What a neural engine is.

What a neural engine is.

A neural engine is hardware that’s purpose-built for machine learning, a type of artificial intelligence that enables computers to learn from observation. It’s capable of incredibly fast computations needed by neural networks while also being incredibly efficient.

What a neural engine does.

The neural engine in the A11 Bionic chip is a dual-core design that recognizes people, places, and objects. It tears through machine learning tasks at up to 600 billion operations per second and is the driving force behind innovative new features like Face ID and Animoji.

Engineered for efficiency.

A11 Bionic manages its enormous power intelligently by directing tasks between the performance and efficiency cores. So the things you do most often — like texting and browsing the web — happen quickly while using less energy. Add a custom battery design and what do you get? iPhone X lasts up to two hours longer between charges than iPhone 7.

Augmented reality. Augmented.

With the A11 Bionic chip, AR games and apps reach a new level of fluidity and realism.
