iPhone 18 Pro Chip Leak Indicates Major GPU and Memory Bandwidth Improvements
MacRumors • • general
Key Points:
- An alleged solder joint diagram for Apple's A20 Pro chip reveals potential upgrades including a seven-core GPU, a wider 96-bit memory interface, and a larger 8MB L2 cache for efficiency cores.
- The chip is expected to feature a two and four core CPU configuration, with the GPU positioned at the top of the die and the CPU in the center.
- Efficiency cores' L2 cache is anticipated to increase from 6MB to 8MB, while performance cores maintain their 16MB L2 cache; the shared system level cache size remains unknown but is unlikely to decrease.
- The seven-core GPU marks a 16% increase from the six-core GPU in the A19 Pro, and the 50% wider memory interface could significantly enhance memory bandwidth and graphics performance.
- These upgrades suggest notable improvements in processing power and efficiency for the A20 Pro chip compared to its predecessor.
