The latest chip daily news of electronic components industry

According to the report of Hong Kong Telecom on September 15, Apple (AAPL. O) recently applied for the registration of several trademarks such as "Smart Island" and "Dynamic Island", as well as "Optical Image Engine", "Action Mode" and "A16 Bionic". The classification includes scientific instruments and website services. At present, the trademark status is under application. These trademarks are the new features of the iPhone 14 series launched by Apple, including A16 bionic chip, super anti-jitter video mode, optical image engine, etc.

The GPU and neural engine core of A16 Bionic are exactly the same as that of A15 Bionic last year. Due to the improvement of TSMC N4 (the third generation 5nm, with a density increase of about 6%) technology, the CPU finally achieved "nearly 16 billion transistors", slightly higher than 15 billion A15.

The power consumption of A16 large core (2 large and 4 small) is reduced by about 20%. Most people think that the performance improvement of A16 is very limited, and there is not much change in this field.
