I have an 8mm with the chip and it pretty much does everything but focus for me. B+H explanation is right on in previous link.

Allows the lens to communicate with the camera

Always get the AE chip when available. It tells the body the lens focal length, the max aperture number, and sends a focus-confirm acknowledgement (and perhaps other things). This makes the lens much easier to setup since you don't need to enter information in the non-cpu setup, and allows you to use the focus confirmation dot in the viewfinder. It may also allow the body to meter exposure more accurately. It's well worth the few extra dollars.

It is able to communicate with the camera, such as focus confirmation etc., but those chips, do not work very nice with some bodies. (The Canon 5D M III is one example, as some lenses with said chip can "confuse" the camera, causing it to "act up". But it is very easy to remove the chip from the adapter, and everything is well again (I had an adapter with a AF-confirming chip and as that part did work, the camera starting to set ISO parameters all over the place from one shot to the next, once I got rid of the chip, everything was working normal again)!What is AE chip in Rokinon 14mm wide angle lens, and what is the advantage of the same.

I sometimes shoot with a Rokinon 14mm that we got for use with our old D70S, but I like it very, very much on our D800, even though it seems not to be chipped. When I look over a set of images in Creative Cloud - taken with various lens, the ones from the 14mm do not list the focal length, and it is a manual lens which suits me just fine. It will, however give exposure values via the camera metering system. I think at the time, it was less costly than one with a chip, but maybe I "mis-remember".
