iPhone 15 Pro test shows A17 Pro chip throttling and overheating
The iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max have Apple's A17 Pro, the company's newest System-on-Chip (SoC). This is the only 3nm chip in the industry right now and an SoC that will be hard for flagship Android devices to beat even in 2024. Reports say that only Apple can secure a 3nm chip right now, as the company bought out the entire TSMC supply for the first year.
Apple focused extensively on the A17 Pro's gaming power during the iPhone 15 event last week. And benchmark tests that followed showed that the handset is faster than M2 MacBooks in single-core tests. The GPU performance upgrade makes me think the 3nm M3 chip coming out soon to power new MacBook Air and Pro models will be even better for gaming.
But now that the first iPhone 15 reviews are out, we have an in-depth analysis of the A17 Pro chip. According to a reviewer from China, the A17 Pro can overheat during intense tasks, reaching temperatures as high as 118.4ºF. Also, the chip will throttle performance while under stress.
