The A12 Bionic is the world’s first seven-nanometer mobile processor but 2020 iPhones will run a new chip built on TSMC’s cutting-edge five-nanometer technology.
Intel officials and several developers in the know told Axios that first Macs powered by ARM-based custom chips should be expected no later than 2020.
Future iPhones may combine Apple’s own cellular modems with the main processor to save space and battery life, which is what Samsung, Huawei and others have been doing for some time.
Apple’s boss of hardware and chip technologies is being considered as Intel’s new chief executive following the resignation of the previous CEO, Brian Krzanich.
Apple’s custom T2 chip provides unrivaled privacy and industry-leading security features never before present on Mac. Some newer Mac models include this chip and others do not. iDownloadBlog shows you how to identify whether your Mac computer has the Apple T2 chip.
Offering improvements in power, size and scalability, Intel’s new 5G-enabled modem supports theoretical peak speeds of up to 6 gigabits per second, or three to six times faster than the latest LTE modems available today.
Apple’s upcoming iPad Pro tablets for 2018 will use an Apple-designed A12X Bionic chip, which is an enhanced version of the regular A12 Bionic chip in the iPhone XS/XS Max/XR smartphones feature a more powerful GPU for faster graphics.
Commercial production has begun on TSMC’s 7nm chip. This is the same chip likely to be found in Apple’s upcoming A12 processor for the 2018 iPhone models.
Stop me if you’ve think you’ve already heard this one: Apple is reportedly exploring ways to replace Intel processors in Mac computers with a version of in-house designed silicon technology that already powers its iOS, watchOS and tvOS devices.
Dialog’s boss told German newspaper Euro am Sonntag that it expects Apple, its top customer, to use its power-management chips for a significant proportion of its devices in 2019 and 2020. In other words, Apple may continue to work with Dialog until its future chip designs are finished.
The company’s semiconductor advances made last year with the introduction of the A11 Bionic chip powering the new iPhone 8 and iPhone X lines should trickle down to new iPads coming down the pike later this year, if a new Bloomberg repot is an indication.
A pair of updated Mac notebooks and a new desktop machine are in tow for release this year, all featuring Apple’s custom in-house designed coprocessors, according to Bloomberg’s sources.
