Apple recently unveiled a range of new products, set to hit stores this Wednesday. Early performance benchmarks have started to surface, likely from reviewers and those with pre-release access.
Last week, the MacBook Neo’s performance was shared, showcasing the capabilities of the A18 Pro chip. Now, benchmarks for the iPhone 17e are emerging, aligning with expectations for the A19 chip it houses.
The A19 chip isn’t a new addition, having been introduced in the iPhone 17 last year. However, the iPhone 17e differs slightly with one less GPU core compared to the iPhone 17, leading to speculation of an under-clocked A18 chip in the budget model.
Despite minor variations in benchmarks, like the iPhone 16e from last year, the differences are minimal and within an acceptable margin of error.
As more benchmarks are submitted, the true performance of the iPhone 17e will become clearer. Currently, there are 44 CPU benchmarks available, with more expected once the device reaches consumers.
| Device (Chip) | Single Core | Multi-Core | Metal |
|---|---|---|---|
| iPhone 17e (A19) | 3,400 | 8,559 | 31,107 |
Initial Metal benchmarks indicate a slight decrease in graphics performance for the iPhone 17e compared to other models in the lineup.
Despite some variations in performance metrics, the iPhone 17e is expected to deliver a comparable user experience to the iPhone 17, making it a viable upgrade option for users.
