A15 Bionic — How Apple DESTROYED Qualcomm

How is iPhone 13 faster... with longer battery life??

2 Avalanche high-performance cores. 4 Blizzard high-efficiency cores. Up to 5 Graphics Cores. 16 Neural Engine Cores. Double the system cache to keep it all fed. But, increasingly, it’s the non-big compute core features that are the most interesting: New image signal processor, ISP, including Smart HDR4. New video encode and decode blocks, including hardware acceleration for ProRes 422 video. New display engine for up to 120Hz adaptive refresh. New always-on touch co-processor to adapt that refresh in real-time. All with the best battery life ever delivered on an iPhone… and maybe, just maybe, our first glimpse at what might be coming for M2 and the next generation of Apple Silicon Macs.

This is the A15 Bionic deep dive!

Wow, I've never seen Apple's iPhone and processors strategy being covered that deeply.
That video must've been countless hours of work. Props for that, Rene!

[john_marki]

Rene… you destroy these deep dives! I’m so appreciative of all your hard work! Thank you sir. 🙏🏼🖤👍🏼

[userb]

I remember when Apple introduced the 64 bit CPU and everyone laugh a second time then gets caught with their collective pants down AGAIN. 😆

[OkayestOfAllTime]

How do you not have 1M subs yet? The content… The quality… The quality content. You’re 3 for 3.

[thetechpastor]

This was an excellent example of how to hype what Apple has actually accomplished with its custom silicon. Great job, Rene!

[ryanbotha]

My complaint here is that I can’t like this video more than once. The level of depth and efficacy in this video is astounding. Rene, you have done an exceptional job on this video! Gees!

[jamison]

The detail and thoroughness that you put into your work is a breath of fresh air in the tech space. Thank you for the quality content. 👍🏼

[chrisatwood]

Seeing this all laid out over the years really highlights how long this has been “in the works” which is just mind boggling.

Fantastic video as always Rene!!

[craigfuchs]

Seeing all the chip additions over the years brings me back to when apple used the power PC line, and then code names like G3, G4, G5 and altivec on the Motorola and IBM chips. Those were RISC processors as well I believe, but no where near as advanced as the A series today

[kearywalker]

These are my absolute favorite videos from you super long and detailed.

[supralapsarian]

How does this channel not already have 500K subscribers? As always, you knocked it out of the park. Thank you, Rene!

[jeffsep]

[feldmannimports]

The efficiency from the iPhone 12 to the 13 is quite noticeable and worth the upgrade. Thanks for the video.

[jfifield]

[mic]

the amount of effort you must put into your videos is impressive. I learn so much from them

[scoutmaster-s]

One year later, this video is still a great resource. It's a great review of the entire history of Apple silicone.
