Re:The reluctant debut of the A14 processor by YetAnotherNick on Sunday September 20, 2020 @05:49AM (#24532959)
Apple states that:

> two high performance A13 cores are 20% faster with 30% lower power consumption than the Apple A12's, and the four high efficiency cores are 20% faster with 40% lower power consumption than the A12's. A13's eight-core Neural Engine dedicated neural network hardware is 20% faster and consumes 15% lower power than the A12's

> A14 up to 40% faster than A12, with 30% faster graphics performance than A12, and machine-learning performance is up to 10 times faster.

Is there any reason for them to compare the A14 to the A12 instead of the A13? Other than making the numbers look more impressive, of course.

They’re comparing it to the SoC in the previous generation of the iPad Air.

They were comparing it to the previous iPad Air, which had an A12.
