就这么一个无厘头的段子也能登上微博热榜前10，可见iPhone新品有多火爆。

Such a senseless joke can also be on the top 10 of the microblog hot list, which shows how popular the new iPhone product is.

预售发货前夕，iPhone13系列性能究竟如何，相信大家都很好奇。

On the eve of pre-sale and delivery, I believe everyone is curious about the performance of苹果官网中文版的产品介绍里，还特 the iPhone13 series.

苹果官网中文版的产品介绍里，还特意用了大家喜闻乐见的玩原神来演示A15仿生芯片出色的图形性能。

In the product introduction of the Chinese version of Apple's official website, it also specially 官网中文版的产品介绍里，还特demonstrated the excellent graphics performance of A15 bionic chip with the popular playing god.

没想到原神就这么成了国际通用手机性能测试平台。

I didn't expect Yuanshen to become an international general mobile phone performance testing platform.

不少用iPhone12的玩家都在吐槽，原神玩15-20分钟就会出现强制降亮度、发热、掉帧三连。

Many players who use Phone12的玩家都在吐槽the iPhone12 are complaining. After playing for 15-20 minutes, the original god will have forced brightness reduction, fever reduction and frame drop.

这次iPhone13系列真的彻底征服原神了？

This iPhone13 series has really completely conquered the original gods?

跑分结果有提升，但无法征服原神

The result of running points has improved, but the original god cannot be conquered.

在发布会上，苹果拿A15对比了同行之后表示：

At the press conference, Apple compared A15 with its peers and said:

比最强的竞争对手（leading competition）强50%。

50% better than the s强的竞争对手（leading comtrongest competitor.

而安卓阵营的顶流芯片们在跑分结果上也确实比不过A15：

However, the top-stream chips in the Android camp are indeed not as good as A15:

那么我们就主要来看一下A15与自家产品的差距。

Then let's mainly look at the gap between A15 and our own products.

先来看看原神最吃的GPU性能。

First, let's look at the GPU performance that the original god ate most.

对比上一代的A14，5核GPU版的A15（13 Pro、13 Pro Max）大概有32%的提升，4核GPU版的A15（13、13 Mini）则提高了15%：

Compared with the previous上一代的A14，5核GPU版 generation A14, the A15 (13 Pro, 13 Pro Max) of the 5-core GPU version has an increase of about 32%, while the A15 (13, 13 Mini) of the 4-core GPU version has an increase of 15%:

而对于CPU，A15在单核CPU性能上比A14提高了10%，在多核CPU性能上则提高18%：

For CPU, A15 improves the performance of single-core CPU by 10% compared with A14, and improves the performance of multi-core CPU by 18%:

△根据Geekbench数据整理

According to Geekbench data

不过这个提高……说牙膏肯定是冤枉了，但确实也不算很大。

However, this improvement... it must be wrong to say toothpaste, but it is not very big.

毕竟，不超过20%的理论性能提升肯定是不能让游戏帧数直接从40飙到60的。

After all, a theoretical performance improvement of no more than 20% definitely cannot directly incre20%的理论性能提升肯定是不能让游戏帧数直接从40飙ase the number of game frames from 40 to 60.

当然，跑分结果只反映一款芯片的峰值性能，接下来我们正式进入游戏。

Of course, the running result only reflects the peak performance of a chip, and then we officially enter the game.

室温限定在25℃左右，连上WIFI，把特效帧率画质全部拉满。

他先上线稻妻，在传送点附近挂机半小时。

He went online to his rice wife first and hung up near the transmission point for half an hour.

在挂机阶段，12系列（A14）在5分钟左右就会发生降频，而13系列则在8到12分钟之间出现游戏帧率的大幅波动，且同时伴随着屏幕亮度的降低：

During the hang-up phase, Series 12 (A14) will reduce the frequency in about 5 minutes, while Series 13 will have a 率的大幅波动，且同时伴随着屏幕亮度的large fluctuation in the game frame rate between 8 and 12 minutes, accompanied by a decrease in screen brightness:

其中，13 Pro Max在降频到50帧率左右后后期还能恢复；13在帧率稳定40和稳定50之间反复横跳；13 Mini则在降到40帧之后不再波动直接开摆。

Among them, 13 Pro Max can recover a跳；13 Mini则在降到40帧之后不再波动直接开摆。fter the frequency is reduced to about 50 frame rates. 13 repeatedly hop between frame rate stabilization 40 and stabilization 50; The 13 Mini does not fluctuate and opens directly after dropping to 40 frames.

