Mobile processors that Apple uses in his iPhoneand iPads, have been considered one of the best, if not the best, in the world for many years. Moreover, their level is likely to increase significantly again this year, as according to available information they will change from the 7nm chips used in iPhonech XR, XS, 11 and 11 Pro, to the 5nm chips that will become the heart of the iPhones 12. What does this mean for ordinary mortals? 

In simple terms, we could say that the smaller the number in front of nanometers, the better the chips are, because they are not only smaller, but also more energy-efficient and faster, because all their transistors are physically closer together. In other words, this means that the new type of processors will bring higher performance and longer battery life, which is still key for many users. It is also very interesting that the iPhones 12 should be the first phones on the market to be equipped with 5nm processors. The same situation occurred in 2018, when the iPhone XS with the new 7nm processors were the first to appear on store shelves. Although the A7 Bionic was not revealed as the first mobile 12nm chipset, because AppThis lead was taken by Huawei (specifically the Kirin 980), but the race to be the first to launch a smartphone is on.one with 7nm chipset to sell, nakonec Apple after all, he won, making an indelible mark in the history of mobile processors. 

About the production of a 5nm processor, whichonealmost 100% name A14 Bionic, will, as usual, be provided by the Taiwanese chip manufacturer TSMC, with which Apple has been cooperating for many years, and even exclusively for the last few years. After all, it is precisely thanks to TMSC and its technologies that it can afford to set trends in the world of mobile processors, since there are few similarly reliable manufacturers who would be able to Applem to cooperate at the same high level. As for the start of the production of new processors, according to the available information, it is classically scheduled for the second quarter of this year.
