Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens Wu Yanzu in South China for the delivery of clues! CTOnews.com news on March 12, YouTuber @ Max Tech shared the Geekbench 6 single-core and multi-core running score data of Apple's A17 engineering machine.

From its performance data, under the blessing of TSMC 3nm, A17 not only has a higher energy consumption ratio, but also achieves a leap in performance again.

Of course, according to all kinds of information gathered by CTOnews.com, the A17 Bionic will probably only be used in two high-end Pro models, namely, the iPhone 15 Pro and the iPhone 15 Pro Max (or Ultra), and prices may rise again because of the sharp increase in costs.

From the point of view of the running scores given by the whistleblowers, this engineering machine has achieved a horror score of 3986 points in a single core and 8841 points in a multi-core, almost the same performance as the MacBook.

As a reference, the iPhone 14 Pro run included by Geekbench is divided into single core 2504 points and multi-core 6314 points. In other words, if the news is true, it means that the next generation of A17 bionic chips will bring 59.2% improvement in single-core performance and 40% improvement in multi-core performance.

According to previous revelations, Apple's upcoming iPhone 15 Pro model is expected to feature an A17 bionic processor, Apple's first iPhone chip based on TSMC's first-generation 3nm process. Liu Deyin, chairman of TSMC, said that 3nm is 60 per cent denser than 5nm), which ensures that the same performance can be achieved while reducing power consumption by about 35 per cent.

Despite the high manufacturing costs, it has been reported that Apple has won all the initial orders for TSMC's first-generation 3-nanotechnology. It also means that other smartphone makers, such as Samsung, are willing to wait for prices to fall before adopting the process, and the Android market is expected to face a tough situation in 2023 amid global economic turmoil.

Apple's faster A17 chip will only be used on the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max, while the regular iPhone 15 and Plus versions will use the A16 chip previously used on the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max.

Available intelligence indicates that the iPhone 15 series models are expected to replace the Lightning interface with the USB-C interface, and the Pro series models will also have exclusive A17 bionic chip, Wi-Fi 6e support, solid-state volume and power buttons, enhanced LiDAR sensors, new periscope camera technology, ProMotion and all-weather display functions.
