In conjunction with the launch of the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max devices, Apple also introduced the latest processing chip used specifically for these devices, the Apple A16 Bionic.
As expected, this processing chip is developed using the 4nm process by TSMC, making Apple one of their earliest customers to have produced a processing chip using this process.
It comes with 16 billion transistors and comes with six physical cores built into this SoC, including two high-performance cores and four high-efficiency cores that use Apple's leading neural network technology to move the device's tasks depending on the application's needs.
Apple says that the A16 Bionic processing chip is capable of performing 17 trillion operations per second, and performs 40 percent better than competing processing chips launched this year. In fact, they say that these latest chips are still competing with the A13 Bionic processing chip that was launched together with the iPhone 11 device.
In the meantime, this processing chip also houses functions such as the Display Engine that allows this device to come with Always-On Display capabilities and a 1Hz refresh rate to allow this device to come with a screen display that is not only always active, but uses a very low amount of power .
