It first appeared in the iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, and iPhone X which were introduced on September 12, 2017. It has two high - performance cores which are 25 % faster than the Apple A10 and four high - efficiency cores which are up to 70 % faster than the energy - efficient cores in the A10. Contents 1 Design 2 Products that include the Apple A11 Bionic 3 See also 4 References Design The A11 features an Apple - designed 64 - bit ARMv8 - A six - core CPU, with two high - performance cores, called Monsoon, and four energy - efficient cores, called Mistral. The A11 uses a new second - generation performance controller, which permits the A11 to use all six cores simultaneously, unlike its predecessor the A10. The A11 also integrates an Apple - designed three - core graphics processing unit ( GPU ) with 30 % faster graphics performance than the A10. Embedded in the A11 is the M11 motion coprocessor. The A11 includes a new image processor which supports computational photography functions such as lighting estimation, wide color capture, and advanced pixel processing. The A11 also includes dedicated neural network hardware that Apple calls a `` Neural Engine '', which can perform up to 600 billion operations per second, used for Face ID, Animoji and other machine learning tasks. The A11 is manufactured by TSMC using a 10 nm FinFET process and contains 4.3 billion transistors on a die 87.66 mm in size, 41 % smaller than the A10. It is manufactured in a package on package ( PoP ) together with 2 GB of LPDDR4X memory in the iPhone 8 and 3 GB of LPDDR4X memory in the iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X.
