The a16 chip is 4 nanometers. The A16 processor refers to the processor name of a new phone that Apple will launch in 2022. The iPhone14 Pro and 14 Pro Max have A16 processors. The A16 processor is based on TSMC's 4nm process, and although the improvement of transistors at the process level is limited, the CPU large core is upgraded to Avalanche and small core (efficiency core) is upgraded to Blizzard, replacing the Firestorm Icestorm combination on A14 and A15 respectively.
The Apple 16 chip is 4 nanometers.
Apple's A16 chip uses TSMC 4nm process to build, and the previous generation of A15, in fact, A16 also has two versions, that is, we say the residual blood version and full blood version, both of which use 6 core design, it seems that Apple does not intend to use a big three in four small core architecture like Qualcomm and Mediatek. The design of two large cores and four energy efficient cores was maintained.
