Apple A16 Bionic
A refined A15 on TSMC's N4P node: higher clocks, faster memory and a new display engine for the iPhone 14 Pro's always-on screen. Conservative by Apple standards, yet its single-core grunt outlasted two generations of Android flagships.
Pros
- Best single-core CPU of 2022
- Efficient TSMC N4P process
- Powerful ISP for 48MP ProRAW photography
- Dedicated display engine for always-on screens
Cons
- GPU barely improved over A15
