The Apple A12Z Bionic is a Flagship ARM-based Apple custom design, 64-Bit Mobile Processor(SoC), launched on March 03, 2020. Apple A12Z Bionic Specification includes a powerful Octa-core CPU, built-in 7-nm process technology, and balances between 4 high-performance cores called Vortex running at 2.5 GHz and 4 power-efficient cores called Tempest running at 1.6 GHz (4×2.5 GHz Vortex + 4×1.6 GHz Tempest).
It contains 10 billion transistors and an 8-core Neural Engine. It supports 2133 MHz LPDDR4X RAM (dual-channel) up to 16GB. In addition to the octa-core CPU, the SoC comes with an integrated Apple Custom 8‑core GPU.
The SoC also comes with an Apple modem ( only Wi‑Fi + Cellular Model) and Apple wireless system that supports Wi-Fi 4, Wi-Fi 6, Wi-Fi 5, and Bluetooth 5.0.
The A12Z Bionic benchmark scores are impressive in various tests. The Apple A12Z Bionic Antutu Score is 827662. In A12Z Bionic Geekbench, (a benchmark that measures CPU performance) the score for Single-Core is 1121 and the Multi-Core score is 4710.
