The A19 Pro's performance is almost equal to the M2 Chips found in the iPad Pro.
The GPU performance benchmarks for the A19 Pro Chips found inside Apple's newest iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max have been leaked and are all over the internet, with the numbers looking better than any other flagship device.
As you may already know, on Sept 9, the Apple Event took place, where Tim Cook and team revealed the new iPhone 17s, the Apple Watch SE 3, Series 11, and Ultra 3, the new AirPods Pro, along with a few other things, after which creators and media were given hands-on with the new devices.
Fast forward today, we got a graphics benchmark for Apple's flagship devices, and the score was a massive 45,657 for the Pro Max, with around 200 points less on the Pro.

The benchmarking was done on Geekbench, and thus, the scores are reliable and on point.
That said, here's a look at the graphical benchmark for the different iPhone 17 models:
- iPhone 17 (18,3)
- Metal Score: 37014
- 6-core CPU, 5-core GPU
- Bionic A19 Chip
- iPhone Air (18,4)
- Metal Score: 37743
- 6-core CPU, 5-core GPU
- Bionic A19 Pro Chip
- iPhone 17 Pro (18,1)
- Metal Score: 44342
- 6-core CPU, 6-core GPU
- Bionic A19 Pro Chip
- iPhone 17 Pro Max (18,2)
- Metal Score: 45657
- 6-core CPU, 6-core GPU
- Bionic A19 Pro Chip
To know how good the new A19 Pro Chip is, you must know that Samsung's S25 Ultra's 8 Elite Chip's score is only 26,893. What's worse is Google Pixel 10 Pro XL's performance, which is a meager 3,647.
That said, the A19 Pro chip's graphical performance matches that of the M2 Chips inside the iPad Pro's as their Metal score is 45864.
