The iPhone 17 series is finally official, and so are the new A19 and A19 Pro chips. Apple claims over 40% performance gains on the iPhone 17 Pro compared to the iPhone 16 Pro, which makes it a big deal and a curious case for us. While we wait for the sales to commence from September 19th, the iPhone 17 series has allegedly stopped by at the Geekbench benchmark. This gives a fair idea about what’s on offer.
iPhone 17 series Geekbench results
The alleged iPhone 17 (iPhone 18,3) appears on Geekbench 6.5.0 with a single-core score of 3,608 and a multi-core score of 8,810. The listing also confirms the iPhone 17 is equipped with 8GB RAM. In comparison, the iPhone 16 has managed 3,317 and 8,198 in the single and multi-core Geekbench 6 rounds, respectively. This shows a marginal improvement.
In terms of GPU, the vanilla iPhone 17 achieved a 37,014 Metal score. This is apparently a 33% improvement over the iPhone 16.
iPhone Air features binned A19 Pro
The iPhone Air features a binned version of the A19 Pro with a 6-core CPU and a 5-core GPU. It has managed a score of 3,674 in the single-core round and 8,824 in the multi-core segment. As for the GPU test, the iPhone Air managed a 37,743 Metal score. This is only slightly better than the regular A19 chip on the iPhone 17. The listing confirms it packs 12GB RAM.
Moving on to the Pro models, the iPhone 17 Pro, which features the A19 Pro, managed a single-core score of 3,523 and a multi-core score of 9,028. The iPhone 16 Pro scored 2,981 in the single-core round and 7,939 in the multi-core segment. On the GPU side, the Pro model managed a 44,342 Metal score. This is a 17% jump from the iPhone Air’s score, courtesy of the extra GPU core. This score is also 32% better than the iPhone 16 Pro.
Lastly, the iPhone 17 Pro Max (iPhone 18,2) achieved a 3,781 single-core score and 9,679 in the multi-core department. The Metal GPU score is 45,657, accounting for a 40% jump over the iPhone 16 Pro Max. Both the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max feature 12GB RAM.
