This rumor concern only the 12.9
And the probability for this update to come without any cost is marginal, it will certainly be a "Max" and be really expensive!
That's a different rumor, that was about miniled. This one concerns both
 
Basically this confirms that the A12Z SoC really is only the same A12X but with one more GPU core activated. Same clock speed and everything. Before the benches came out I had hoped to see a clock speed boost to maybe around 2.8 GHz, but no such luck. And I betcha that GPU core was already there, but A12X has one core deactivated for yield reasons. A12Z likely represents a binned chip where all 8 cores can be utilized.

The good news is it again confirms the 6 GB RAM, at least for this particular 8,12 model.

So, will A14X be 30-40% faster than A12X?

Thank you for this. I'm happy as I don't need to update whatsoever. If I do it won't be for a while.
*I hate the camera look TBH, I love the cleaner more iPhone XR design of the iPP 3.
