An interesting tidbit about the A16 – looks like the whole “4nm” thing was apparently a marketing gimmick, I’ve seen it labeled as a 5nm chip internally.
This does not Apply to the A17, that one is undoubtedly 3nm, so it should be a more significant upgrade.

URedditor even mentions that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is also manufactured with the 5nm process, although it has superior energy performance in some tests. On the other hand, some analysts say that TSMC’s 3nm lithography is an improved version of the 5nm technology, while the true 3nm process would be the N3E
Speaking now of the Apple A17 Bionic, the informant claims that the iPhone 15 Pro chip should be much more powerful because it has superior manufacturing technology. We are talking about results up to 31% higher in single and multi-core tests compared to the A16m that should still be present in the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus.