而iPad Mini 6则比较恐怖：帧率几乎一直维持在60上下。

The iPad Mini 6 is scary: the frame rad Mini 6则比较恐怖：帧率几乎一直维持te is almost always around 60.

挂完机开始锄大地。主要流程是欺负一下无相和骗骗花（BOSS战），再走一走有山有水的复杂地形（跑图）：

After hanging up the machine, he began to hoe the ground. The main process is to bully no phase and cheat flowers (BOSS war), and then walk along the complex terrain with mountains an比较恐怖：帧率几乎一直维持在60上下。d water (running map):

在这两个阶段，iPad Mini 6由于机身大，散热快，因此在BOSS和跑图上都表现最好。

In these two stages, the iPad Mini 6 performs best in BOSS and running chart due to its large body and fast heat dissipation.

而剩下三款手机在前期的BOSS战阶段基本都在60帧左右进行波动，差异不大。

However, the remaining three mobile phones basically fluctuated around 60 frames in the early BOSS phase,BOSS战阶段基本都在60帧左右 with little difference.

但在后半程跑图的平均帧率上，13和13 Mini在40上下波动，13 Pro Max则维持在40到50之间，并且能短暂恢复到60帧：

However, on the average frame rate of the second half of the run, the 13 and 13 Mini fluctuate up and down at 40,跑图的平均帧率上，13和13 Mini在40上下波动，13 Pro Max则维持在40到50之间，并且能短暂恢复到60帧： while the 13 Pro Max remains between 40 and 50, and can recover to 60 frames for a short time:

对比上代产品12 Mini，搭载了A15的13系列能平均提高5到10帧的跑图帧率。

Compared with the previous generation product 12 Mini, the 13 series equipped with A15 can increase the frame rate of running pictures by 5 to 10 frames on average.

（不过由于帧率波动很大，所以实际玩起来的流畅性没有特别明显的提升）

(However, due to the large fluctuation of frame rate, the fluency of actual play has not been significantly improved.)

在机身温度上iPad Mini 6依旧carry全场，最高温度仅36.6，其余的12和13系列的最高温度基本都在41到42度之间，发热集中在手机背部右侧贴近边框的部位：

In terms of body temperature, the iPad Mini 6 still carries the whole body, with the highest temperature being only 36.6. The highest temperatures of the remaining 12 and 13 series are basically between 41 and 42 degrees, and the heat is concentrated on the right side of the back of the mobile phone close to the frame:

而只要在机身上加一个散热背夹，之前表现最差的iPhone12 Pro就能稳定跑出60帧（即使是在30分钟之后的实际游戏阶段）：

However, as long as a heat dissipation back clip is added to the body, the iPhone12 Pro, which performed worst before, can run 60 frames stably (even in the actual game phase after 30 minutes):

总的来说，搭载了A15的13系列手机在性能上有一定提升，但并没有大幅优化功耗和散热。

In general, the 13-series mobile phones equipped with A15 have improved their performance to some extent, but they have not greatly optimized their power consumption and heat dissipation.

因此，要“长时间不发热、不降频、不上辅助散热”地“征服”原神，13系列手机目前还做不到。

Therefore, the 13 series of mobile phones cannot "conquer" the original gods "without heating, frequency reduction and auxiliary heat dissipation for a long time".

而iPad Mini 6，用的是主频被降了的A15，在游戏表现上却最好。

The iPad Mini 6, on the other hand, uses A15, whose main frequency has been reduced, but performs best in the game.

只能说，你果的刀法是真的很精妙（狗头）。

It can only be said that your knife method is really subtle (dog head).

库克找谁学的刀法？

Who did Cook learn the knife?

这次苹果发布会上有两个不同于以往的细节值得注意。

There are two details worth noting at this Apple conference that are different from the past.

第一个，虽然芯片统一叫A15 Bionic但内部有着不同规格。

First, although the chip is collectively called A15 Bionic, it has different specifications inside. 统一叫A15 Bionic但内部有着不同规

iPhone四个产品线，Pro和Pro Max上的A15有5个GPU核心，普通13和Mini上只有四个。

The iPhone has four produ，Pro和Pro Max上的A15有5个GPU核心，ct lines. The A15 on Pro and Pro Max has five GPU cores, while the 13 and Mini have only four.

