We can generally think that the manufacturing processes of processors are similar and this is partly true. But there are options within this manufacturing process that allow us to offer better performance and in this sense the 4nm process is much better than the 5nm used to make the processors of the current iPhone 12 and iPhone 13.
In this sense, it is important to stress that this is a DigiTimes leak and that it may or may not be true. What happens is that these Processors based on 4nm technology provide better performance in power and power consumption
It was said some time ago that Apple was already working on 3nm processors, although it looks like 4nm processors will come first due to the complexity of manufacturing these small chips. News of the 3nm processors was released by The Information indicating that TSMC was involved in their development and manufacture. It looks like these processors will finally reach later versions depending on the news, iPhone 14 will add 4nm.
It is important to improve performance and especially energy consumption
And it is that having this type of 4nm or 3nm processor can lower the consumption at the same time as the power is increased without overheating this important component of electronic devices. Macs are also going to have this type of processors inside with a 4nm manufacturing process and within two years 3nm could be coming as well.
Rumors indicate that next year’s iPhone will be a drastic change from the current models, something we’ll obviously also notice inside with better and more efficient processors in every way. It’s one of those things that can sometimes feel like “a race” with other brands to see which gets this kind of technology first, but it’s important to improve power and especially battery consumption, something that users like you and me are really worried about.
