The launch of the iPhone 15 series in September, so it's high time to look at the processor that will go to the new Apple models. This year is going to be unusual...
According to the latest rumours, and this year Apple will do otherwise, than before. The new processor will receive the Pro models, while the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Max will remain with the currently used Apple A16 Bionic. It is not known why this will be - but most likely the cost of manufacturing the new system was decisive. So - what will the Apple A17 Bionic processor be like?
The Apple A17 Bionic processor is created using a state-of-the-art 3-nanometer lithographic process. Thanks to this, it is to offer not only high efficiency, but also - above all - energy efficiency. Computing power may increase by up to 15%, while energy demand is expected to fall by almost a third. The clock speed of the main core will reach an impressive 3.7 GHz. for comparison, the current Apple A16 "spins" up to 3.46 GHz. Finer lithography and higher clock speeds are not the only changes. There will also be an additional, sixth core in the graphics system, so we can also count on wider image processing capabilities. Interestingly, by increasing the performance of the processor, Apple will reportedly remain unchanged in operating memory capacity. It is still supposed to have 6 GB - modest in the Android world, but completely sufficient for Apple software. Although earlier rumors suggested increasing the RAM to 8 GB - the latest ones contradict it.
