Vratislav Holub The world of technology is moving forward by leaps and bounds. Everything is improved year after year, or every now and then we can see some new thing that pushes the imaginary boundaries of possibilities a little further. Apple also has a strong position in this regard, in connection with chips. According to the latest report from the DigiTimes portal, the Cupertino giant should be keenly aware of this fact, as it is already negotiating with its exclusive supplier TSMC to prepare mass production of chips with a 3nm manufacturing process.

Mass production of these chips should start already in the second half of 2022. Although one year may seem like a long time, in the world of technology it is literally a moment. In the coming months, TSMC should start production of chips with the 4nm manufacturing process. Currently, almost all Apple devices are built on the 5nm manufacturing process. These are novelties such as the iPhone 12 or iPad Air (both equipped with the A14 chip) and the M1 chip. This year's iPhone 13 should offer a chip that will be based on the 5nm production process, but significantly improved compared to the standard. Chips with a 4nm manufacturing process will head into future Macs.
According to available data, the arrival of chips with a 3nm manufacturing process should bring 15% better performance and 30% better energy consumption. In general, it can be said that the smaller the process, the higher the chip's performance and the less energy intensive it will be. This is a huge advance, especially considering that in 1989 it was 1000 nm and in 2010 it was only 32 nm.
