The iPhone 14 Pro’s A16 chip: Power and performance beyond a speed boost

Each year, we take a look at the trajectory of Apple’s A-series silicon (which premieres in iPhones and is often used in iPads) in order to get an idea of how the next chip will perform. By combining what we know of state-of-the-art chip manufacturing and packaging processes and Apple’s past improvements, we can generally glean what’s coming from the next system-on-chip (SoC).This year, as we look ahead to the A16, making this call is harder than ever.
