Apple A16 Bionic GPU (5-core)

64-bit · 640 cores

The 5-core GPU of the A16 Bionic, used in the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max and later in the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus. It was the first Apple phone GPU paired with LPDDR5 memory, giving it 50 percent more memory bandwidth than the A15 Bionic. The iPad (11th generation) uses a binned A16 with a 4-core GPU, listed separately.
