This year is the Apple iPhone, in S, iPhone XS series and iPhone XR series phones in appearance and function design continues the iPhone X, and did not bring more change and innovation, but also did not say, iPhone new machine No change, at least on the market of the processor has been innovated.
This year's three new iPhone models all use the A12 bionic processor, which is the only SoC on the market with 7nm process technology. Compared with the 10nm A11, the CPU is a six-core design, and two of the performance cores are 15% faster. , reducing power consumption by 40%, and reducing energy consumption of four energy-efficient cores by up to 50%. From the current running data and actual performance, it still leads all SoCs in the market in performance.
A12 Bionic
The foreign market research organization IHS estimated the cost of the A12 bionic processor. After investigation and research, it was found that this A12 processor is 9% more expensive than A11, the cost price is 30 US dollars, about 206 yuan, and the cost of A11 is 27.5. The US dollar is about RMB 189. In addition, IHS also pointed out in the analysis report that the A12 bionic processor accounts for about 7.69% of the total material cost of the 64GB version of iPhone XS Max.
However, the author believes that although the A12 bionic processor is not high in material cost, but the CPU research and development costs, patent fees, etc., the cost of the A12 bionic processor is still very high.
