We have started to see more concrete details of future 3nm chips thanks to Nikkei Asia. The media recently published that Apple’s first 3nm chip will be sold in an iPad Pro, probably in next year’s generation.
As we have said on other occasions, going from the current 5nm to the 3nm would allow greater efficiency (10 to 15% more performance and 25 to 30% less energy consumption
Showcase efficiency where it’s needed most – on a tablet
If this rumor is true, the iPad Pro would once again be the device that debuts Apple chips after the current generation inherited the M1s from Macs. In 2020, due to delays from the pandemic, the iPad Pro was the first device to launch the A12Z chip, never seen in any other device at the time.
For this year, everything continues to indicate that We will continue to 5nm when the iPhone 13 and the new MacBook Pro arrive. In any case, TSMC has promised an increase in efficiency while keeping this measure for the transistors, since they have found a new technology that allows it. The tracks begin to circulate around a new era of releases which would begin in September.
