While the iPhone series is 17 more months from the launch, rumors about iPhone 18 models continue the surface next year. In the research note with the company's study company GF Securities this week, PU said that it expects that the iPhone 18 Pro, the iPhone 18 Pro Max and the so -called iPhone, equipped with an Apple A20 chip, and he believes that the chip will have some key changes in design compared to A18 and the upcoming chips A19. The current A18 PRO chip in the iPhone 16 Pro models is made using the second-generation 3NM process, while the A19 Pro Chip for iPhone 17 Pro models will be used, the 3NM-generation process TSMC. Moving from 3 -nm to 2 -nm, starting with the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 -fold models, will allow you to get more transistors in each chip, which helps to increase performance. In particular, previous reports indicated that A20 chips should be 15% faster and up to 30% efficiently power than A19 chips.
Overview of the current and expected iPhone chips:
- a17 Pro: 3nm (TSMC ' S First Generation 3NM process n3b)
- a19 Chips: 3NM (third-generation chips n3p)
- a20 chips: 2nm (first generation TSMC 2NM N2)
Keep in mind, keep in mind that this nanometer, and not marketing, not marketing, not that, and not, not marketing, not marketing, not marketing, not marketing, not marketing, not marketing, not marketing, not marketing, not marketing, not marketing, not marketing, not marketing, not marketing, not marketing, not marketing, not marketing, not marketing, not marketing, not marketing, not marketing, not marketing, not marketing Marketing is not that, it is impossible, not what, not like, and not marketing, not what. Actual measurements.
The Apple Ming-Chi Kuo analyst also expects the A20 chip will be 2NM, which is not very surprising if you look at the IPhone chip trajectory.
There is another alleged change, which will be more noticeable. In addition to the 2-mm process, PU said that it expects the A20 chip will use a more new chip packaging technology at the plate level (WMCM). Using this new design, RAM will be integrated directly into the chip plate with a processor, a graphic processor and a neural engine, instead of being adjacent to a chip and interpreting to silicon. The change can also lead to the fact that the A20 chip has a smaller area than the previous chips, which can free the space inside the iPhone for other applications. 18tag: Jeff Pu [50 comments]
