If the leaker ShrimpApplePro's information is correct, the A16 chip, which will be found in the iPhone 14, will have a 5 nm engraving, similar to the A15 chip seen in the iPhone 13. On the other hand, the future Mac's M2 punch would be capable of 3 nm engraving.
Is it always a 5 nm print for the A16?
The leaker, who claims to have obtained material from a "reliable source," provides some details on the A16. Some improvements to the processor, graphics, and memory would be included in the device. However, it would not be a significant deviation from the A15. Apple will use TSMC's N5P manufacturing process, implying that the new device would be a little upgrade from what had previously been reported.
A change should be made to the RAM with the use of LPDDR5 memory. In comparison, the A15 uses LPDDR4 memory. The new version is up to one and a half times faster and saves up to 30 percent more energy. It is thus not inconceivable that there will be an improvement in the iPhone 14's battery life.
For its part, the M2 would be Apple's first device with 3 nm engraving. Apple would so move from 5 nm to 3 nm, completing the 4 nm process. It would be Apple's first device using ARMv9 architecture.
