Recently, the evaluation results of the A17 Pro processor equipped with the iPhone 15 series mobile phones have attracted widespread attention. Although Apple claims that the A17 Pro is a powerful processor, the actual evaluation results are different from expectations
According to evaluation results from multiple media, the performance of the A17 Pro did not reach the expected level. As far as the CPU is concerned, although the overall large-core performance of the A17 Pro has improved by nearly 10%, the peak power consumption has reached 14W, and the energy efficiency has not been significantly improved. However, it is worth mentioning that the small-core performance of this processor far exceeds that of the Snapdragon processor, and is equivalent to the mid-core performance of Snapdragon 8 Gen2, while the power consumption is only half of the latter
Regarding the GPU, the A17 Pro has improved by 20% compared to the A16, but it still cannot catch up with the Snapdragon 8 Gen2 released last year. In terms of game performance, due to heat dissipation limitations, the performance of the A17 Pro in the "Genshin Impact" game is almost the same as that of the previous generation. In less than ten minutes, it began to experience frequency reduction and brightness reduction. In addition, although the A17 Pro Pro has the characteristics of doubling the computing power of light tracing and neural network, but the corresponding software adaptation is still unclear, resulting in these functions not being fully utilized
According to the editor’s understanding, although Apple executives have said that iPhone 15 The Pro will be the best gaming machine, but actual performance shows that the machine may have overheating issues when running games, which has also caused some concerns.
Taken together, the performance of the A17 processor in terms of performance and energy efficiency is not satisfactory. Although some new features have been added, we need to wait for further improvement of software adaptation to fully realize its potential. Consumers may need more time to evaluate whether this processor is worth upgrading
