The rumors for the iPhone Apple will release next year have already started and there’s something potentially disappointing on the horizon.
N3B uses a 3-nanometer process, which means a huge number of transistors are to be found on the tiny chip. But, according to MacRumors, “ N3E has fewer EUV layers and lower transistor density than N3B, resulting in lower efficiency. N3B has also been ready for mass production for longer than N3E, but it has much lower yield.
Here’s the thing: Apple is scrupulous about ensuring its phones are fast, real performers at every level. It absolutely doesn’t seem likely that it will release a processor that doesn’t meet its requirements, so maybe it doesn’t matter if it uses a fabrication process that’s more affordable. But what is striking is this would be a different chip so if Apple called it A17 Pro, that would be a striking change. Of course, we don’t know what name Apple has in mind: A17 Pro SE, anyone?
The N3E process has also been corroborated by reliable analyst Jeff Pu, who claimed that alongside the processor, there could be an increase in RAM, from 6GB to 8GB. Maybe that means the new processor, even if less powerful in some ways, could add up to the same chip if extra RAM is provided. The good news is that at this stage, no final decisions will have been taken—even though they may only be days away. More as we have it.
