The first results of benchmark testing of the Apple A14 Bionic chipset have reached the Internet. The testing took place in the Geekbench 5 application and, among other things, revealed the possible frequency of the Apple A14. It could be the first ARM processor to exceed 3 GHz.

The current iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro models use the Apple A13 Bionic chipset, which runs at a frequency of 2,7 GHz. For the upcoming chipset, the frequency should increase by 400 MHz to 3,1 GHz. In the Geekbench 5 test, the Single Core scored 1658 (about 25 percent more than the A13) and the Multi Core scored 4612 points (about 33 percent more than the A13). For comparison, the latest Samsung Exynos 990 chipset scores around 900 in Single Core and 2797 in Multi Core. Qualcomm's Snapdragon 865 scores around 5 in Single Core and 900 in Multi Core in Geekbench 3300.

Apple's upcoming chipset even outperformed the A12X found in the iPad Pro. And if Apple can get such high performance from a "phone" chipset, it's not at all surprising that Apple is planning an ARM-based Mac. The Apple A14x could thus be somewhere completely different in terms of performance than what we are used to with ARM processors. The advantage will certainly be that the Apple A14 will be manufactured using a 5nm process, which will provide a higher density of transistors and also less energy consumption.
