[2] Apple claims the new high-performance cores are 10% faster due to its improved branch prediction, and wider decode & execution engines, also claiming that the new efficiency cores are faster and 3x more efficient than the competition.

[10] The A17 Pro integrates a new Apple-designed six-core GPU, which Apple claims is 20% faster and their biggest redesign in the history of Apple GPUs, with added hardware accelerated ray tracing and mesh shading support.

[7] The A17 Pro is the first SoC used in Apple devices to support hardware decoding of AV1 video.

[12] The A17 Pro's NPU delivers 35 TOPS (35 trillion operations per second), which has remained unchanged in the Apple A18.

This is approximately 58 times more powerful than the NPU in the A11, which could handle 600 billion operations per second.
