It looks like Apple will soon release the 3nm chip thanks to TSMCas recently emerged thanks to the pages of DigiTimes and reported by MacRumors Apparently, the company should, in fact, be ready to begin production of the affected devices in the second half of the year, underscoring how Apple could already have the ability to exploit everything by 2023, bringing real performance gains. are guaranteed. important.
At the moment there are no precise dates, but the information seems to come from an official statement from TSMC, which should have the ability to produce 30,000-35,000 wafers using the 3nm process. According to Nikkei Asiaas discussed last year, the giant will launch an iPad with a new 3nm TSMC SoC in the course of 2022, although it must be said that the times may not be right yet, as DigiTimes has also spoken. should be on iPads, although we don’t know when it will arrive.
This would be the second time Apple has taken advantage of the new features for the iPad and not the iPhone, as with the A14 Bionic in 2020, and it is therefore likely that what was expected will not be false. As for the improvements, compared to 5nm there should be an improvement of 10 to 15% in performance and from 25 to 30% in consumption.
The new process should allow the creation of 40 Core CPUs, and TSMC already seems to be working for the N3e, an even improved version that should therefore guarantee further steps forward. All that’s left is to wait a few more months to find out what the company’s next upgrades to its processes will be.
