They can wait until moving onto 2nm as they have an advantage with their CPU's currently. By using chiplets now they can focus on providing more powerful GPU, neural engine etc. The cost of moving onto 2nm would decrease their advantage as the costs would result in price increases.First of all, it's 3rd generation. 1st is N3B, 2nd is N3E and than we have N3P and probably N3X. Anyway I'm pretty sure Apple will use N2 for A20. The competition is not sleeping and they can't skip 2nm for A20.
Why so many people come up with this type of comments whenever a piece of news or report talks about future process nodes? Don’t they know this 3nm, 2nm thing is pure marketing?What happens once we hit 1 nm? 1 nm Plus? 1 nm Pro?
Yeah, I also think it makes perfect sense to stick with the successive 3nm generation improvements (refinements) that TSMC provides while focusing on improving instructions per clock, better GPU architecture (M4 is using roughly the same as the M3), a better suited Neural Engine for Apple Intelligence, overall bandwidth and latency… those are just a few ideas, mere examples of what they can do while still using similar lithography on the 3nm family.The can wait until moving onto 2nm as they have an advantage with their CPU's currently.

Aww. Love you too! xxok ill wait for the iPhone XX.
Think I have this right:
2023 - A17 3nm, N3B (Pro models)
2024 - A18 3nm, N3E (all models)
2025 - A19 3nm, N3P (all models)
2026 - A20 3nm, N3P (all models)
2027 - A21 2nm, N2?

I wonder if the A20 Pro will have N2, similar to what happened with the A17.
there's a 100% tariff on them...I’m waiting for 0nm chips
Specifically, he said the chip will use TSMC's so-called Chip on Wafer on Substrate (CoWoS) packaging technology, which would allow for tighter integration of the chip's processor, unified memory, and Neural Engine.
Apple won't stay on the same node for 2 years/generations. Mark my words. A20 will be on N2.They can wait until moving onto 2nm as they have an advantage with their CPU's currently.

The new phones will be so fast, Safari will open the webpage before you've even thought about which site you want. Powered by Apple Intelligence.I'm never getting a new iphone again. I can't stand knowing that next year's phone might have a smaller nm process than the once I just bought!! Safari will be so snappy, it will be envy inducing.
