The Apple A14 Bionic was the first 5-nanometer chip in any consumer device, debuting in the iPad Air in September 2020 and the iPhone 12 generation a month later — 11.8 billion transistors, a Neural Engine doubled to sixteen cores, and the design that, widened to eight performance cores, became the M1 that ended Intel Macs.

The A14/M1 siblinghood revealed the program's endgame: one architecture spanning phone to desktop. Its Firestorm core remains the reference point reviewers used to measure the entire industry's multi-year catch-up.
