Apple chipmaker TSMC is apparently on track toward manufacturing its 2nm and 1.4nm chips, which could be found in future generations of Apple silicon-based products. The manufacturing time frames for mass production of 2nm and 1.4nm chips have now apparently been determined: Trial production of the 2nm node will begin at in the second half […]
If you think a three-nanometer fabrication process is small and power-efficient, chip manufacturer TSMC has publicly commented on its work on a 1.4nm fabrication technology that is likely destined to underpin future Apple silicon chips. In a slide (via SemiAnalysis’s Dylan Patel) from its Future of Logic panel, TSMC disclosed the official name of its […]
This should come in handy. Apple has silently made changes to its A12, A13, and S5 system-on-chips to alter the Secure Enclave in Fall 2020, to include a second-generation model of the Secure Enclave. The changes were apparently part of an update and were noted as updates to the Apple Platform Security pages spotted by […]
Over at its “Time Flies” media event, Apple announced its Apple Watch Series 6 smartwatch. The new model keeps the same design as the Series 4 and Series 5 models, but includes new internal improvements, new finishes, and an oximeter sensor. The units are available in 44mm and 44mm with an always-on Retina display, and […]
If nothing else, the A9 processor will offer a nice speed boost over its predecessor. That’s what a graph of the forthcoming processor’s performance seems to indicate, Apple’s upcoming A9 chip beating out Samsung’s 8-core chips with a single-core score of 2090 and a multi-core tally of 3569, compared to the respective averages of 1611 […]
