Original title: 3nm mobile phone chip is coming! Performance increased by 30%, power consumption reduced by 50%, Apple debut!
Although there has been no major innovation in the appearance of mobile phones in recent years, it has almost fallen into the dead cycle of homogenization, but in terms of mobile phone configuration, especially the most core processor, it can be described as advancing by leaps and bounds, and there is a qualitative improvement every year. Whether it is the industry boss Qualcomm, or MediaTek, which once fell into the trough, it has been making efforts in the past two years, and the mobile phone flagship chip launched has performed fiercely
Especially Qualcomm, after experiencing the pull-across of the Snapdragon 888 and Snapdragon 8 Gen1, the subsequent launch of the Snapdragon 8+, as well as the Snapdragon 8 Gen2 commonly equipped with this year's flagship mobile phones, have reached a new height in performance. The running score of the Android flagship mobile phone equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen2 is close to 130W
A year ago, we were still lamenting that the mobile phone score exceeded 1 million, which shows that the progress of processor performance is very obvious. At the same time, the Snapdragon 8 Gen2 and Dimensity 9000+ GPUs also support real-time ray tracing functions only available in high-end PC discrete graphics cards, pushing the performance of mobile games to a new height. After the Snapdragon 888, users waited for 2 years and finally waited for a flagship that could be bought
But Ash still said that, wait for the party will never suffer. According to the latest news, this year's mobile phone chip will usher in a big breakthrough, that is, the 3nm process will achieve mass production! On December 29, TSMC will build a new engineering base at the Fab 18 in Tainan Science Park
The 3nm mass production and expansion ceremony was held, Nanke 18 plant is a 5nm and 3nm production base, of which the fifth to ninth phases of the plant will be put into mass production of 3nm process. In addition, Samsung also announced the start of mass production of 3nm process and demonstrated the world's first mass-produced 3nm chip built by 3nm GAA architecture process technology. Compared to 5nm chips, 3nm chips have 35% less area
It has achieved a 30% increase in performance and a 50% reduction in power consumption, and if nothing else, the performance of the Snapdragon 8 Gen2 is not powerful enough after the release of the 3nm flagship chip. The first mobile phone with a 3-nanometer chip is currently the biggest possibility of Apple
The iPhone 15 series, which is expected to be released in September this year, is expected to debut the A17 processor created by TSMC or Samsung's 3nm process. Because last year's A16 chip performance was not very powerful, and even lost to Snapdragon 8 Gen2 and Dimensity 9000+ in terms of GPU, this time the A17 chip will be a shame. Of course, Android will also follow up with the 3nm flagship chip, but slightly later than the iPhone 15!
