News & Reviews:   3nm chip

According to 9to5Mac, the Apple A17 Bionic chip for iPhone 15 series may focus more on battery life rather than processing power improvement. The information comes from a statement made by TSMC's chairman when asked about the company's 3nm chips.

TSMC's 3nm chips will soon enter commercial production this week. As the primary customer of the semiconductor manufacturer, Apple could first use the 3nm chips for upcoming M2 Pro chips that are expected to power the updated MacBook Pro and Mac mini models.

Samsung is said to start the mass production for its 3nm chips next week. If it did happen, the Korean tech giant would be ahead of TSMC, which has announced that its production will only start in the second half of 2022.
