The Apple A12X Bionic is a Flagship ARM-based Apple custom design, 64-Bit Mobile Processor(SoC), launched on October 30, 2018. Apple A12X Bionic Specification includes a powerful Octa-core CPU, built-in 7-nm process technology, and balances between 4 high-performance cores called Vortex running at 2.5 GHz and 4 power-efficient cores called Tempest running at 1.59 GHz (4x 2.5 GHz – Vortex and 4x 1.59 GHz – Tempest).
It contains 10 billion transistors and an 8-core Neural Engine. It supports 2133 MHz LPDDR4X RAM (dual-channel) up to 12GB. In addition to the octa-core CPU, the SoC comes with an integrated Apple Custom 7‑core GPU.
The SoC also comes with an Apple modem ( only Wi‑Fi + Cellular Model) and Apple wireless system that supports Wi-Fi 4, Wi-Fi 5, and Bluetooth 5.0.
The A12X Bionic benchmark scores are impressive in various tests. The Apple A12X Bionic Antutu Score is 806531. In A12X Bionic Geekbench, (a benchmark that measures CPU performance) the score for Single-Core is 1117 and the Multi-Core score is 4630.
