Apple has really started investing in and pushing for their arcade subscription.
The A12 Bionic should be a lot faster which is a major point if you want to use those features.
- LASR 6y agoA10X vs A12 - This makes me feel meh about the whole 3+ year upgrade. I was hoping for something at least like a A12X or A14. The difference in perf is not sufficient to warrant an upgrade IMO.
- Hamuko 6y agoHow much faster? I want to upgrade my 4K because of the performance.
- jclardy 6y agoTo be honest I don't think it will really be that noticeable. It will be faster, but only slightly. The original 4k had an A10X, the new one has an A12. The A10X was the A10 with beefed up GPU, so on that front they are probably pretty close. The A12 will probably win out on general processing tasks.
- Hamuko 6y agoI imagine most of the beef that I need is on the CPU department.
- hajile 6y agoI thought the "Bionic" referred only to the a12x or a12z variants. It makes sense as a place to put their unused stock left over from their old ipad lineup and as a way to get those "console" graphics.
- rsynnott 6y agoIt should probably be a decent improvement. Here's an A12 (iPhone XS) vs plain ol' A10 (iPhone 7): https://www.anandtech.com/show/13392/the-iphone-xs-xs-max-review-unveiling-the-silicon-secrets/7 https://www.anandtech.com/show/13392/the-iphone-xs-xs-max-re... Now, the A10X had a doubled-up GPU, but even taking that into account it still looks like a fairly big gap on the more demanding tests.
