A13 Bionic is a 64-bit hexa-core ARM high-performance mobile system on a chip introduced by Apple in September 2019 as a successor to the A12.

Overview

Fabricated on TSMCs enhanced N7P process (not to be confused with the N7+ (EUV) process), the A13 is integrating 8.5 billion transistors and features two big Lightning cores operating at up to 2.65 GHz and four little Thunder high-efficiency cores operating at up to 1.80 GHz.

Apple claims a performance gain of 20% speed and 30% lower power consumption than its predecessor A12.

Neural Engine

Like its predecessor, the A13 Bionic is equipped with a specialized machine learning processor called the "Neural Engine". Apple claims the A13's Neural Engine is 20% faster while consuming 15% less power than its predecessor.