这种情况在苹果从iPhone4开始自己设计A系列芯片以来可还是头一遭。

This is the first time since Apple started designing its own A-Series chips from the iPhone4.

其实算上iPad Mini 6，这次A15系列内部共有3个不同版本。

In fact, including the iPad Mini 6, there are 3 different versions in the A15 series this time.

iPhone 13 Pro和Pro Max上用的是“满血版”，CPU单核频率3.23GHz，5个GPU核心

The iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max use a "full blood version" with a single CPU frequency of 3.23 GHz and five GPU cores.

iPhone 13和Mini上用的是“阉割版”，CPU单核频率保持一致但GPU核心砍成了4个

The iPhone 13 and Mini use "castrated versions" with the same CPU single core frequency but four GPU cores.

iPad Mini 6上用的是“降频版”，CPU单核频率降到2.93GHz，5个GPU核心

The iPad Mini 6 uses a "reduced 上用的是“降频版”，CPU单核频率降到2.93GHz，5个frequency version" with a single CPU frequency of 2.93 GHz and five GPU cores.

iPad Mini 6仰仗机身面积大散热效果好，CPU频率就不用这么高了。

The iPad Mini 6 relies on its large body area and good heat dissipation effect, so the CPU frequency does not need to be so high.

这精准的刀法，也不知道苹果是和英特尔学的还是和英伟达学的。

I don't know whether Apple learned this precise knife method from Intel or Avida.

第二个感觉上更微妙一点。

The second feels more subtle.

回想一下以往的发布会，说的都是和前一代芯片相比，本代性能提升了百分之多少多少。

Looking back on previous press conferences, they all said how much the performance of this generation has improved compared with the previous generation of chips.

今年口径却改成了“比最强的竞争对手（leading competition）强50%”。

This year, the caliber ha比最强的竞争对手（leading competition）强s been changed to "50% better than the strongest competitor".

知名苹果消息网站MacWorld据此提出一个观点：

MacWorld, a well-known Apple News website, puts forward a point of view based on this:

苹果此举是不是在弱化新芯片比旧款快不了多少这件事？

Is Apple's move weakening the fact that the new chip is not much faster than the old one?

从官方数据来看，A15这一系列与A14相比有不少改进。

According to official data, A15 series has many improvements compared with A14.

首先是制造工艺，A15采用了台积电改进版5纳米制程工艺。虽然都是5纳米，但改进后的工艺可以带来能效上的提升，也就是更省电了。

The first is the manufacturing process. A15 adopts TSMC's improved version of the 5nm manufacturing process. Although they are all 5 nanometers, the improved process can15采用了台积电改进版5纳米制程工艺。虽然都是5纳米，但改进后的工艺可以带来能效上的提升，也 bring about improvement in energy efficiency, that is, more electricity saving.

然后是晶体管数量，A15集成了150亿个晶体管，比上代A14是118亿。

Then there is the number of transistors. A15 integrates 15 billion transistors, up from 11.8 billion on the previous generation A14.

再就是系统缓存翻倍，现在是32MB，神经引擎算力也达到了15.8TOPS。

Another is that the system cache has doubled to 32MB now, and the computing power of the neural engine has reached 15.8 TOPS.

纸面数据看起来不是挺棒，为什么苹果还是心虚，不和上一代对比了？

The paper data does not look very good. Why is Apple still guilty and not compared with the previous g实就在A14发布时的海报里。eneration?

答案其实就在A14发布时的海报里。

The answer is actually in the poster when A14 was released.

A14时CPU和GPU速度比的还是“所有其他智能手机芯片”，到了A15就成了对比友商。

At A14, the speed ratio between CPU and GPU was still "all other smart phone chips", and at A15, it became a comparison friend.

A14时神经引擎从8核升到16核放在海报上方正中间醒目位置，速度还快了80%。

At A14, the neural engine rose到16核放在海报上方正 from 8 cores to 16 cores and was placed in a prominent position in the middle of the square on the poster, which was 80% faster.

