Strong A14T chip made using the 5nm technology of TSMC First Apple Silicon iMac Said to Feature

 



The proposal by Apple to add in-house chips to its Mac line is slowly gaining momentum, although it has been confirmed that the MacBook line will be the first models expected to be handled by this new generation of chipsets. That doesn't mean that the iMac will be left out on an Apple Silicon, however because it looks like it will be equipped with a new A14T processor, according to the latest article.

A14T Made on the 5nm node of TSMC would possibly be paired with Apple's Tooo Custom-Made GPU

A China Times article addresses the desktop-class A14T chip codenamed 'Mt. Jade 'and it is supposed to be the first in-house silicon from Apple for its high-end Mac desktop family. The report also mentions that a self-developed GPU, codenamed 'Lifuka', will appear on the A14T.Earlier leaked data revealed that Apple wants to cut AMD GPU support, suggesting that its own GPU could be used in future products, so China Times is not out of the ordinary talking about creating a new graphics processor.

We should expect some impressive performance gains from the A14T chip, because it will be made using TSMC's 5nm architecture, just like the A14 Bionic used in the iPad Air 4 and iPhone 12 series. The inclusion of this custom silicon can also suggest that the chassis of the upcoming iMac can be further slimmed down by Apple, probably adopting a fanless design as it did with the now discontinued 12-inch MacBook. Sadly, it's extremely doubtful that this year we'll see a new iMac.

It is also not clear which type of iMac will be used for the new A14T chip. Keep in mind that Apple continues to sell its online store's 27-inch and 21.5-inch iMac models, and while they feature Intel processors, they could soon be phased out for something more promising, effective, efficient and reliable. We say powerful because it was found that the upcoming SoC for upgraded iPad Pro models performed similarly to a fully-decked 16-inch MacBook Pro featuring an Intel 8-core processor, according to estimated A14X Bionic performance results measured based on the differences of previously released A-series chips.

Looking at these findings, when it shows up on the next iMac, probably in 2021, we can expect ground-breaking results from the A14T, so let us keep our fingers crossed and see what Apple has to offer in the coming months.

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.
