6-core CPU 4-core GPU and a lot of AI

Apple’s A12 Bionic is the name of the most important chip inside the iPhone Xs and Xs Max and Xr detailed here. Make no mistake, this is the first to ship 7nm but not the first to sample or be announced, it is actually the third. As believers in the Apple religion don’t care about features unless they have it in their beloved iPhones, they don’t care about the rest of the world.

This is the first 7nm with 64bit with custom Apple cores using Fusion architecture. In the real world that means big little. They have two big cores and four small ones, something we’ve seen on many ARM based designs. Yes, Apple uses ARM there is no alternative to that.

The A12 Bionic SoC has 6.9 billion transistors which is identical to the recently announced Huawei 980 7nm product.
