GPU
285023
Memory
118389
UX
131689
Total score
724625
Apple A14 Bionic shows the best AnTuTu 9 scores. We can see the big jump in GPU performance. The total performance of the GPU is 285023, which is faster than the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865. The CPU also shows one of the best scores. It is 185695 which is also faster than the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865. The memory scores also show a significant boost. Apple A14 Bionic memory is faster than Apple A13 Bionic, Apple A13x. The memory scores are 118389. The Ux is also showing one of the best performances. It is 131689 which is faster than Apple A13 Bionic, Apple A13x. Total scores are above 724625. The total scores of this chipset will depend on which smartphone is using this chipset with which type of ram. Apple A14 Bionic is considerably gaining a performance boost and beating last-gen Apple A13 Bionic processor in the iPhone category. This processor can be seen in iPhone 12 Series. In the Flagship segment, it’s the best processor for gaming, camera, battery, display, and for everything.
Geekbench 5:
Single-Core Score
1607
Multi-Core Score
4115
The single-core scores show the best performance in this smartphone mid-range category lineup. The single cores scores are 1607. And the multi-core scores are 4115 which is also beating every chipset in the multi-core performance in this range. iPhone is known for its CPU performance. Even it’s an old chipset but it’s still fast enough to beat some of the latest chipsets.

Apple A14 Bionic lunched with the two big cores of Firestorm which are ultra-high performance cores that are clocked on 3.1GHz. The other 4 cores are based on Icestorm which is power efficiency cores. The Firestorm also has the best speeds and good set instruction architecture. There are total of 6 cores with a boost clock of 3.1GHz. Apple A14 Bionic has the latest set instruction architecture. It is considerably fast and strong enough to beat some of the latest and powerful Chipsets. Apple A14 Bionic is fabricated on 5Nm. This means Apple A14 Bionic will be power efficient and will consume less battery and will produce less heat. It is fast with the big two Firestorms. It is also L2 cache is also 8MB which is a lot faster than the other processor in the market right now. The TDP is 6Watts which means the processor will be best with the battery management. In this Apple A14 Bionic, the CPU performance is very fast and very efficient. There is 11.8 Billion transistor in this Apple A14 Bionic which is more than enough for a mobile chipset. This processor has incredible speeds and good optimization.
Graphics:
PU name
Apple GPU
Execution units
4
Apple GPU is the new architecture that they are using in the Apple A14 Bionic. The GPU is also manufactured using the 5nm technology. Which means it will also be power efficient. The name of the GPU is Apple Custom GPU. This is the fastest GPU in this lineup. The Apple A14 Bionic is fast enough to handle games like FREE FIRE, PUBG MOBILE. The GPU score is faster than the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 which means there will be a smooth gaming experience on this chipset.
Memory:
Memory type

Video playback
4K at 60FPS
Apple A14 Bionic uses its own Neural Engine which is fast with AI calculations and can be used to accelerate video analysis, voice recognition, and image processing. Apple A14 Bionic uses the NVMe which is fast. This gives you fast read and writes speeds.
Apple A14 Bionic have the maximum display support of QuadHD+ and can support the 60Hz refresh rate with the Super Amoled. The video capture is kept on 4k at 60FPS and the video playback is also 4k at 60FPS. There is no 8k support on this Apple A14 Bionic. It is a bit of shame to see there is no 8k support on a 2021 Flagship processor.
Connectivity:
5G support
Yes
Wi-Fi
6
Bluetooth
5.0
Apple A14 Bionic has 5G support. The Apple A14 Bionic also comes with the Wi-Fi 6 and the Bluetooth version of 5.0. This will give you better signals and better speeds. Apple A14 Bionic uses the Snapdragon X60 modem. Which is not fast as the X65 but it gives you good speeds.
Phones with A14 Bionic:
