I played Resident Evil Village on the iPhone 15 Pro before it’s released. These are my impressions with the game and the phone’s performance.
Back in September, with the iPhone 15 Pro announcement, Apple said Capcom would release a few Resident Evil games for these iPhones thanks to the new A17 Pro chip. It’s important to note that these are not mobile versions but the same you would find on a PlayStation 4/5, Xbox Series X/S, or PC.
Apple says these ports were possible thanks to this new chip, which has only 3nm in size – and it’s an industry-first. Apple states it has 19 billion transistors with a 6-core CPU, two high-end performance cores, up to 10% faster, and 4 performance-core CPUs. Thanks to the new Neural Engine, it can perform 35 trillion operations per second.
With a new 6-core GPU, it’s 20% faster than the previous generation while also improving efficiency. One of the exclusive features of this processor is the hardware-accelerate ray tracing, 4x better than software ray tracing, which was previously available with the iPhone 14 Pro.
