A19 Pro processor undergoes testing
Apple has switched from titanium alloy to aluminum chassis in the new iPhone models. This design change, combined with the addition of a vapor chamber to the chipset, helps the A19 Pro maintain its high power limits.
While the previous-generation A18 Pro and A17 Pro processors were forced to slow down due to overheating issues, the A19 Pro operates at higher wattage, providing a significant advantage in long-term gaming performance.
The tests show that the A19 Pro offers a significant leap forward compared to previous processors. In the Resident Evil 4 Remake test, the A19 Pro achieved 52.2 FPS, while the A18 Pro achieved 33.3 FPS and the A17 Pro 31.6 FPS. During this test, the A19 Pro consumed 6.1W of power, while the A18 Pro consumed 4.7W and the A17 Pro 4.9W.
In the Death Stranding test, the A19 Pro achieved 47.1 FPS, beating the A18 Pro’s 29.3 FPS and the A17 Pro’s 27.8 FPS, achieving a 60-69% increase. In Assassin’s Creed Mirage, the A19 Pro achieved 29.7 FPS, a 45-61% increase over the previous generation.
