The A17 is used by both the D83 and D84, also likely planned for D47 and D48 (16 series), as the D9x will use the t8140 (A18).
Rumors that the A17 Bionic will be manufactured in TSMC's 3nm process have been reported several times.

There are rumors that the A17 Bionic will be upgraded to 8GB of RAM, but Unknownz21 said, ``I've only seen 6GB so far.'' maybe,' he said. The previous generation A16 Bionic chip installed in the iPhone 14 Pro has 6GB of RAM.
Also, it seems that this A17 Bionic chip will be installed only in the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. The iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus are expected to use the A16 Bionic chip found in the iPhone 14 Pro/Pro Max.
The specifications of A16 Bionic are as follows.
CPU: 6 cores, 6 threads, maximum operating frequency 3.46GHz
GPU: 5 cores
Neural Engine: 16 Neural cores (17TOPS)
RAM: 6GB (LPDDR5-6400), 51.2GB/s
Process node: TSMC 4nm
Regarding the A16 Bionic, there was a report that ``At the beginning of development, a higher performance GPU was planned'', but the A17 Bionic has increased the number of GPU cores to 6 cores and has been upgraded. .
It turns out that the performance of the iPhone 14 Pro was significantly lower than the original plan-GIGAZINE
