A16 Bionic: the processor reveals the secrets of the Apple iPhone 14

The next generation of Apple mobile phones will go on sale in September with the presentation of the lineup. Apple iPhone 14. However, the leaks show us what to expect from these iOS smartphones, including the new processor. Apple A16 Bionic until 2022.

The preliminary information concerns the processor present in the more expensive Apple iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro Max models. This is because the base models must use the same A 15 Bionic as the current iPhone 13 models.

Apple A16 Bionic can save TSMC’s 5nm lithography

First, as mentioned above, only the “Pro” models will get the new Apple processor. In particular, according to leaks, A16 Bionic is designed for iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max models.

On the other hand, the base models of the Apple iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max should receive an optimized version of the current Apple A15 Bionic chipset. However, our highest expectations are for the next generation processor.

A16 Bionic could debut with TSMC’s new 4nm lithography

It should be noted that for this processor, information leaks indicated a new build process that was more efficient than the current standard. In particular, A16 Bionic may debut with a new process 4 nm (lithograph) from TSMS.

However, new information provided by one of the liqueurs more prolific in dealing with the Cupertino giant, now opposes this thesis. Indeed, according to his testimony, the A16 Bionic will keep the lithography at 5nm.

From a fairly reliable source, but take this one with a large grain of MSG. A16 Bionic will continue to use 5nm from TSMC N5P. From the list I got from the “TSMCFF5” source, the upgrades are slightly better CPU, LPDDR5 RAM, and better GPU. (1/3) pic.twitter.com/lYebcki94F

Note, however, that a leak Apple seems to be questioning this choice, as 4nm lithography is already relatively common. Also, the source says the A16 could probably be an improved A15 with some improvements.

More graphics, better RAM and more (a little) power on the A16 Bionic

No 4nm. In case you didn’t know, Samsung and TSMC 4nm is just 5nm with a bit of salt and pepper… that makes sense when we’ve heard so much about the A15 rebrand but not the A16. The list also includes “TSMCFF7”, the A13 bionic processor. (2/3)

The main improvements of the new processor will be support for the LPDDR5 RAM standard, which is faster and more efficient. In addition, it will feature optimized graphics performance that will make the iPhone 14 Pro even better for gaming and entertainment.

In addition, we will have some improvements in processing power, even if they are discrete. However, this processor will provide advantages over the current model and will be present in the Apple iPhone 14 Pro, which will appear in September.

By the way, above we see the proposed design of the front panel for the Pro models with significant cutout changes. This is one of the most publicized rumors and hypotheses in recent months, but it’s still a rumor.
