Apple is intensifying its efforts in developing the next-generation A20 series chips. This lineup comprises the standard A20 variant (internally codenamed Borneo) and the A20 Pro (internally codenamed Borneo Ultra). These chips are poised to be the pioneering mobile processors to utilize TSMC's state-of-the-art 2nm manufacturing technology. The A20 chip stands out with its groundbreaking advancements in both manufacturing techniques and architectural design. It integrates cutting-edge memory technology to minimize data transmission delays, boost energy efficiency, and elevate AI computational prowess, all while potentially reducing the chip's physical footprint.
When it comes to product integration, the A20 Pro will find its place in the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and the innovative iPhone Fold. Meanwhile, the standard A20 variant will power the iPhone 18 and iPhone 18 Air models. The introduction of the A20 series chips signifies a leap forward in terms of process technology, packaging, and memory architecture. These advancements position the A20 series to potentially outshine its predecessors, the A18 and A19 series, in every aspect.
