The iPhone 12 is reportedly scheduled for a big reveal at an event on September 8, and the pieces of Apple's flagship phone are literally coming together

The latest leaks have revealed the first clear photos of the RAM for the 5nm A14 Bionic processor

The photo comes courtesy of Twitter's White, who has quite a track record when it comes to leaks The leaker also predicted in June that the iPhone 12 will support a 20W power adapter, which has been corroborated by other sources

As reported by MacRumors, RAM's 2016 numbering indicates that it was manufactured in the 16th week of 2020, meaning it was manufactured in April

Based on previous leaks, the 54-inch iPhone 12 and 61-inch iPhone 12 Max should have 4GB of RAM, while the 61-inch iPhone 12 Pro and 67-inch iPhone 12 Pro Max should have 6GB of RAM

On paper, this would seem to put the iPhone 12 at a disadvantage against the Samsung Galaxy Note 20; the Note 20 is expected to have 8GB of RAM and the Galaxy Note 20 is expected to have a whopping 12GB of RAM

However, the iPhone 12 should have a better processor than the Galaxy Note 20: the A14 Bionic chip, which is said to be manufactured by TSMC, is reported to offer 15% faster performance while being 30% more efficient This is because the chip will be manufactured on a 5nm process, whereas the A13 Bionic is 7nm

In March, a Geekbench listing for the A14 Bionic was reportedly leaked online The chip achieved a multi-core score of 4,612 points, which, as AppleInsider points out, is even better than the 4,568-point result of the A12X processor in the 129-inch iPad Pro

Incidentally, the Galaxy S20 Ultra with the Snapdragon 965 scored 3,076 points in the multicore portion of Geekbench; benchmarks for the Galaxy Note 20 have not yet been leaked, but Qualcomm's slightly upgraded Snapdragon 865 Plus chip will likely be used

This new processor will boost the core clock speed of the chipset's Kryo 585 Prime CPU by 10% to 31 GHz The Adreno 650 GPU on the system-on-chip is also capable of rendering graphics 10% faster than the Snapdragon 865

However, the Snapdragon 865 Plus is manufactured in the same 7nm process as the regular Snapdragon 865 and does not appear to offer enough performance improvement to surpass the A14 Bionic in the iPhone 12

It remains to be seen if the additional RAM in the Galaxy Note 20 and Galaxy Note 20 Ultra can compensate for the weaker CPU, but at this point the iPhone 12 seems to have the edge
