TSMC is preparing a 5nm processor for the iPhone 12

Miniaturization is a very important part of technology, especially on mobile devices where every millimeter is important. In the case of processors, making them more sophisticated not only helps save space, but also represents an important saving of battery, that is, advances in terms of resources. In any case, Apple has partnered with TSMC for a few years when iPhone affiliates did, making it its sole provider and discarding Samsung for sure. According to a recent leak TSMC is preparing a 5 nanometer processor for the iPhone 12.

The TSMC was working exclusively with Apple since 2016 and have since released the following processors:

• A10 chip: 16nm
• A11 chip: 10nm
• A12 chip: 7nm
• A13 chip: 7nm +
• A14 chip: 5nm

In just five years they have been able to reduce the chipset size to more than three

and this assumes not only that the iPhone is the most powerful phone in the market, but better service management and, above all, important battery savings, something that has become a real drama in recent years. years and that seems to be over with the advent of the iPhone XR.

In theory, according to Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple will launch this year in 2020 up to four different models,

the type of two "Pro" models and the two standard models, are all compatible except for one with 5G connectivity, and it's amazing that the Carertino company took the time to join this type of connection, it has always been the Master of the latest version of communication available. In the meantime, we will continue to wait for the upcoming maturity of the production casket, written apparently for Coronavirus.
