The A19 Pro shows impressive performance, especially its massive graphics boost vs. A18 Pro. Bodes well for the M5.
The svelte iPhone Air beats the iPhone 16 Pro tank despite fewer cores and thermal throttling. Quite impressive.
I’m curious about differences between A19 Pro and non-Pro, but my usual corners of the internet seem a bit mum on that right now. It’s tempting to think of Pro as more RAM, higher clock (due to vapor chamber thermal envelope), and more GPU cores but then the Air comes with a tighter thermal envelope and fewer GPU cores and yet it has a Pro. And there’s good indication that the non_Pro GPU’ 5 cores actually come with a higher peak clock than the Pro’s 6 GPU cores. So there must be some more going on here. Looking forward to a technical deep dive like the ones AnandTech used to do.
Not really that I care about iPhone CPU/GPU performance, just curious about the hardware. Especially considering the A19 likely tells us quite a bit about the upcoming M5 which I do care about. And not to forget, chances are we might soon see a new MacBook equipped for the first time with an A-series CPU, the A19 perhaps?
