It would be a huge upgrade in power and performance.

What you need to know


Apple is reportedly set to adopt TSMC's 3nm processor next year.
Nikkei reports the new chip will debut in an iPad from the company next year.
The 3nm process offers 10-15% boosts in performance and up to 30% reduced power usage.


A new report says that new iPads coming from Apple next year, possibly the iPad Pro, will feature TSMC's new 3nm processor technology for a huge upgrade in performance and power consumption.

From Nikkei Asia:


  Apple and Intel have emerged as the first adopters of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.'s next-generation chip production technology ahead of its deployment as early as next year, Nikkei Asia has learned.


The report says both are testing chips with 3nm production technology, with chips expected to hit the market next year. The 3nm measurement refers to the gaps between transistors on a chip, the smaller the gap, the better the chip. Currently, the iPad Air and ...
