News on September 14th, the latest developments in the iPhone series have once again affected the nerves of the technology world. According to reliable sources, Apple plans to launch the iPhone 15 next year For the first time, Pro is equipped with a bionic chip called A17, and the company’s internal code name for this chip is “Coll”.
The A17 chip will use TSMC’s latest 3-nanometer (3nm) process technology. This news has attracted widespread attention in the industry. TSMC’s 3nm process family includes multiple versions, including N3B, N3E, N3P and N3X, and the iPhone The 15 Pro will use the N3B process. This move means that Apple is continuously improving the performance and energy efficiency of its mobile phone chips to meet users' needs for faster and more efficient mobile phones.
News revealed that next year’s iPhone 16 Pro will have some important details. It is understood that the iPhone 16 Pro will be equipped with the A18 chip, which uses TSMC’s 3nm process and is internally codenamed “Tahiti”. At the same time, the chip will use TSMC’s N3P process, which is TSMC’s third-generation 3nm process technology. Compared with the previous N3E process, N3P can improve performance by 5% at the same power consumption, or reduce power consumption by 5% to 10% at the same frequency, which will enable the iPhone 16 Pro to have better performance and energy efficiency. . In addition, N3P can also increase the transistor density by 4%, reaching 1.7 times the level of the 5nm process
