Alongside launching the new iPhone 17 series, Apple also introduced the A19 and A19 Pro chips. The latter is present inside the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max models, and also the iPhone Air, but a binned version with one less GPU core. Apple promises almost a 40% improvement in performance compared to the previous iteration. These claims are now reflected in benchmarks, which show the iPhone 17 Pro is the fastest phone out there.

iPhone 17 Pro may be the fastest phone out there

Leaker Jukanlosreve on X has posted the Geekbench benchmark results of what he claims to be the Apple A19 Pro. The results show the 6 single-core score of 3,895 and a multi-core score of 9,746. Since the phones aren’t out yet, it’s impossible to verify the scores at this point. If they’re indeed accurate, they are very impressive.

The A19 Pro chip reportedly outpaces its current rival, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, by a good 36% margin. It’s also an 11% improvement over the single-core benchmark results of the A18 Pro last year. To recall, this chip was present in the iPhone 16 Pro series.

Apple’s A19 Pro goes head-on with desktop-class chips

The A19 Pro’s single-core scores even compete with desktop-class chips like the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X, Intel Core i9-14900KS, and, interestingly, Apple’s own M4, as per Tom’s Hardware. The A19 Pro is reportedly just under 12% faster than the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X and around 16% quicker than the Intel Core i9-14900KS in single-core benchmarks. However, in the multi-core scores, both Intel and AMD came out on top.

If you’re looking for the fastest phone, the latest Apple iPhone models, particularly the Pro models, are it as things stand now. Having said that, with Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5’s launch right around the corner, things might take a turn. Rumors claim the Qualcomm chip will offer improved gaming performance while consuming less power.
