Leaker claims iPhone 18 Pro chip will have 7 GPU cores and faster RAM
9to5Mac • • general
Key Points:
- A Chinese leaker shared images of circuit diagrams for the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro, suggesting the new A20 Pro chip may feature seven GPU cores, an increase from the previous model.
- The diagrams indicate the A20 Pro will retain six CPU cores with two high-performance and four efficiency cores, but the L2 cache for efficiency cores is likely increased from 6 MB to 8 MB.
- The GPU core count is inferred to be most likely seven, based on solder-ball positions and layout analysis, though six or eight cores remain possibilities.
- Fixed Focus Digital predicts the A20 Pro chip will be 18% faster and 30% more power-efficient than its predecessor.
- While the leaker has some credibility, the conclusions are indirect inferences and should be considered informed guesses rather than confirmed facts.
