Apple's new mobile chips bring solid performance improvements with each generation, and the A14 Bionic seems to be no exception. In fact, the iPhone 12 should once again be the fastest phone on the planet.

The chip, which will be featured in the iPhone 12 as well as the new iPad Air 2020, debuted in a benchmark published on Twitter by prominent leaker Ice Universe.

Twitter cropping cuts out important information, but if you zoom in on the image, you can see that this test was done on the iPad's Geekbench 5. The numbers are important: the single-core score is 1,583 and the multi-core result is 4,198.

Incidentally, the iPhone 11 Pro scored 1,337 in the single-core portion and 3,509 in the multi-core portion. This means that the iPhone 12 could be 18% faster on single-core and nearly 20% faster on multi-core.

Assuming the iPhone 12 performs as well as the new iPad Air, it will blow away all Android phones. The Galaxy Note 20 Ultra with the latest Snapdragon 865 Plus chip scored 985 and 3,294 points on Geekbench 5. This would make the A14 Bionic 60% faster in single-core tests and 27% faster in multi-core. [Compared to the current iPad Air, the A14 Bionic results are even more impressive and seem to confirm Apple's hype at the launch that the new iPad will be 40% faster than the old iPad. a search in the Geekbench browser shows that the 3rd generation iPad Air's single core score is about 1,115 and the multi-core score is in the 2,800 range.

Of course, Geekbench 5 is only one measure of performance, but it is a good indicator that the A14 Bionic is a very powerful chip.

The full iPad Air 4 has already been revealed and will be available at the end of the month starting at $599, but the full review is not yet available.

Along with the A14 chip, the iPhone 12 family will be the first Apple devices to benefit from 5G connectivity, and one or both of the "Pro" versions will inherit the LiDAR sensor from the top-of-the-line iPad Pro tablet for better camera and AR performance The company is rumored to be in the market. Rumor has it that the Pro model will also get a 120Hz display update, but other sources say that will not happen this year.

As for pricing, leaked information over the past week indicates that the basic 64GB iPhone 12 (now called the iPhone 12 mini) will cost $649, $50 less than the current iPhone 11. Obviously, the Pro model will be more expensive, starting at $999 for the 128GB model and going up to $1399 for the 512GB iPhone 12 Pro Max.
