Next year's iPhone will use a 4nm chipset, the iPad Pros will get more advanced 3nm chips

02 July 2021
Intel has also secured a large order of 3nm chips from TSMC for laptop and server CPUs, however, the iPads should make it to market first.

No matter how small they will be they will be bosollete nuissance for a very simple reason.
Heating problems and too slow for procesing.
Best seen when gaming for long sesions.
On papper this chip is very powerfull but thats it.
Wen comes to real usage every half baked mediatek is far more better than this chip ever will be.
At least it wont overheat and slow down by android or windows system.
Compared to IOS where even a minesweeper game will burst your chip to crispy nutshell.

    AnonD-986036, 02 Jul 2021Can anyone tell me if A14 is more powerful or as powerful a... moreIt is powerful but only on paper i.e only in benchmarks (GeekBench and Wildfire)
    In real world, it gets exposed as Apple did not put any thermal cooling mechanism to keep the powerful processor cool. So it throttles and operate at lower performance than what it is capable of.

    The iOS software significantly fails to extract the real power of A14. It's similar to Mac OS not being able to extract the true power of M1 chip because of lack of application and service support (somethings that is readily available on Windows)

      Mediatek will easily beat this with their dimensity 2077

        Can anyone tell me if A14 is more powerful or as powerful as The snapdragon 888 or 888 Plus? Because from looking at apple's history of their a series chips and optimizations, usually a series chips are faster than qualcoom counterparts, crappynos, and even Kirin chips. So i wanna ask, is the A14 more powerful than current 5NM android chips like Kirim 9000, dragon 888, and exynos 2100? I am curious bcuz previously A series chips are way ahead

          yeah, highly doubt intel is going to jump from 14nm++++++++++++++++ to 3nm by next year.

            Intel chips on a 3nm node? Hmm...
