IPhone 15 may use TSMC 3nm chip, and Apple may become the first company to use 3nm chip
As the most important part of the mobile phone, the mobile phone chip, also known as the heart of the mobile phone, determines the upper limit of the mobile phone's performance. Recently, the iPhone 14 series was released, and the following disclosure of the iPhone 15 has also come. It is rumored that the iPhone 15 may use TSMC's 3nm chip. This news immediately hit a hot search. Everyone is very concerned about the relevant details. Come to see the specific disclosure content.
On September 14, it was reported today that the iPhone 15 will use TSMC3nm chips, so Apple will also become the first company to use 3nm technology. The A17 mobile processor under development will use TSMC's N3E chip manufacturing technology for mass production and is expected to be launched in the second half of next year. However, like the iPhone 14 this year, the A17 chip will also only be used in the high-end model of the iPhone 15, not the standard version of the iPhone 15.
New machine explosion
A17 will be used for high-end products in the iPhone lineup expected to be released in 2023. N3E is the latest generation of 3nm process of TSMC, that is, 3nm Enhanced version, which has only been put into use this year.
This year's iPhone 14 Pro series uses the latest A16 bionic chip with a 4nm process and 16 billion transistors. CPU performance increased by 40%, power consumption decreased by 20%, and battery life improved significantly. The new NPU can calculate 17 billion times per second, and the GPU bandwidth is increased by 50%. An Rabbit's running score shows that the total score of the iPhone 14 Pro is 978147, and the total score of the iPhone 14 Pro Max is 972936, up 18.8% compared with the previous generation.
According to the disclosure, the iPhone 15 may use TSMC's 3nm chip. TSMC has a good reputation, so we are still expecting this disclosure. However, senior fans said: "There are disclosures every year. I don't remember this when it was released.". So we have to wait until next year to see the truth.
