A14 Bionic is a 64-bit hexa-core ARM high-performance mobile system on a chip introduced by Apple in September 2020 as a successor to the A13.
Overview
Fabricated on TSMCs new N5 EUV process, the A14 integrates 11.8 billion transistors to feature two big cores called "Firestorm" operating at up to 3.10 GHz and four little high-efficiency cores called "Icestorm" operating at up to 1.80 GHz.
Apple claims a performance gain of better speed and lower power consumption than its predecessor A13.
ISP
Neural Engine
The A14 Bionic is equipped with next-generation 16-core specialized machine learning processor called "Neural Engine". Apple claims that the A14's Neural Engine delivers 11 trillion operations per second, 80% more than its predecessor A13.
