GPU Compute is increasingly important. I wouldn’t
be surprised if it’s 50 percent faster in the A14When it comes to using the GPU for computation,
I think we can expect a similar speed bump. A bigger
GPU plus faster clock speeds and more memory
bandwidth could give us 50 percent or more – making
the Geekbench 5 compute score jump to the 9,500 to
10,000 range.Image processing and Neural Engine
The A-series processors do a lot more than just house
CPU and GPU cores. They contain specialized hardware
for specific tasks such as image processing (to turn
data from the cameras into stellar photos and video),
video encoding and decoding, and a Neural Engine
that powers machine learning tasks that are used
throughout iOS.GPU Compute is increasingly important. I wouldn’t
