According to a tweet from user @URedditor, a known Apple tipster, the newest generation of Apple's in-house A17 silicon will have 6 CPU cores paired with 6 GPU cores.
To recap, last year's iPhone 14 featured the A16 SoC, which had 6 CPU cores and 5 GPU cores. While that may seem like a huge upgrade, it should result in faster graphical performance.

There seems to be a small increase to core clock speeds as well, with the high-performance cores now running at 3.70 GHz, as opposed to 3.46 GHz on the A16.
