iPhone 14 is not much more powerful than iPhone 13″

Analyst Ming-chi Kuo said that Apple still uses the 5 nm process for the A16 Bionic chip, like on the iPhone 12 and 13.

According to a well-known analyst of TF International Securities, it will not be until 2023 that the 3 nm and 4 nm fab wafers will be mass-produced. Therefore, iPhone 14 will continue to use the A16 chip manufactured on the 5 nm process. In addition, it is likely that the two versions of iPhone 14 and 14 Max still use the A15 Bionic chip, while the two new Pro series models are equipped with the A16 generation.

ShrimpApplePro, the Twitter account that often gives accurate information about Apple’s unreleased products, also said that the A16 Bionic chip will not be built on the 4 nm process but an improved N5P, which increases CPU and GPU performance. , and upgrade the RAM to the faster LPDDR5 standard. However, the performance of Apple’s new chip will not be much stronger than the previous generation. The A15 chip is only 10% more powerful than the A14, so the A16 is no exception.

It’s unusual for Apple to use the same manufacturing process three years in a row, as it often pioneers process transitions to ensure the iPhone stays ahead of the competition in processing power. The delay is partly due to TSMC – Apple’s chip manufacturing partner – experiencing technology problems, as well as being affected by a global shortage of semiconductors.

Currently, Apple has been surpassed by Qualcomm, MediaTek and Samsung when all have announced new 4nm chip lines. However, both ShrimpApplePro and Ming-chi Kuo think that the 4 nm process of the above companies does not have many improvements compared to N5P and the performance difference is only very low. Therefore, A16 even using N5P can still lead in performance.

The iPhone 14 generation is said to have four models including iPhone 14, 14 Max, 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max. The product is expected to be released on September 13, but is behind the production schedule, so there is a risk of being delayed like the iPhone 12 2020. Mr. Kuo also said, the new generation Macbook Air, is expected to come out. launched with the iPhone 14, will still use the current M1 chip, and the M2 series will be delayed until next year.
