Apple A12 Bionic Specification

The Apple A12 Bionic is a Flagship ARM-based Apple custom design, 64-Bit Mobile Processor(SoC), launched on September 12, 2018. Apple A12 Bionic Specification includes a powerful Hexa-core CPU, built-in 7-nm process technology, balances between 2 high-performance cores called Vortex running at 2.49 GHz and 4 power-efficient cores called Tempest running at 1.6 GHz (2x 2.49 GHz – Vortex and 4x 1.6 GHz – Tempest).

It contains 6.9 billion transistors and an 8-core Neural Engine, that can perform 5 trillion operations per second (TOPS). It supports 2133 MHz LPDDR4X RAM (dual-channel) up to 12 GB. In addition to the Hexa-core CPU, the SoC comes with an integrated Apple Custom 4‑core GPU.

The SoC also comes with an Apple modem ( GSM / CDMA / HSPA / EVDO / LTE) and Apple wireless system that supports Wi-Fi 4, Wi-Fi 5, and Bluetooth 5.0.

Apple A12 Bionic Benchmark

The A12 Bionic benchmark scores are impressive in various tests. The Apple A12 Bionic Antutu Score is 529572. In A12 Bionic Geekbench, (a benchmark that measures CPU performance) the score for Single-Core is 1125 and the Multi-Core score is 2935.
