A17 Pro’s Potential Tech enthusiasts have pointed out that the A17 Pro’s ability to challenge desktop-class processors in single-core performance is remarkable. It suggests that the A17 Pro might even compete with Raptor Cove and Zen 4 cores operating around 3.77 GHz. While this benchmark is specific and doesn’t provide a comprehensive picture, the fact that a smartphone processor can outperform Intel and AMD processors is noteworthy.
Improvements Over Its Predecessor Comparing it to its predecessor, the A16 Bionic, the A17 Pro shines. It scored 10% higher in the single-core test, showcasing Apple’s commitment to improving CPU performance. However, in multi-core scores, the A17 Pro only managed a 3% improvement over the A16. This suggests that while Apple has boosted clock speeds, it may not have introduced significant architectural changes.
