A smartphone's processor is a key factor affecting the device's thermal management. The design and manufacturing process of a processor determines its thermal efficiency during high-performance operation. If the A17 Pro chip uses a more advanced manufacturing process, it should theoretically have a better energy efficiency ratio, but this also depends on actual design optimization.www.easiahome.com
If this is the case then why does the a17 have higher power draw than the a16 with a minor performance difference? this guys does not know what he is talking about
A well-known analyst has claimed that reported Apple iPhone 15 Pro overheating issues have been caused by the design changes made between the iPhone 14 and iPhone 15 generations and not the SoC manufacturing process. The iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max have an A17 Pro chip based on a 3-nanometer process from TSMC.