到了A15神经引擎核心数没变，速度对比也干脆不提了，直接放上最好看的绝对数值。

By the time the number of A15 neural engine cores has not changed, the speed comparison will not be mentioned at all, and the best absolute value will be put directly on. 经引擎核心数没变，速度对比也干脆不提了，直接放上最好看的绝对数值。

以前不够资格上海报的新ISP图像信号处理器、新的视频编码器和解码器等也被请出来占位置。

The new ISP image signal processor, new video encoder and decoder, which were not qualified for 格上海报的新ISP图像信号处理器、新的视频编码器和解码器等也被请出来占位置。Shanghai newspaper before, were also invited to take up the position.

这样虽然确实是A13到A14的提升更大，但A15的海报表面上看起来也还是很棒。

In this way, although the promotion from A13 to A14 is indeed greater, the poster of A15 still looks great on the surface.

怎么样，学到了么？

So, did you learn?

所以为什么A15性能提升并不大？

So why is the performance improvement of A15 not big?

说苹果学刀法的也好，挤牙膏的也罢，所以为什么要这样？

It is said that apples learn挤牙膏的也罢，所以为什 knife methods or squeeze toothpaste, so why do you want to do this?

难道真是因为同行没有一个能打的了[旺柴]？

Is it really because none of the col行没有一个能打的了[leagues can fight [Wangchai]?

首先，虽然A15性能有点原地踏步，但iPhone 13的续航能力是真的上去了，不同机型提升了1.5-2.5个小时不等。

First of all, although the A15 performance is a bit stagnant, the endurance of the iPhone 13 has really improved, with different m首先，虽然A15性能有点原地踏步，但iPhone 13的续航能力是真的上去了，不同机型提升了1.5-2.5个小时不等。odels increasing by 1.5-2.5 hours.

所以说苹果这是拿速度换续航了？（当然这也有电池本身容量变大的原因。）

So Apple is trading speed for endurance? (Of course, this is also the reason why the battery itself ha换续航了？（当然这也有电池本身容量变大的原因。）s become larger.)

其次也能看出，A14、A15这两代是在着重优化功耗。

Secondly, it can be seen that the A14 and A15 generations are focusing on optimizing power consumpti、A15这两代是在着重优化on.

因为目前的A系列性能似乎真的已经撞到墙了，进一步地说，也是碰着半导体产业的瓶颈期了。

Because the current A-series performance seems to have really hit the wall, and further, it is also hitting the bottleneck period of the semiconductor industry.

还有一个原因是台积电新工艺还不成熟，导致良品率低，致使体质不好的A15被锁核降频再利用，也就产生了“阉割版”与“降频版”A15，给人一种挤牙膏的感觉。

Another reason i新工艺还不成熟，导致良品率低，致使体质不好的A15被锁核降频再利用，也就产生了“阉割版”与s that TSMC's new technology is still immature, resulting in a low yield, resulting in the poor A15 being locked and reused at a reduced frequency, thus producing the "castrated version" and the "reduced frequency version" A15, giving people the feeling of squeezing toothpaste.

另外，来自半导体分析网站SemiAnalysis的一个声音则表示，苹果芯片团队的人才流失有点严重。

In addition, a voice f外，来自半导体分析网站SemiAnalysis的一个声音则表示，苹果芯片团队的人才流失有点严重。rom SemiAnalysis, a semiconductor analysis website, said that the brain drain from Apple's chip team was a bit serious.

比如2019年成立的CPU设计初创公司Nuvia，就是由苹果最重磅的芯片设计师Gerard Williams III以及两位前半导体高管创立。

For example, Nuvia, a CPU design start-up established in 2019, was founded by Gerard Williams III, APU设计初创公司Nuvia，就是由苹果最重磅的芯片设计师Gerard Williams III以及两位前半导体高pple's biggest chip designer, and two former semiconductor executives.

△ Gerard Williams III在苹果工作长达9年

Gerard Williams III worked at Apple for nine years

今年，高通以14亿美元收购了NUVIA，买的不仅是公司，更是技术和人才（包括3位联合创始以及100多位苹果工程师）。

This year, Qualcomm bought NUVIA for US $1.4 billion, not only for the company, but also for technology and talents (including 3 co-founders and more than 100 Apple engineers).

无独有偶，今年6月刚成立的另一家CPU初创公司Rivos Inc（专注于高性能RISC-V 内核），也有很多来自苹果的工程师。

虽然现在不管怎么说，作为手机移动端最强芯片，苹果还是在拿着望远镜找对手。

但这人才都被挖走了，未来会给人一丝隐隐的担忧吧。
