iPhone 16e has a binned A18 chip | Infinium-tech

The brand-nay is the fourth and at least expensive member of the iPhone 16e iPhone 16 series. Some resources are required to reach the start of the beginning of $ 599/€ 699/£ 599 and is now confirmed that the A18 chip within 16E is not equal to the one to be used in the regular iPhone 16.

According to Apple’s official glasses, the A18 chip of 16E has a 6-core CPU (2 performance and 4 efficiency) with a 4-core GPU and 16-core nerve engine. While the counting of CPU and nerve core is similar to the regular A18 chip, GPU gets a low core at 16E. This is unlikely to be noticeable in real -world performance, but will possibly appear in the benchmark and high -demanding gaming title.

The chip bining is a general quality control process in the semiconductor industry as the yield is never 100% and some chips do not reach the desired core count or clock speed. Instead of throwing out these chips, most manufacturers separate them into separate compartments (therefore name) and some disable the core. Those bind chips are then sold at low prices.

Three different variations of Apple A18 Chip

Bind A18 Chip has a low GPU core and iPhone 16 Pro/Max’s A18 Pro than A18 Pro on the iPhone 16. The situation is similar to the iPad Mini (2024), with a bind version of the A17 Pro chip with a low GPU core again.
