Apple shows its new a12x bionic chip with 90% more performance

With the iPhone launch in September, Apple made a huge leap in mobile processing. The company had become one of the first to implement a 7nm processor in the industry. This chip, the Apple A12, contained 7 billion transistors, a six-core processor, and a new eight-core neural engine. Now, at the launch of iPad Pro, Apple has announced the A12X Bionic, which far surpasses its predecessor.

A12X Bionic with 90% more performance than its predecessor

The Apple A12X features 10 billion transistors, an eight-core processor, and multi-core performance that is 90% faster than its predecessor.

As expected, Apple has made major changes to the A12X chip, compared to the original A12. The chip has 3 billion more transistors than its little brother, bringing the number of transistors up to 10 billion. In addition to this increase, Apple has also added two more cores in the A12X Bionic, bringing the total number of cores to eight.

Apple's A12X Bionic to debut on new Pro iPads

Apple's A12X Bionic chip will debut on the new iPads Pro. Apple has been very confident with this new chip, ensuring the iPad Pro is faster than 92% of notebook computers, including any Intel Core i7 processor.

In addition to the overall performance boost, Apple has included a neural engine on an iPad for the first time, making it ready for Core ML tasks. The A12X also supports USB Type-C, so the iPad Pro won't use a Lightning connector. In addition, it enables the necessary reflections and tracking for augmented reality applications.

The new iPad Pros come in 11 and 12.9-inch sizes with minimal bezels, FaceID, and no home button. It will launch on November 7, starting at $ 799 for the 11-inch model and $ 999 for the 12.9-inch model.
