7 Reasons Why Apple A12 Bionic Chip has an Edge Over Predecessor

Apple’s latest A12 Bionic chip is the biggest jump over its predecessor A11. How? Here’re some valid reasons why the new A series chip is called refining in terms of performance, speed, efficiency, etc., and how it will impact the iOS app development.

Apart from launch of three new iPhones — iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max and iPhone XR, the major highlight of Apple’s September 12, 2018 was none other than its next generation A12 Bionic chip. The 7nm new chip is quite smaller than A11 that is 10nm.

The new chip is widely referred as performance booster and has an edge over its predecessor A11 launched in the last year. A12 Bionic is expected to have a significant impact on iOS app development too.

Now, iOS developers will be able to make more performance-packed and faster app to give users more refining experience. The iOS app will be more focused towards battery efficiency, graphics, AR experience, security and much more.

Apple launched every A series chip with major enhancements in terms of performance to let iPhone lovers engage with smooth and unique experience. The latest A series chip is not an exception — it is also capable of tantalizing the sense of iPhone users for many reasons.

Enhanced Speed and Performance

Apple majorly focuses on speed and performance when launching a new chip in the market. The new A12 chip is called a big boost over A11 equipped with 2 performance cores, which make it 15% more faster than A11.

These two performance cores are capable of taking even heavy computational task smoothly. The new chip is also packed-in with 4 efficiency cores that are able to take day-to-day tasks. In case of heavy load, the tasks are divided across these six cores by performance controller to manage swiftly. The new chip ensures device runs smoothly.

Power Efficient

Though A12 is small in size, it’s big in battery efficiency. With 4 efficiency cores, the new A12 chip in fact consumes 50% less power than A11 even while focusing on an enhanced graphic performance. The chip is capable of running device smoothly for a long time even with a small battery while delivering the same kind of experience to users.

When you compare iPhone X (2,716 mAh) with iPhone 7 Plus (2900 mAh), you will get the same performance in terms of talk time, internet usage and video PlayBack.

Enhanced Graphics

Apple’s A12 chip is blessed with a new fourth core and lossless memory compression that boosts the graphic performance and also makes it 50% faster than A11. It makes users delighted while playing games, watching videos, accessing visually refined apps, etc.

Camera with Enhanced ISP

With A11 chip, we witnessed certain major camera improvements such as noise reduction, studio lighting effects, perfect portrait process and lots more. A12, on the other hand, is blessed with vast camera improvements to enhance user experience. These improvements are slow motion video recording, faster HEIF and HEVC encoding and lots more.

The enhanced ISP is efficient to process even more data right from the camera sensor, which is able to give users a perfect dynamic range with motion, freezing, noise reduction, etc. With perfect HDR, users will be able to observe a perfect dynamic range in their images.

Neural Engine with 8 Core Architecture

Apple launched Neural Engine with A11 as well. It’s extra advanced and smart to work smoothly and delivers amazing performances. With 5 trillion per second operations, the engine is quick and able to make some important predictions, recognize patterns and lots more with a greater efficiency. It is able to give users a perfect AR experience when searching for images and various other activities.

Apple has delighted app developers by allowing Neural Engine up to core ML platform. They aim to allow app developers to leverage the technology to build some powerful apps integrated with real-time machine learning experience. Its core ML is able to run approximately 9x faster compared to A11 Bionic.

Enhanced Security with Advanced Face ID

Your face is password with the latest new iPhones endowed with A12 chip that makes it much more advanced compared to the older version chip. Neural Engine and TrueDepth camera work together to recognize your face to unlock the device. These can recognize the genuine users even if they wear hat, glasses, etc.

Expressive Memoji

The latest A12 with TrueDepth camera can easily track more than 50 facial muscles and helps users create memoji just like them in terms of face, reactions and more. These are enough to excite iPhone users.

Conclusion: -

Apple launched A12 with some major advancements compared to previous A series chip. With the latest chip, iOS app developers will be able to serve customers with world-class app harnessing its full potentials. They can get a flexibility to bring real-time machine learning experience with use of core ML platform.
