The Apple A19 Pro is Apple’s flagship phone chip from September 2025, and NanoReview’s crowd aggregate puts its headline AnTuTu 11 total at 2,538,751. That total blends CPU, graphics, memory and interface results, so it answers less than it first appears to answer.
Apple announced the chip on September 9, 2025, alongside the iPhone 17 Pro models, according to Apple’s own press release. NanoReview lists the Apple A19 Pro as a 6-core chip built on a 3-nanometer TSMC process. All benchmark figures here are NanoReview aggregates (CR). PetaTech24 did not test the chip.
In Brief
- The Apple A19 Pro uses 2 performance cores at 4.26GHz and 4 efficiency cores at 2.6GHz, on a 3nm TSMC process.
- Graphics use the Apple A19 Pro GPU, a 6-core design at 1620MHz, with 768 shaders and 2,488.3 GFLOPS.
- The Neural Engine is listed at 35 TOPS, with LPDDR5X memory at 76.8 Gb/s and a 12GB maximum.
- Headline scores for the Apple A19 Pro (CR): AnTuTu 11 total 2,538,751; Geekbench 6 single-core 3,970 and multi-core 10,558.
- Graphics tests (CR): 3DMark Steel Nomad Light 2,487 with 76% stability, and Solar Bay 10,999.
- Connectivity lists a Snapdragon X80 modem, Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6.0, with downloads listed up to 10,000 Mbps.
- The chip runs in the iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max and iPhone Air, with a different AnTuTu 11 total listed for each phone.
Why You Should Care
Single-core speed shapes the moments you notice most. App launches, web rendering and photo processing lean on one fast core first, so the Apple A19 Pro Geekbench 6 single-core figure of 3,970 (CR) is the most useful headline number for everyday use, even as a crowd aggregate.
Multi-core and total scores matter in a different place. Video exports, large photo batches and sustained games spread work across cores, graphics and memory together. This profile breaks the total into its four parts first.
The phone around the chip still decides part of the result. Cooling and software tuning feed into scores often read as silicon alone. Judge the whole phone, not the chip name alone.
Apple A19 Pro Specifications: CPU, GPU and Memory
The CPU layout is two performance cores at 4.26GHz plus four efficiency cores at 2.6GHz, with 192KB of L1 cache and 16MB of L2 cache. NanoReview lists the Apple A19 Pro as made by TSMC, model APL1V12, on a 3-nanometer process with the ARMv9.2-A instruction set.
Graphics use the full name Apple A19 Pro GPU, a 6-core design on the Apple A GPU architecture, with 6 pipelines, 128 shading units and 768 total shaders at 1620MHz. The 2,488.3 GFLOPS figure is a specification, not a game frame rate.
Memory is LPDDR5X at 4800MHz on a 4x 16-bit bus, with maximum bandwidth of 76.8 Gb/s exactly as NanoReview lists it, and a maximum size of 12GB. Storage is NVMe, the camera ceiling is 3x 48MP, and video reaches 4K120.
On-device AI work for the Apple A19 Pro is listed at 35 TOPS for the Neural Engine, a theoretical figure, not a measured result on a named AI task.
Apple A19 Pro Benchmarks: AnTuTu 11 and Geekbench 6
The headline AnTuTu 11 total is 2,538,751 (CR). Its parts, CPU 753,740, GPU 926,158, memory 217,137 and UX 641,716, sum exactly to the total. The GPU part is largest, so a strong total can reflect graphics as much as CPU strength.
Geekbench 6 gives a single-core score of 3,970 and a multi-core score of 10,558 (CR), on the same test version. Both come from the same NanoReview aggregate page. No figure from a different benchmark version, and no individual user-submitted entry, is used in this profile.
Testing note: No published same-chassis lab test exists for the Apple A19 Pro. Scores below come from different retail phones in NanoReview’s crowd aggregate, tested at different times. Treat them as orientation only, not a controlled duel.
Context helps if it stays inside the same versions. PetaTech24’s A20 Pro profile lists AnTuTu 11 at 3,434,654 and Geekbench 6 at 4,733/12,836, also (CR). Against the Apple A19 Pro, that is about 35%, 19% and 22% higher on AnTuTu 11, single-core and multi-core, comparing aggregates across phones, not a lab duel.
