Apple A17 Pro
Apple's first 3nm chip brought hardware ray tracing and a USB 3 controller to the iPhone 15 Pro. Its 19-billion-transistor CPU stayed ahead of every 2024 Android rival in single-core, though early units ran warm until software tuning caught up.
Pros
- First 3nm chip in a smartphone
- Hardware ray tracing debut for Apple GPUs
- Class-leading single-core speed of its generation
- 35 TOPS Neural Engine doubles the A16's AI throughput
- Enabled USB 3 speeds on iPhone for the first time
Cons
- Ran warm in early iPhone 15 Pro firmware
- No integrated modem
- Multi-core trails 8-core Android flagships
