We don’t really have a lot of data on the A14 yet, which I guess is by design; maybe they want to keep some surprises for the iPhone reveal (maybe they’ll show the first ARM Mac?).

All we have is the 40% figure. I think they’re saying the 2019 and 2020 iPads Air both have six cores (two of them high-performance). If so, that’s very much in line with recent generations. Going by single-core numbers, the A11 was 25% faster than the A10; the A12 another 20%; the A13 another 19.6%. A11 to A13 is 43.8%.

So, judging from that, we’re looking at about 17% from A13 to A14. I hope there’s no continuous downward trend in year-over-year improvements here? (There probably is. Also why they’re focusing on coprocessors like the Neural Engine so much.)
