Apple 5nm A14 Bionic Chipset!
The iPhone 12 series will be the first set of smartphones by Apple to feature the 5nm chipsets which will undoubtedly mark a huge improvement in performance compared to what was being offered with the 7nm based A13 Bionic. The A14 Bionic chipset holds importance for the company as Apple is soon going to release its iPhone 12 series with four phones in total this year. While Apple is planning to release its 12 series, it is also expected that a considerably more powerful version is expected to debut in the company’s first ARM-powered MacBook’s which is expected to arrive by the end of this year.
The A14 chip will succeed the A13 Bionic, which is integrated in the current iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 11 Pro Max and the recent iPhone SE.
The company claims that A14 Bionic will offer greater and much more powerful performance gains over the A13 Bionic. There are claims that there will be an increase of 40% for the CPU and 50% for the GPU performance. The A14X Bionic in future devices will undoubtedly outperform the A14 Bionic which is the good news. TSMC says this 5nm chip “is about 15% faster but uses a full 30% lower power than the current 7nm node that is in the Snapdragon 865 Plus or Apple A13.” That means better and bigger battery life and longevity on a charge, particularly in today’s time where phones have more energy demands than ever before, between 5G modems, high refresh-rate OLED screens and other features as well.
As per the Geekbench scores, Apple’s A14 Bionic chipset flaunts Hexa cores with a clock speed of up to 3.1GHz. The chipset managed to score 1658 points in the single-core performance while it managed to score 4612 scores in the multi-core aspect. The A14 Bionic chipset also manages to beat the A13 Bionic chip as well as Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 865 processor. By comparison, the A12X on the 12.9-inch iPad Pro scored 1,110 on the single-core and 4,568 on the multi-core test. Apple’s newest smartphone, the iPhone 11 Pro Max, packs the A13 Bionic chipset and had a single-core score of 1,330 points.
The upcoming iPhone 12 series will include four different variants. It will include a 5.4-inch iPhone, two 6.1-inch iPhone, and a 6.7-inch models. While there will be many options in this series, one another exciting news that comes along with the iPhone 12 series is the fact that it will come with 5G connectivity support.
