The main difference between the 3-nanometer chip and the 4-nanometer chip is the advanced level of the manufacturing process. The process process refers to the technology and process used in the chip manufacturing process, and the smaller the process number, the more advanced the process.
< br >
A 3-nanometer chip is a chip made using a 3-nanometer process, while a 4-nanometer chip is a chip made using a 4-nanometer process. Therefore, the 4-nanometer chip is slightly behind in the manufacturing process compared to the 3-nanometer chip.

More advanced process processes often mean higher integration, lower power consumption and higher performance. Therefore, the 3-nanometer chip may have higher performance and lower power consumption compared to the 4-nanometer chip. In addition, more advanced process processes can also provide higher transistor density, which can accommodate more transistors in the same chip area.

However, it should be noted that the number of process processes can not completely determine the performance of the chip, other factors such as architecture design, material selection, etc., will also have an important impact on the performance of the chip. Therefore, it is not accurate to compare the performance of the chip only by the number of process processes, and other factors need to be taken into account.
The gap between Apple's 4 nm and 3 nm is mainly reflected in the process. The nanoscale gap means smaller transistors and higher integration, which will lead to higher performance and lower power consumption.
Because of the reduction in transistor size, the circuit will also be faster and more energy efficient. In addition, the smaller process also provides more space, allowing the chip to accommodate more transistors, increasing computing and storage capacity. Therefore, the gap between Apple's 4 nm and 3 nm is very significant in terms of chip performance and power consumption.
