Preliminary test results from the benchmarking website Geekbench confirm that the iPhone 15 Pro has more memory than previous models and has improved performance by about 10%. Now that the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max have been unveiled, benchmark results are starting to appear on Geekbench, revealing performance and spec details. For example, although previous rumors suggested that the two Pros would come with 8GB of RAM, up from the previous standard 6GB.

Scores first spotted by MySmartPrice show that the new A17 Pro chipset is 10% more powerful than last year's A16 Bionic. Part of the reason for the improved performance is that the A17 is the first iPhone chip made using TSMC's 3nm process.
In terms of performance, the iPhone 15 Pro (called iPhone 16,1 internally at Apple and shown as iPhone 16,1 on Geekbench) scored 2908 points in the single-core test. The multi-core score is 7238.
In comparison, the iPhone 15 Pro Max (i.e. iPhone 16.2) has a single-core score of 2846 points and a multi-core score of 7024 points.
This does mean that the smaller iPhone 15 Pro scores higher than the larger version. But that's likely a difference in size - the iPhone 15 Pro Max needs more pixels to drive.
In either case, the new score is significantly higher than the iPhone 14 Pro Max's A16 Bionic processor. The processor has a single-core score of 2546 points and a multi-core score of 6631 points.
