With the approach of September, new details continue to emerge about the iPhone 14 series and the Apple A16 Bionic processor that will power this series. Apple has been including new processors in new iPhone models for years, but it is claimed that this situation will change with the iPhone 14 series.
Pro models will include the Apple A16 Bionic processor, a better camera and a different screen setup. It is expected that Apple will appear in front of the user with the A15 Bionic processor, 12 Megapixel camera and notched screens that we are currently using in standard models.
There is also a difference in performance in the iPhone 13 series, which is currently on the market. However, this processor difference is not as big. Standard iPhone 13 models have a 4-core GPU, while Pro models have 5-core GPUs. On the RAM side, there is a difference of 4 GB and 6 GB (both LPDDR4X).
iPhone 14 processor: Apple A16 Bionic features
The 5-core A15 chipset, which will be included in the iPhone 14 and 14 Max, is expected to be accompanied by 6 GB of LPDDR4X RAM. So, how fast will the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max be?
The new A16 chips will be manufactured using TSMC’s N4P fabrication process. It’s a nice improvement over the N5P used in the A15, but it’s not a generation jump. It is thought that Apple will meet the user with the same core configuration, 2 large and 4 small.
However, it is expected to increase the number of transistors and achieve a performance increase of about 15 percent thanks to ARMv9.
Of course, the developments on the RAM side will affect the performance positively. DigiTimes states that the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max will use LPDDR5 technology, which offers 50 percent more bandwidth than LPDDR4X, but the capacity will remain at 6 GB.
On the GPU side, 5 core levels will continue to be maintained, but the performance increase is expected to be around 25-30 percent. It is claimed that the iPhone 14 Pro series will have a 48 Megapixel camera and 8K video recording. In this case, the cinematic mode is expected to go from Full HD to 4K.
For this improvement on the camera side, it is necessary to include a better image signal processor and machine learning hardware in the processor. Finally, Snapdragon X65 is expected to be used on the modem side.
