Apple has launched the new generation iPhone 14 series. The iPhone 14 Pro with a hole-punch screen has become the focus of attention, and it is equipped with the new A16 Bionic processor. It is officially known as the strongest chip of iPhone in history. However, the basic models of iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus still use the previous generation A15 Bionic processor.
Speaking of processors, what everyone cares most is performance, "If you don't accept it, you will run a point"! Apple has been firmly in the forefront of mobile processors for many years. How is the performance of the A16 this time? In Geekbench's running score database, a running score of a device called "iPhone15,3" appears, and the code corresponds to the iPhone 14 Pro. The running score shows that single core points are 1879 points and multi-core 4664 points. Compared with last year's iPhone 13 Pro, the average single-core running score was about 1,700 points and multi-core running score was about 4,800 points. According to this score, the performance of A16 has only slightly improved, with a single core improvement of about 10%, and the score of multi-core does not increase but decreases (it should not be real data). After the first run score was leaked, the latest run score appeared in Geekbench. The result was 1887 points for single core and 5455 points for multi-core. Compared with previous results, single core has not changed much, and multi-core has greatly improved, and the multi-core score has increased by about 14% compared with the previous generation A15. This may be the real strength of Apple A16. The latest , Qualcomm , "Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1" and MediaTek "Dimensity 9000+" are beyond the reach. Especially for single-core running scores, the two are only about 70% of that of A16.
According to Apple's promotion, the A16 Bionic processor is equipped with nearly 16 billion transistors, has 6-core CPUs and 5-core GPUs, and the computing power of the neural network engine is close to 17 trillion times per second to analyze pixel by pixel and optimize photos. video memory bandwidth increases by 50%. It is competent for the new generation of mobile games and complex graphics processing tasks. Advanced image signal processors drive four-in-one pixel sensors to bring broad creative space. High energy efficiency performance allows the A16 bionic chip to last for a long time and maintain rapid operation. .
However, A16 is still TSMC's 5nm process. Fortunately, the process has been improved, so the power consumption performance should be better. Although the iPhone 14 and 14 Plus are still A15 processors, in fact, Apple's chip is well known. Even if it is just A15 chip, its performance is still better than most Android flagships.
Also worth noting is that the iPhone 14 Pro series has been replaced with a hole-punch screen. Although the starting price of 7999 and 8999 in China is still in China, Apple has increased the maintenance cost of the Pro model. Apple fans all know that if the iPhone screen is accidentally broken, the repair fee for replacing the screen will be quite high without AppleCare+ or other mobile phone insurance. With the launch of the iPhone 14 series, Apple has also officially updated the original repair price list, breaking the record of the most expensive screen repair in iPhone history.
The price of replacing screens of four models of iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max is 2298 yuan, 2698 yuan, 2698 yuan, and 3198 yuan respectively. Last year, the price of replacing the screen of iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Pro, and iPhone 13 Pro Max was 1798 yuan, 2298 yuan, 2298 yuan, and 2698 yuan respectively. The iPhone 14 Pro screen replacement is 400 yuan higher than the iPhone 13 Pro, while the iPhone 14 Pro Max screen replacement is 500 yuan higher than the iPhone 13 Pro Max. Users who "hand slide" must use a "protective case" or buy an AppleCare+, so that the screen replacement of four models is only 188 yuan.
