Apple has officially unveiled the iPhone 17 series, and the standard model is powered by the new A19 chipset. The latest A19 processor aims to strike the right balance between performance and efficiency. Apple claims notable improvements in CPU, AI processing and battery life, making the A19 a solid upgrade for everyday users. To see how well it performs, we have discussed A19's Geekbench result and compiled its full specifications.
Apple A19 Geekbench Score
In an early Geekbench listing, the Apple A19 processor running on the iPhone 17 has scored 3,608 in single-core and 8,810 in multi-core. Two of the performance cores are running at 4.26GHz with 4MB of L2 cache. Compared to the A19 Pro, the A19 delivers slightly weak performance due to relatively lower L2 cache size and no vapour chamber cooling support.

Apple A19 Specs
The Apple A19 is built on TSMC’s advanced 3nm (N3P) process node and comes with a 6-core CPU alongside a 5-core Apple GPU. Apple says the A19 processor delivers 20% faster graphics performance than last year's A18 chip. You also get HW-accelerated Ray Tracing support and Neural Accelerators inside the GPU like the flagship A19 Pro.
Along with that, there is an improved 16-core Neural Engine for faster on-device AI tasks. And the new N1 chip brings Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0, and Thread networking technology. We’ll be updating this article with detailed benchmark results soon, so stay tuned.
