The Apple A13 Bionic features an Apple-designed 64-bit six-core CPU implementing
ARMv8.4-A called
Lightning and four energy-efficient cores called
Thunder. The Lightning cores feature
machine learning accelerators called AMX blocks. Apple claims the AMX blocks are six times faster at matrix multiplication than the
Apple A12's Vortex cores. The AMX blocks are capable of up to one trillion single-precision operations per second. The A13 integrates an Apple-designed four-core
graphics processing unit (GPU) with 20% faster graphics performance and 40% lower power consumption than the A12's. Apple claims their A13's eight-core Neural Engine
dedicated neural network hardware is 20% faster and consumes 15% less power than the A12's. It is manufactured by
TSMC on their 2nd generation
7 nm N7P (not to be confused with '7 nm+' or 'N7+'), and contains 8.5 billion
transistors. The A13 has video codec encoding support for
HEVC and
H.264. It has decoding support for HEVC, H.264,
MPEG‑4 Part 2, and
Motion JPEG. ==Products that include the Apple A13 Bionic==
