A12Z Bionic is a 64-bit octa-core ARM mobile system on a chip introduced by Apple in early 2020 as a successor to the A12X.

ISP

The A12Z incorporates an Apple image signal processor with depth engine.

Integrated Graphics

The A12Z's Apple-designed graphics processor is an eight-core design, a 14% increase over the A12X's seven-core GPU.

Neural Engine

Continuing the 'Bionic' namesake, the A12Z features a neural engine similar if not identical to that on the A12X.

Utilizing devices

  • iPad Pro 11" (2nd gen)
  • iPad Pro 12.9" (4th gen)
  • Mac mini Developer Transition Kit
