Apple A17 specs: expect first 3nm iPhone, and one developed specifically for Apple to boot.
The chip foundries aren't done taping out the 2nm process just yet, so 3nm will be as cutting edge as it gets in the next couple of years.
It's been getting more challenging to shrink the processor die with each new generation of chipsets, and the nodes are staying for a longer time on the market before the introduction of something brand new. The Apple A14 in the iThis trend, however, means that the current 4nm/5nm chipsets are being perfected, their initial kinks ironed out, and their second or third iterations are more stable and power-sipping than before.
The Apple A17 specs are unlikely to be an exception and, since it will be done on the brand new 3nm N3P node developed by TSMC specifically for Apple, it could offer both better performance with higher clock counts and more transistors, as well as more frugal power-draw.Better performance per clock countNew Qualcomm X70-based modem with 10Gbps speeds
Given that the Apple A17 processor will use TSMC's N3P process, we already know what performance can we expect in the broad strokes. Namely, this 3nm node can be 15% faster and needs 35% less power than the A16, at least in theory. What combination of power draw and performance Apple will choose, however, remains to be heard when it announces the
