Apple A13 chip exposed: 7-core design performance exceeds laptop AI capabilities and doubles

Every September, Apple releases a new generation of iPhone. As a flagship phone, the performance of previous generations of iPhone has almost always been at the top level. The annually updated A series chips, combined with the new iOS system, maximize the performance of the iPhone. This fall, Apple is about to release a new iPhone equipped with the A13 chip. Now, as the release date approaches, the performance of Apple A13 has begun to attract attention.

Apple A13 chip

　　It is understood that the Apple A13 chip that will be available to us this year is still at the flagship level. The chip is exclusively manufactured by TSMC and uses TSMC's 7nm extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUV) process. The number of transistors is almost the same as the A12X Bionic on the iPad Pro. However, in terms of the number of cores, the Apple A13 chip may change, from two performance cores + four energy-efficient cores in the A12 Bionic to three performance cores + four energy-efficient cores, and its performance may even surpass some laptops.

The chip may be named A13 Bionic

　　It is worth mentioning that Apple's A13 chip will also significantly improve AI performance. The new neural network engine will increase the AI ​​performance of Apple's A13 chip by three to five times compared to the A12 Bionic. With powerful computing power, we can get excellent photo effects, and at the same time bring more new features with excellent user experience to the Siri voice assistant.
