Earlier Today, Apple officially announced their iPhone 12 lineup .It comes in with an all-new design,5G wireless capability and a few more extra kicks making it one of the most anticipated iPhone launch event ever with over 1 Million live stream views.
The iPhone 12 Mini which is the worlds Smallest, Thinnest & Lightest 5G Phone is feature packed with tons of performance and design upgrades. Apart from the stunning XDR display, aesthetic looks and handy charging options, This 5.4 inch device comes up with the latest “A14 Bionic SoC” which is the worlds first smartphone chip built on 5nm process technology thereby increasing the overall power efficiency.
Apple claims that the 6 Core CPU in their new A14 bionic is 50% faster than any other smartphone chip .Also the 4 Core GPU comes in with 50% faster graphics, increased image processing and machine learning capabilities. The neural engine in the A14 has been doubled from 8 to 16 cores and could now perform up to a whopping 11.2 trillion operations per second.
“A14 Bionic, The only thing even close was our last chip”-Apple
This SoC is packed with 11.8 billion transistors(An increase of nearly 40% compared to A13)which is equivalent to modern day computing standards. Aside from fluctuations in base frequency rate and thermal dissipation, the core count is much higher resulting in faster processing and consequently outshines most of the consumer notebooks out there including the ones having a dedicated CPU.
Earlier back in September, Apple had also claimed that the new A14 Bionic SoC is twice as fast as the most windows laptop, three times faster than any Android tablet and six times faster than the fastest Chromebook.
According to Geekbench Scores which has been sourced out from the iPad air earlier this month suggests that the A14 Bionic scored 1583 in single-core benchmark test and 4198 in the multi-core test which makes this chip miles ahead from vendors like Qualcomm and Exynos.
So far,the A14 SoC on the upcoming Macbook models is expected to have a redesigned structure for better thermal efficiency and higher clock frequency for much more power oriented computing features.
The iPhone 12 mini arrives on November 13th starting at $729.
