Reportedly, Apple A15 Bionic will use TSMC's N5P development process for the 2021 iPhone 13 Series


Apple A15 Bionic Will Reportedly Use TSMC’s N5P Manufacturing Process for the 2021 iPhone 13 Series

Despite Apple sticking with the same 6-core configuration for several years now the A14 Bionic made on the 5nm node of TSMC brings a large number of improvements over the A13 Bionic in both computing and graphics performance increases. This only means that from next year's A15 Bionic, which is rumoured to be included in the 2021 iPhone 13 family, we should expect great stuff. Apple is not supposed to move to the 3nm process from TSMC, according to a new article, but that doesn't mean it will have advantages over its predecessor.

The A15 Bionic development process is expected to begin in the third quarter of 2021.

A China Times report believes that the A15 Bionic will be generated at the N5P node of TSMC. TSMC has been said to be designing three versions of its 5nm node for those who don't know. One, followed by the 5nm+ architecture, was the standard version, and finally, but certainly not least, the improved 5nm process. We think this 'improved' 5nm node is the N5P method of TSMC, and this is the technology that will eventually be used to manufacture the A15 Bionic in mass.

Speaking of mass production, the article states that the production process will commence in the third quarter of next year, so from the look of things, TSMC and Apple have already got the engine going so that when the iPhone 13 series is supposed to arrive, there are no unnecessary delays in 2021. Looking at how, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, smartphone producers had to scramble around looking for manufacturing solutions, Apple is likely to prepare ahead in case anything like this occurs in the near future.

TSMC is also claimed to have received orders for its 2nm process in addition to its N5P node, with the probable customer being Apple, but at this time it is not verified by the China Times. By setting up a $850 million contract to mass produce the Snapdragon 875 and the Snapdragon X60 5G modems, Samsung managed to persuade Qualcomm, But according to a previous report, it will be difficult for the Korean manufacturer to beat its foundry rival by 2030 at the speed at which TSMC is leading. We're going to have to see what kind of surprises Samsung delivers in 2021, but it looks like all A15 Bionic orders are going to go to TSMC again for now.

When compared to the A14 Bionic, how much of a difference in performance and efficiency do you think the A15 Bionic would bring? Tell us in the comments below.

Night Mode on iPhone: Everything You Need to Know

Image
The newest iPhones from Apple, iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max, are fitted with a new feature called Night mode, designed to take crisp, clear pictures even if lighting conditions, such as at night, are low.   Unfortunately, Night mode is not supported on the   iPhone SE   or   iPhone XR . It remains an exclusive feature for the ‌iPhone 11‌ line of phones. As the name suggests, Night mode allows you to take pictures at night, with lighting that has never been possible on an iPhone before, thanks to new hardware and new machine learning algorithms. Although Night Mode brightens photos, it also preserves the feeling of night time, balancing an image's light and dark elements. For a while now, Android smartphone manufacturers such as Google and Samsung have had unique modes to brighten up evening shots, and Apple is on equal footing with these other smartphone cameras with the 2019 iPhones. What is Night Mode? Night mode is an automatic setting that take...

Best 2021 Xbox controllers: Get the advantage of these third-party and official pads with these

Image
  (Pocket-lint) - The Xbox controller has a pretty remarkable lineage already - following the very unusual design embraced by the original console's chunky gamepad, the Xbox 360 introduced a new type that's stood the test of time. It has been updated only marginally over the Xbox One years, and for the Xbox Series X and S as well, it has remained very similar. That's a testament to a great deal of architecture, but it also has some limitations. Picking up a new controller might be a game-changer, because it's not quite the right shape for you, or whether you want some extra buttons and features.
