Apple A14 Bionic Detailed Review

Performance

Apple A14 Bionic has 6 cores that are divided into 2 performance cores (Firestorm) and four power efficiency cores (Icestorm). It states that it offers a 40 percent higher CPU performance than the old A12.  As a result of it they should translate to a modest gain of around 20% compared to the Apple A13 old version. Apple A14 Bionic has a 16-core Neural Engine that can reach a maximum of 11 TOPS (trillion operations per second).  The die size of A14 processor is considered to be 88 mm2, with a transistor density of 134 million transistors per mm. It is normally manufactured in a package on package (PoP) together with a 4 GB of LPDDR4X memory in the iPhone 12 and a 6 GB of LPDDR4X memory in the iPhone 12 Pro.

Summary

Highly efficient cores, complete package.

Connectivity & Features

Apple A14 Bionic is considered to be the fastest and most power-efficient mobile processor. The 5nm technology is about 15% faster but uses a full 30% lower power than the other nodes. Based on a 5nm design of the bionic chip, it came with a crazy benchmark result and completely tossed and strangled the current standing Android flagships out the window set.

Summary

Compatible with 5G and good connection speed.

Graphics & Memory

The Apple A14 Bionic is a 64-bit ARM SoC (System on chip) which is stated to be 40% better than A12 in terms of the central processing unit (CPU).  The graphics processing unit (GPU) is approximately up to 30% faster than the A12. A14 CPU also includes second-generation machine learning matrix scalar multiplication accelerators which according to Apple are called AMX blocks. 

Summary

Fast and accelerated chip with great memory.

Multimedia ( Camera)

The Apple A14 Bionic is the fastest chip in a smartphone that provides powerful computational photography features to all its users. The mobile processor contains a sum of 11.8 billion transistors, up 39 per cent from the A13's unit base.

Summary

According to industry experts, A14 Bionic and iOS 14 make up the best machine learning platform.

Game performance

The A14 Bionic includes a 4-core GPU within it. Game performance with Apple mobile devices is generally very good. A14 is projected to have 30-per cent faster performance than the A12. It is good for gamers.

Summary

The utility performance is good and results in a perfect option for gamers. The utility performance is good and results in a perfect option for gamers.
