of iPhone 15 its arrival invited many Android comparisons. New A17 Pro With the processor (Apple abandoned the Bionic name), we may be looking at a new performance champion. Well, Apple’s new generation processor, A17 Pro, Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 How does it perform against it?
Before we dive into the specs, it’s worth noting that Apple no longer uses more powerful processors in every new iPhone. A17 Pro, To iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max special. Normal and Plus versions, powering the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max in 2022 A16 Bionic uses.
Apple A17 Pro vs Snapdragon 8 Gen 2
As always, Apple’s latest processors Arm architecture It was built on a customized approach. This means processor cores you won’t find in the Android space or anywhere else, giving the chip a more unique performance profile. Apple’s A17 Pro as always two powerful cores And four energy-saving cores but Apple did not name them this year.
Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 uses licensed Arm processor components: a single Cortex-X3, four Cortex-A715 and four Cortex-A510. This setup looks a bit more dynamic in the power department and has more cores. However, the A17 Pro has a score advantage in the single-core and multi-core sections according to benchmarks.
iPhone 15 couldn’t do it: Apple will end an era with iPhone 16!
Apple can switch to screens with 120Hz refresh rate with the iPhone 16 family. ProMotion is currently only available on Pro models.

In conclusion A17 Pro has 2757 points in a single core, 7158 points in multi-core owner. Used in Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra to Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 When we look at 1964 points in single core and 5199 points in multi-core owner. 3DMark Wildlife GPU When it comes to the test 8 Gen 2 on S23 Ultra 13298 points while giving A17 Pro gives 11860 points. So, in this respect, the Android processor Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, which is one generation behind, leaves Apple’s new generation processor behind.
The superiority of the A17 Pro is seen here, but there is a very important point we need to point out. Apple is a generation ahead of Android in processor tempo. Android smartphones from Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and Google Tensor G3′He will see his own increase with the coming of fame. Then we can make a fairer comparison and obtain more accurate results.
