How the A12 Bionic chip will give any Android smartphone a run for its money


The A12 bionic chip is crowned as one of the smartest and the most powerful chip ever in a Smartphone. It has the next generation neural engine which has helped in using machine learning in everything from improved photography to realism. There are 6.9 billion transistors present inside the A12 bionic chip and is the first chip which has such a diminutive size equal to 7-nanometer. There are six core CPU which is composed of four efficiency cores and two performance cores inside an A12 bionic chip. In comparison with an A11 bionic chip the two performance cores of the A12 bionic chip have a higher efficiency rate by 12 percent and 40 percent and also have 50 percent less power consumption rate. A12 bionic chip is proficient in doing five trillion functions per second because it contains eight-core Neural Engine which is way more than any other chipset made so far.


Some features of the A12 chip


  • The most modern smartphones (iPhone XS, XS Max, XR) using A12 bionic chip have extremely speedy performance than any other Android smartphone made so far. The chip has augmented the speed of the smartphone to a great extent. This is been accomplished because it is the first smallest 7 nm chip. The chips which are diminutive in size respond quickly to instructions, as the distance to which the electrons have to travel to pass the commands is very less. This is one of the reasons why the A12 bionic chip is capable of performing a trillion operations per second.
  • The chip has totally revolutionized photography and you can take professional photographs with your iPhone now. A12 bionic chip comes with outstanding features such as setting white balance, exposure, reduces noise, highlights details, and face and body recognition to capture perfect images. You don’t have to fiddle with any feature for capturing the picture it is done automatically. The chip also contains advanced AI. Using this feature it will perform complex calculations which will help you capture the perfect shot. You will not be able to get such a great photography experience in other android smartphones.
  • A12 bionic chip will give you a bona fide experience of playing games as it provides a real-time lightning effect and an unparalleled user experience. Playing games on the newer iPhones will make you feel you are playing it in the real time. The graphics allow you to experience a 40 percent faster gaming environment. You will not get such a realistic playing experience in any other Android Smartphone.
  • It allows developers to put AI capability into their apps because it increases on tap performance for developers, as Machine Learning structure runs more rapidly on A12 Bionic chip smartphones. This can’t be achieved with another Android Smartphone.
  • The computing system of the A12 bionic chip is very advanced.  It automatically decides that which chipset unit GPU, CPU or Neural Engine will be preeminent to execute a task /operation/command and accordingly assigns the task. When there is a need it also assigns an extra task to boost the power.
  • It delivers augmented performance using minimal energy which saves a lot of battery consumption and augments the battery life which is not possible in other Android smartphones.


This make the A12 Bionic chip one of the best chipsets made so far. Technology is growing day by day and this is what best we can expect every day. The more the technology becomes advanced the more we are going to get the benefit. The chip and Apple's innovation year-on-year proves that there are no barricades for the improvement in technology.
