General info
Supports 64-bit
✔Apple A16 Bionic
A 32-bit operating system can only support up to 4GB of RAM. 64-bit allows more than 4GB, giving increased performance. It also allows you to run 64-bit apps.
Has integrated graphics
✔Apple A16 Bionic
With integrated graphics you don’t need to buy a separate graphics card.
Small semiconductors provide better performance and reduced power consumption. Chipsets with a higher number of transistors, semiconductor components of electronic devices, offer more computational power. A small form factor allows more transistors to fit on a chip, therefore increasing its performance.
GPU clock speed
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
The graphics processing unit (GPU) has a higher clock speed.
DirectX version
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
DirectX is used in games, with newer versions supporting better graphics.
has 5G support
✔Apple A16 Bionic
The fifth-generation wireless technology delivers higher speeds and lower latency than the previous, fourth-generation tech.
GPU turbo
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
When the GPU is running below its limitations, it can boost to a higher clock speed in order to give increased performance.
OpenGL ES is used for games on mobile devices such as smartphones. Newer versions support better graphics.
OpenCL version
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
Some apps use OpenCL to apply the power of the graphics processing unit (GPU) for non-graphical computing. Newer versions introduce more functionality and better performance.
Performance
CPU speed
2 x 3.46GHz & 4 x 2.02GHz
The CPU speed indicates how many processing cycles per second can be executed by a CPU, considering all of its cores (processing units). It is calculated by adding the clock rates of each core or, in the case of multi-core processors employing different microarchitectures, of each group of cores.
More threads result in faster performance and better multitasking.
Uses big.LITTLE technology
✔Apple A16 Bionic
Using big.LITTLE technology, a chip can switch between two sets of processor cores to maximize performance and battery life. For example, when playing a game the more powerful cores will be used to increase performance, whereas checking email will use the less powerful cores to maximize battery life.
Uses HMP
✔Apple A16 Bionic
Heterogeneous Multi-Processing (HMP) is a more advanced version of big.LITTLE technology. In this setup, a processor can utilize all cores at the same time, or just a single core for low-intensity tasks. This can provide powerful performance or increased battery life respectively.
turbo clock speed
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
When the CPU is running below its limitations, it can boost to a higher clock speed in order to give increased performance.
L2 cache
24MB
A larger L2 cache results in faster CPU and system-wide performance.
L1 cache
256KB
A larger L1 cache results in faster CPU and system-wide performance.
clock multiplier
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
The clock multiplier controls the speed of the CPU.
L3 cache
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
A larger L3 cache results in faster CPU and system-wide performance.
Memory
RAM speed
6400MHz
It can support faster memory, which will give quicker system performance.
DDR (Double Data Rate) memory is the most common type of RAM. Newer versions of DDR memory support higher maximum speeds and are more energy-efficient.
The maximum amount of memory (RAM) supported.
maximum memory bandwidth
51.2GB/s
This is the maximum rate that data can be read from or stored into memory.
More memory channels increases the speed of data transfer between the memory and the CPU.
eMMC version
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
A higher version of eMMC allows faster memory interfaces, having a positive effect on the performance of a device. For example, when transferring files from your computer to the internal storage over USB.
Supports ECC memory
✖Apple A16 Bionic
Error-correcting code memory can detect and correct data corruption. It is used when is it essential to avoid corruption, such as scientific computing or when running a server.
Features
Has integrated LTE
✔Apple A16 Bionic
The system on a chip (SoC) has an integrated LTE cellular chip. LTE is capable of downloading at faster speeds than older, 3G technology.
download speed
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
The download speed is a measurement of the internet connection bandwidth, representing the maximum data transfer rate at which a device can access online content.
upload speed
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
The upload speed is a measurement of the internet connection bandwidth, representing the maximum data transfer rate at which a device can send information to a server or another device.
Has TrustZone
✔Apple A16 Bionic
A technology integrated into the processor to secure the device for use with features such as mobile payments and streaming video using digital rights management (DRM).
uses multithreading
✖Apple A16 Bionic
Multithreading technology (such as Intel's Hyperthreading or AMD's Simultaneous Multithreading) provides increased performance by splitting each of the processor's physical cores into virtual cores, also known as threads. This way, each core can run two instruction streams at once.
Has NX bit
✔Apple A16 Bionic
NX bit helps protect the computer from malicious attacks.
bits executed at a time
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
NEON provides acceleration for media processing, such as listening to MP3s.
Has AES
✔Apple A16 Bionic
AES is used to speed up encryption and decryption.
VFP version
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
Vector Floating-Point (VFP) is used by the processor to deliver increased performance in areas such as digital imaging.
