Tnmc will deliver the first 5nm chips for the 2020 iphone
Table of contents:
The most advanced processors of the moment, like Snapdragon 855 are made in 7nm. They make use of TSMC's 7 nanometer FinFET processing. Although the company is preparing to make the jump to 5 nm. At least in the case of next year's iPhone, this could already be the case. This is what is reported by various media.
TNMC to Deliver First 5 Nanometer Chips for 2020 iPhone
Reducing the size of the processor is something that most manufacturers are obsessed with. Since it generally allows an increase in its performance, in addition to a lower energy consumption.
New iPhone processors
TNMC is the company that is responsible for producing iPhone processors. The company is currently preparing to start shortly with the production of processors for the 2019 models. A process that will still be at 7 nm. Although in the case of next year's Apple phone, the situation will be different.
Since in this case we find that the manufacturing process would be at 5 nm. It was something that was rumored months ago, when it was said that Apple wanted to have 5 nm processors between 2020 and 2021.
So it seems like it would be real now. The first orders for the processors manufactured by TNMC in 5 nm should arrive at the beginning of next year, if we take into account these rumors. So the 2020 iPhone would be the first to be able to enjoy them. An important advance for Apple in this field.
