TSMC will be the manufacturing company in charge of producing these chips.
Everything seems to be going according to plan. Exactly a year ago it was rumored that TSMC was planning to manufacture its first 3 nanometer chips in late 2022 and the premise was fulfilled. The most famous processor manufacturing company in the world launched mass production of the A17 Bionic chips of the iPhone 15 by the 3 nanometer process.
This complex process of manufacturing chips will be exclusive to Apple for a long time and will improve the performance of processors, as well as increase their energetic efficiency.
Confirmed, the iPhone 15 will have 3 nanometer processors
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) has started mass production of 3 nanometers new generation. These chips will be implemented in the assembly of future mobile devices from Apple, according to Bloomberg.
The 3 nanometer chips will be manufactured in TSMC Facilities in Southern Taiwan. Mark Liu, president of TSMC, assured that the demand for this technology is “very strong”.
The process of making 3 nanometer chips reduce processor size without losing a bit of performance by increasing the available space between hardware components in an effort to improve performance and power efficiency.
TSMC, Apple’s main chip supplier
Apple will start adopting 3 nanometer processors in 2023, with the launch of its iPhone 15 product line, via A17 (Bionic?) processors. What we don’t know is if the company with the bitten apple logo will implement 3-nanometer chips in all versions of the iPhone 15 or if they will be limited to the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max.
On the other hand, from TSMC they are build a factory in america in which 3 nanometer chips will also be produced. But when the facilities open in 2024, production will be by the 4-nanometer process. However, mass production of 3-nanometer chips is scheduled for 2026, when TSMC will have already moved to a new, more advanced and complex process.
Recently, we were also able to discover that the processors of the iPhone 15 range will be 35% more efficient and will prioritize battery life in front of the power of his performances. A news which, by the way, fits perfectly with the start of mass production of these 3 nanometer chips. What do you think of this information?
