Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

CTOnews.com, Oct. 8, the latest report shows that Apple is preparing to use 2nm chips in its Mac computers, although it will not be available in the near future.

With the continuous progress of the times, advanced semiconductor technology is also gradually moving forward. Although Apple missed the opportunity to use the 3nm process this year, the next 3nm and 2nm processes will achieve a stable transition.

CTOnews.com learned that Apple has its own SoC design team to design CPU for iPhone, Mac and iPad, which is manufactured by TSMC.

However, progress does not always go according to plan. Apple processors such as M1 and A15 are made using 5nm technology, and the company hopes to transition to 3nm process this year, but the day is not satisfactory, TSMC failed to solve the problem of mass production in the second half of this year, even now it is too late to achieve mass production, so the new M2 and A16 still use the enhanced version of 5nm process, and the follow-up M3 is expected to be Apple's first product using 3nm process.

According to the Electronic Times, Apple has already begun actively preparing 2nm chips and hopes to strengthen cooperation with TSMC to apply new nodes to its internally developed processors, which are scheduled to enter mass production in 2025.

Of course, even if Apple chip fails to achieve the Great Leap forward, it will not lag behind. According to Apple, the performance of the A16 in the iPhone 14 Pro is 33% better than the iPhone 11 Pro Max and 40% better than the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, and the battery life is longer, and future chips using 2nm technology are also expected.

"Research shows that the design of Apple A16 chip is basically the same as that of A15."
