TSMC will begin churning out Apple’s next generation A11-series processors for the next-generation iPhone in April, local reports claim, confirming December speculation from BlueFin Research Partners.
Speed and efficiency
Apple develops its own bespoke version of an ARM reference chip for iOS processors. Today’s report claims the processor is manufactured using a 10 nanometer process, so it’s reasonable to expect high performance and efficiency from devices powered using the chip.
Apple’s existing 64-bit A10 series chip is manufactured using 16 nanometer process, so it’s reasonable to assume the new A11 will deliver significant performance gains, presumably without impacting battery life.
