For the first time Apple Chipmaker is revealing insights into the future applications of its Advanced 1.4nm Chips and the design behind this 1.4nm Chips technology.
As we all know, TSMC is actively working on this advanced 1.4nm chip fabrication technology, This position is to be the foundation for upcoming Apple silicon chips. TSMC has officially disclosed the name of this Advanced 1.4nm as “A14,” and it is anticipated to succeed the “N2” 2nm chips in the near future.
Rumors suggest that the N2 will enter mass production by late 2025, followed by the N2P in late 2026. Following this timeline it is assumed that the A14 chip will likely Launch post-2026.
Apple holds the distinction of being the first company to Use TSMC’s 3nm technology. This technology was used by apple and was integrated into the A17 Pro chip which was featured in the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max.
Apple introduced its latest chip technology in the iPhone before extending it to the iPad and Mac lineups.
iPhone Chip Technology:
- iPhone XR and XS (2018): A12 Bionic (7nm, N7)
- iPhone 11 lineup (2019): A13 Bionic (7nm, N7P)
- iPhone 12 lineup (2020): A14 Bionic (5nm, N5)
- iPhone 13 Pro (2021): A15 Bionic (5nm, N5P)
- iPhone 14 Pro (2022): A16 Bionic (4nm, N4P)
- iPhone 15 Pro (2023): A17 Pro (3nm, N3B)
- iPhone 16 Pro (2024): “A18” (3nm, N3E)
- “iPhone 17 Pro” (2025): “A19” (2nm, N2)
- “iPhone 18 Pro” (2026): “A20” (2nm, N2P)
- “iPhone 19 Pro” (2027): “A21” (1.4nm, A14)
The Apple M1 series chip is based on the A14 Bionic, utilizing TSM’s N5 node. On the other hand, the M2 and M3 series employ the N5P and N3B nodes, respectively. Apple’s recently launched Apple Watch features the S9 chip with the N4P node. For the Apple Watch S4 and S5 chips, the N7 node is utilized, while the S6, S7, and S8 chips use the N7P node.
