Although Apple uses the same number of performance and efficiency cores in the latest and most powerful A16 Bionic, has greater advantages in core thanks to architectural optimization. In the iPhone product line, Apple uses 2 high-performance cores and 4 efficiency cores.
Due to the larger size of the iPad, they can accommodate larger radiators, effectively dissipating heat, thus maintaining better temperature checks. With the iPhone14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max equipped with A16 Bionic, Apple has no room for luxury.
Based on the clues currently available, the main advantages of improving the iPhone chipset are: A16 Bionic In addition to using TSMC's 4nm architecture, another point that helps achieve Apple's "power efficiency" goal is the use of an upgraded kernel. According to Longhorn on Twitter, the chipset itself is codenamed Crete, while the performance core is named Everest and the efficiency core is named Sawtooth.
A15 Bionic has a kernel called Avalanche and Blizzard, and in addition to the naming differences, the performance kernel last year could reach 3.23GHz, and so on under optimization conditions. The Everest core of the A16 Bionic runs up to 3.46GHz, which naturally translates to better performance, as previous benchmarks show that Apple's latest SoC beats the A15 Bionic with an unparalleled single-core score, with 14% improvement in multi-core performance. .
We don't know what GPU kernels Apple uses. In our short comparison, we report that both the A16 Bionic and A15 Bionic have the same number of GPUs and neural engine cores
