Apple showcased one of the key component of iPhone 12 at Watch and iPad event

The all-new iPad Air runs on A14 Bionic processor, the same processor that will most likely power Apple's iPhone 12 series. Apple's latest-generation processor A14 Bionic is a 5nm (nanometer) chipset. It is the world's first chipset to be built on 5 nanometer process technology.

While there's lot of speculation about Apple's upcoming iPhone 12 series, the company may have just revealed the brain that will power the upcoming smartphone series -- A14 Bionic processor. The all-new iPad Air runs on A14 Bionic processor, the same processor that will most likely power Apple's iPhone 12 series. Apple's latest-generation processor A14 Bionic is a 5nm (nanometer) chipset.
It is the world's first chipset to be built on 5 nanometer process technology.
For comparison, the most-powerful processor that powers Android smartphones is Qualcomm 865+ that is built on 7nm technology. For those unaware, CPUs or processors are made using billions of small transistors that switch on and off to perform calculations. The smaller the transistor, the less power is required to run it. This means a 5nm chipset is likely to be more power efficient than a 7nm chipset.
"iPad Air delivers a massive boost in performance with Apple’s most advanced chip, A14 Bionic. Handling even the most demanding apps, A14 Bionic makes it even easier for users to edit 4K videos, create gorgeous works of art, play immersive games, and more," said Apple in its release on iPad Air.
A14 Bionic is said to be packed with 11.8 billion transistors for increased performance and power efficiency in nearly every part of the chip. As per Apple, "This latest-generation A-series chip features a new 6-core design for a 40 percent boost in CPU performance, and a new 4-core graphics architecture for a 30 percent improvement in graphics. A14 Bionic includes a new 16-core Neural Engine that is twice as fast, and capable of performing up to 11 trillion operations per second, taking machine learning apps to a whole new level. A14 Bionic also includes second-generation machine learning accelerators in the CPU for 10 times faster machine learning calculations. This combination of the new Neural Engine, CPU machine learning accelerators, and high-performance GPU enables powerful on-device experiences for image recognition, natural language learning, analysing motion, and more."
As for what this will mean for iPhone 12 series buyers: Better performance and battery life. The A14 chipset is sure to give a performance boost as well as help deliver improved battery life.
In another first, Apple has also rolled out its next-generation mobile operating system the iOS 14. This is the same OS that iPhone 12 series devices will come with out of the box. So far, Apple has always released new iOS with new iPhones every year.