NanoReview also publishes composite ratings of CPU 97, gaming 93, battery 96 and 95 overall. They are a summary scale, not measured hours, frame rates or temperatures.
Apple A19 Pro Graphics: What 3DMark Does and Does Not Show
Steel Nomad Light scores 2,487 with 76% stability and a graphics test result of 18 FPS (CR). Solar Bay scores 10,999 at 42 FPS, with sections at 47, 42 and 36 FPS (CR). Never rank the two scores as one test.
The Geekbench 6 compute score of 45,708 for the Apple A19 Pro needs a clear warning. NanoReview lists its API as Metal. A Metal compute score is not comparable to a Vulkan compute score, and this article never compares them directly. The figure is reported only as a Metal result.
Sustained gaming stays unproven on this evidence. No frame-rate test with stated settings, no sustained-load result and no temperature finding appears in the listing used here. Wait for controlled testing of the exact phone model, with settings stated.
Battery, Connectivity and Everyday Use
Battery life is a phone property, not a chip property. Battery size, display, software tuning and modem load affect endurance more than the processor alone, and no same-body battery evidence for the Apple A19 Pro appears in the listing used here. This profile therefore names no battery winner.
Connectivity lists the Snapdragon X80 modem, LTE Cat. 24, 5G support, Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6.0. Listed maximums reach 10,000 Mbps down and 3,700 Mbps up. Those are listed maximums, not live-network speeds, which depend on carrier, plan, signal and antenna design.
Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6.0 help only with matching equipment, so a buyer needs a Wi-Fi 7 router and compatible accessories to use the newest features.
What the Scores Do Not Prove
Three gaps stay open. No controlled laboratory review (LR) was cited in the NanoReview listing, so every score here carries the weaker crowd-aggregate tag. No chip price, modem speed, frame rate or battery endurance finding from controlled testing is claimed.
The phone listing sharpens the warning. NanoReview lists the iPhone 17 Pro Max at 2,590,567 on AnTuTu 11, the iPhone Air at 2,568,709 and the iPhone 17 Pro at 2,538,751, all (CR). The Apple A19 Pro headline figure is the iPhone 17 Pro figure, and the spread is only about 2%.
Those gaps do not make the scores useless. They make them a starting point, not a verdict on silicon alone.
FAQ
What is the Apple A19 Pro?
It is Apple’s flagship phone chip announced on September 9, 2025, built by TSMC on a 3-nanometer process. The chip pairs a 6-core CPU with the Apple A19 Pro GPU, a 6-core design, and a Neural Engine listed at 35 TOPS. It runs in the iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max and iPhone Air, according to NanoReview.
What are the headline benchmark scores?
On NanoReview’s crowd aggregate (CR), AnTuTu 11 totals 2,538,751 and Geekbench 6 scores 3,970 single-core and 10,558 multi-core. Geekbench 6 compute is 45,708 on Metal, not comparable with a Vulkan compute score. 3DMark Steel Nomad Light is 2,487 and Solar Bay is 10,999.
Does the chip decide battery life?
No. Battery life depends on battery size, display, software and modem load as well as the chip, and no same-body battery evidence appears in the listing used here. The battery composite of 96 is a summary rating, not an endurance result.
Which phones use the chip, and should I upgrade for it alone?
NanoReview lists the iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max and iPhone Air. The scores show a capable flagship chip, but they do not prove sustained gaming, battery endurance or live network speed. Judge the whole phone, and confirm the exact model, variant and warranty before buying. Judge the chip as part of that phone, not alone.
The Takeaway
The evidence supports a narrow conclusion. The Apple A19 Pro pairs a fast single-core result with a graphics-led AnTuTu total, on a 3nm TSMC process with a 35 TOPS Neural Engine and a Snapdragon X80 modem, per NanoReview’s crowd aggregate.
The limits matter as much as the scores. Every figure here is (CR), the Metal compute score cannot be ranked against Vulkan compute, and the same chip scores differently in different phones. No battery winner follows from this listing.
Buy the phone, not the chip name. Choose among the three phones on screen size, cameras, battery size and price in your market, and check the exact variant and warranty first. The Apple A19 Pro numbers alone do not settle which phone to buy.
