this neural engine is up to two times faster for machine learning and it's not just a neural engine we've also upgraded a8's memory subsystem including 177% more system memory bandwidth this is critical to give the trip the fastest most efficient access to our generative models as well as Drive the performance of Apple intelligence A8 is built using second generation 3 NM technology this 3 NM technology ology has even smaller transistors that are faster and more energy efficient A8 has our latest generation six core CPU with two performance cores and four efficiency cores these are critical as they're used in nearly every experience on iPhone including Apple intelligence it is up to 30% faster than the CPU and iPhone 15 and up to 60% faster than the CPU and iPhone 12
