The next generation of flagship smartphones will feature the most advanced chip technology yet. Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite and MediaTek's Dimensity 9400, along with Apple's A18 and A18 Pro, will be produced using TSMC's second-generation 3nm process node (N3E). This smaller process node allows for more transistors, leading to improved performance and power efficiency.
were the first phones to be powered by a chip manufactured by TSMC using its 3nm process node. The cost of using this new technology forced most chip makers to stick with the 4nm node last year. That won't be the case later this year as Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite and MediaTek's Dimensity 9400 both will be produced with a 3nm node resulting in the first Snapdragon 8 and Dimensity chips ever made at that process node.
We have seen the number of transistors inside Apple's A-series chips rise from the 8.5 billion in the 7nm A13 chipset that powered the iPhone 11 series in 2019 to the 19 billion transistors inside the 3nm A17 Pro chip used on last year'sPlus are powered by the A18. The A18 Pro has a six-core GPU compared to the five-core GPU on the A18. Both are quite capable chipsets,
For the first time that I can remember, an application processor is the star of a new television ad for the iPhone. Titled"All Systems Pro," the 38 second video takes place at a rocket firm's Mission Control and focuses on the launch of the A18 Pro chipset. As the crew goes through the pre-launch checklist, we hear about the A18 Pro's:launches into space and those working for Mission Control erupt in cheers. The words on the screen say,"The most powerful iPhone ever.
