The iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max were announced earlier this week as the first phones on the market with a 3nm chipset. The Apple A17 Pro SoC features a 6-core processor with 2 performance cores along with 4 efficiency units which Apple claims offers a 10% speed increase over the A16 Bionic.
Luckily for us, Geekbench now has benchmark scores for the iPhone 15 Pro series, revealing some additional details about the A17 Pro chip and giving us a baseline to compare against last year’s A16 Bionic SoC.
iPhone 15 Pro (iPhone 16.1) scored 2,908 single-core points and 7,238 multi-core points. For reference, last year’s iPhone 14 Pro achieved a score of 2,500 single-core and 6,400 multi-core on Geekbench, which translates to a single-core score improvement of 16% and a multi-core gain of 13% on the new iPhone 15 Pro.

Geekbench also revealed a base frequency of 3.78GHz for the CPU performance cores inside the A17 Pro, taking the crown for the fastest performance cores on a mobile chipset. No word on core clock speed efficiency for now.

iPhone 15 Pro Max (iPhone 16.2) scored 2,846 single-core points and 7,024 multi-core points, respectively. The new Geekbench listings also confirm 8GB of RAM as previously revealed on Xcode. It will be interesting to see how the new 3nm A17 Pro chip performs in terms of efficiency given the new 3nm process.
