This is a non-stop. More and more powerful processors. If the A13 Bionic that mounts the new iPhone 11 Pro is already a brown beast, we already know that the A14 will soon enter production to be part of the company's next devices.
It is supposed to be carried by the next iPad Pro and the new iPhone of 2020. Today some data on its performance has been leaked and it seems that it is comparable to some MacBook Pro models. We'll see.
Apple is known for designing some chips with exceptional performance, such as the current A13 Bionic. It is the brain of the iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro, with exceptional performance. The next devices of 2020 will mount an even more powerful chip: the A14.
Jason Cross has published an article in Macworld, where he explains that the switch to 5nm manufacturing with the A14 will speed up the processor without suffering from it. Its performance will be very similar to the processor that mounts the current 15-inch MacBook Pro.
He comments in his article that the A13 was the fastest mobile processor that existed at the time of its launch, in the keynote last September. It was then 20% faster than its predecessor, the A12. Following this pattern, the A14 will be amazing.
With a single processor, he thinks it will hit 1.600 points on the Geekbench 5 scale. In performance multi-core, believes it will reach 5.000 points Geekbench 5.
Currently, Faster Android mobile multi-core processors are around 3.000 points on the same scale. A score of 5.000 would be similar to CPUs in 6-core desktops or high-end laptops like the 15-inch MacBook Pro.
If this A14 is as powerful as expected, could unseat Intel as CPU suppliers of the company's next notebooks.
