Early Benchmarks Support Apple’s A19 Pro Claims, Showing M2-Class GPU Gains

Leaked Geekbench/Metal scores suggest sizable performance gains that track with Apple’s claims, pending independent verification.

Overview

  • Geekbench CPU leak lists 3,895 single-core and 9,746 multi-core for iPhone 17 Pro, roughly 13–14% ahead of typical A18 Pro results.
  • Metal GPU score of 45,657 is about 40% higher than A18 Pro’s 32,673 and roughly matches Apple’s M2 in the same test.
  • iPhone 17 Pro models introduce vapor chamber cooling to maintain higher clocks and reduce throttling during prolonged workloads.
  • Apple’s A19 family uses a 6‑core CPU across the range, with a 6‑core GPU on 17 Pro versus 5‑core GPUs on A19 and the iPhone Air.
  • All A19 variants add per‑GPU‑core Neural Accelerators with a 16‑core Neural Engine, and higher‑tier phones are listed with 12GB of RAM versus 8GB on the base model.
