Who will Manufacture Apple's Next SoC?SemiWiki - Daniel NenniAug. 11, 2014 |
Just to review: The brain inside the current Apple iPhone 5s is the A7 SoC manufactured by Samsung using a 28nm process. The A6 (iPhone 5) and A5 (iPhone 4s) are based on Samsung 32nm. The rest of the Apple SoCs also used Samsung processes. I think we can all now agree that the coming Apple A8 SoC (iPhone 6) will use the TSMC 20nm process. In order to properly postulate which process the Apple A9 will use let me share with you my observations, opinions, and experience on the topic.
