The new iPad Pro A10X chip is the first 10nm TSMC chip, smallest iPad SoC die size to date

<div class="feat-image">(https://9to5mac.files.wordpress.com/2017/06/a10x-chip.jpg?quality=82&strip=all&w=1482&h=740)</div><p>Apple’s new 10.5-inch iPad Pro and 12.9-inch iPad Pro features the latest iteration in Apple’s processor and GPU design, packaged into the A10X SoC. Apple’s website touts 30-40% performance improvements over the previous iPad chip, the A9X.</p>
<p>TechInsights has analyzed the chip (http://www.techinsights.com/about-techinsights/overview/blog/10nm-rollout-marching-right-along/) and confirmed that the SoC is fabricated using a 10 nanometer process, whereas the A10 and A9X use 16mm processes. This results in a high-performance chip that is also the smallest iPad SoC die size to date …</p>
