A13 Bionic Processor iPhone 11 Pro

An updated, next-generation A13 Bionic chip powers the iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max. The A13 Bionic is faster and more efficient than the A12 Bionic chip in the previous-generation iPhones, and according to Apple, it is the fastest chip ever used in a smartphone.

The two performance cores in the A13's CPU are up to 20 percent faster and use 30 percent less power than the A12, and the four efficiency cores are up to 20 percent faster and use up to 40 percent less power.

The GPU in the A13 is 20 percent faster than the GPU in the A12 and it uses 40 percent less power.

According to testing by AnandTech, the A13 in the iPhone 11 and 11 Pro offers 50 to 60 percent higher sustained graphics performance than the iPhone XS and 20 percent faster CPU performance.

NEURAL ENGINE

The A13 chip features a next-generation 8-core Neural Engine that Apple says is faster than ever for real-time photo and video analysis. A pair of Machine Learning Accelerators allow the CPU to run up to six times faster, delivering more than 1 trillion operations per second.

The Neural Engine is up to 20 percent faster and uses up to 15 percent less power than the previous-generation Neural Engine. Apple says its Neural Engine powers the camera system, Face ID, AR apps, and more.

Core ML 3 for developers allows apps to leverage the power of the A13 Bionic for apps and games.

RAM AND STORAGE SPACE

The iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max appear to have 4GB of RAM that's available to apps and the iOS system, but it is unclear if there is extra RAM that's dedicated to the camera as rumors have been mixed. We'll need to wait for more information to determine just what's inside.

Leaked benchmarks have indicated that there's 4GB RAM in the two devices, but benchmarks are able to be faked. A leak from a Chinese source has said there's 6GB, but it won't be long before we know for sure.

As for storage space, the iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max are available in 64, 256, and 512GB capacities.
