Apple chip maker TSMC said that they will upgrade the chip manufacturing process from 10nm FinFET to 7nm FinFET this year. The new process will increase the processor speed by 20% and reduce power consumption by 40%. Although TSMC did not mention Apple, considering that It has been the main manufacturer of apple chips. This year's A12 chip is based on the 7nm process.
Apple's processor replacement every year will be greatly improved. Since the A8 chip in 2014, the apple processor technology has undergone 20nm design, 14nm/16nm design and 10nm design. Currently based on 10nm process is A11 Bionic processing. Regardless of its single-core performance, multi-core performance, or performance in AR, etc., it has reached industry-leading standards.
According to recent news, Apple will still release three iPhones this year, including a cheap model priced at around $550.
