Apple A14

The Apple A14 Bionic is a  system on a chip (SoC), designed by Apple Inc. It appears in the fourth generation iPad Air, and is expected to appear in the iPhone 12. Apple states that the CPU performs up to 40% faster than the A12, while the GPU is up to 30% faster than the A12. It also includes a 16-core neural engine and new machine learning matrix accelerators that performs twice and ten times as fast, respectively.

Design
The Apple A14 Bionic features an Apple-designed 64-bit six-core CPU implementing, with two high-performance cores called Firestorm and four energy-efficient cores called Icestorm.

The A14 integrates an Apple-designed four-core graphics processing unit (GPU) with 30% faster graphics performance than the A12. The A14 includes that Apple calls a new 16-core Neural Engine. The Neural Engine can perform 11 trillion operations per second. In addition to the separate Neural Engine, the A14 includes second-generation machine learning matrix accelerators in the CPU.

It is manufactured by TSMC on their first generation fabrication process, meaning that the A14 is the first commercially available product manufactured at 5 nm. The transistor count has increased to 11.8 billion.
