Comparisons 14-05-2021
Comprehensive testing data of Apple M1 vs Apple A14 Bionic, comparison of graphics processors (GPU). A careful analysis of all the specifications, so that it can be easier to read, is made by the table. From the video comparison, you can get the results of parallel examination in software tests like Neocore, AnTuTu, PCMark, Vellamo, Quadrant, Geekbench, GFXBench, PassMark, 3DMark, even the gaming performance of chips in PUBG, Madout2, Minecraft, Asphalt 9, Fortnite, Call of Duty, GTA etc.
After looking at the data these tests and videos, you can already make an briefed decision about which SoCs is better to buy M1 or A14 Bionic.

Memory | 32 Gb | 6 Gb | | Memory Frequency | 2666 | 4266 | | Memory bandwidth | 64 | 42.7 | | Neural Processor (NPU) | Yes | Yes | | L1 cache | 48 KB | | | L2 cache | 4 MB | | | L3 cache | 12 MB | 8 MB | | Instruction set architecture (ISA) | ARMv8.4-A | ARMv8.4-A |
In this comparison block, you should pay attention to the differences in clock speed and the number of cores. Here M1 is 6% better than A14 Bionic in terms of CPU frequency. Another difference is that M1 has -2 more core than A14 Bionic. Also keep in mind that high CPU frequency affects battery life through power consumption.
GPU and Media| GPU | Apple M1 | Apple A14 Bionic | | GPU Frequency | 3200 MHz | 3000 MHz | | GFloPS | 2600 | 1480 | | # of Cores | 8 | 4 | | # of Shader Units | 128 | | | Display | 2732 x 2048 pixels | 2732 x 2048 pixels |
The frequency of the GPU does not always directly indicate its performance. To fully evaluate all the capabilities of a graphics chip, you should take into account the number of Shader Units and Cores, as well as how many GFlops it has.
Gaming benchmark| Fortnite Mobile | | 28.8 | | PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG Mobile) | | 60.9 | | Garena Free Fire - The Cobra | | 56.3 | | Call of Duty: Mobile | | 57.5 | | Grand Theft Auto V (GTA 5 Mobile) | | 47.5 | | Minecraft: Pocket Edition | | 74.8 | | Real Racing 3 | | 98.5 | | Sniper 3D | | 73.2 | | Need for Speed No Limits | | 67.6 | | Mortal Kombat X | | 73.2 | | CSR Racing 2 | | 67.6 |
The numbers in this table indicate the maximum FPS that was received on the device with the corresponding processor. Depending on the configuration of the gadget and graphics quality settings (Ultra, Medium, Normal), the results may differ quite significantly. We recommend that you better study the results of the Antutu 8 and GeekBench 5.2 becnmarks.
