Apple A17 Pro GPU (6-core)

8 GB LPDDR5 · 768 cores

The 6-core GPU of the Apple A17 Pro, introduced in the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max in September 2023. Apple says it is up to 20 percent faster than the A16 Bionic GPU, and it was the first Apple GPU with hardware-accelerated ray tracing and mesh shading. The iPad mini (A17 Pro) uses a version with five GPU cores.
