  "textContent": "The first benchmarks for the iPhone 17e surfaced in the Geekbench 6 database today, offering a closer look at the A19 chip's performance.\n\n\nFor multi-core CPU performance, the highest score the iPhone 17e achieved so far is 9,241. As expected, this is nearly identical to the standard iPhone 17 model with the A19 chip, which has an average multi-core score of 9,249.\n\nThere is one tiny catch, as the iPhone 17e has a 4-core GPU, whereas the iPhone 17 has a 5-core GPU. With one fewer GPU core, the iPhone 17e obviously has slightly lower graphics performance, with the device achieving Metal scores of around 31,000 to 31,500 in early Geekbench results, compared to around 37,000 for the iPhone 17.\n\nIn our view, most customers are unlikely to notice a significant difference in graphics performance between the iPhone 17e and iPhone 17.\n\nThe previous-generation iPhone 16e with an A18 chip also has a 4-core GPU.\n\nThe table below provides a comparison of multi-core CPU scores for some iPhones.\n\n\n\niPhone Model\n| Multi-Core CPU Score\n\n---|---\n\niPhone 17 Pro (A19 Pro)| 9,805\n\niPhone 17 (A19)| 9,249\n\n**iPhone 17e (A19)**| **9,241**\n\niPhone 16 Pro (A18 Pro)| 8,625\n\niPhone 16e (A18)| 7,977\n\niPhone 15 Pro (A17 Pro)| 7,199\n\n\n\n\n\n\niPhone 17e features the same overall design as the iPhone 16e, but it gains Apple's A19 chip, MagSafe for magnetic wireless charging and magnetic accessories, Apple's second-generation C1X modem for faster 5G, and a doubled 256GB of base storage. In the U.S., the iPhone 17e starts at $599, just like the iPhone 16e did.\n\niPhone 17e pre-orders began March 4, and the device launches March 11.\n\nRelated Roundup: iPhone 17e\n\nTags: Benchmarks, Geekbench, iPhone\n\nBuyer's Guide: iPhone 17e (Buy Now)\n\nRelated Forum: iPhone\n\n\nThis article, \"iPhone 17e Benchmarks Reveal A19 Chip Performance With a Tiny Catch\" first appeared on MacRumors.com\n\nDiscuss this article in our forums\n\n",
