Apple's latest A19 Pro chips have once again refreshed the market's imagination of mobile phone processors. Although it still maintains a 6-core architecture, composed of two high-performance cores and four efficiency cores, the biggest highlight this year is not the performance core, but the efficiency core that is regarded as a "low-power" efficiency core. The latest test shows that the overall efficiency of these four efficiency cores has increased by 29% and floating point efficiency by 22%, which is a great surprise for chip engineering this year.
The test results show that the core efficiency of the A19 Pro has been improved to 2.60GHz, which is slightly better than the 2.42GHz of the A18 Pro. However, the real key is architecture adjustment. After in-depth disassembly of China's technology media, it pointed out that Apple increased the front-end decoding unit from 5 to 6 width, the calculation logic unit (ALU) from 3 to 4, and combined the integer and floating point registers into a single unit, further reducing delay and improving communication efficiency.
What is even more amazing is that these improvements do not bring additional power consumption. By changing the number of commands per time (IPC), the A19 Pro's overall performance is 21%, and the floating point performance is 14%, almost using a "magic" way to achieve a balance between performance and energy consumption.
In fact, as early as the Geekbench 6 test, the A19 Pro has shown that single-core and multi-core performance leads the global flagship chip, while maintaining lower power consumption. Nowadays, the evolution of efficiency cores shows that Apple's layout in chip engineering has embarked on a different path than its opponents' "relying on the core to achieve success."
Sentence changes say that while rivals are still increasing the number of cores to increase efficiency, Apple has used a more intelligent architecture to make the "small cores" amazing. This not only once again strengthens the leading position of A-series chips, but also means that iPhones will be more competitive in the future in terms of sustained flight and performance balance.
