Leaks: With the use of "Apple" and "AMD" technologies of 5 and 3 nanometers in manufacturing

Raise processor efficiency 33% ... and reduce energy consumption by 50%

5 and 3 nm processors will be introduced instead of the 10 and 7 nm processors currently used.

From the source

Leaks published by the technology website, Digital Trend, showed that the processor industry is expected to witness significant changes by 2022, in which Apple and AMD processors will make remarkable progress, as the two companies will introduce processors made with two five and three nanometers technologies. , Instead of the currently used 10 and seven nanometers.

"Digital Trend" - according to sources who participated in the annual symposium on processor technology recently organized by the "Taiwan" company for the semiconductor industry, which is the main partner of "Apple" in the manufacture of processors - that the move to the two new technologies will raise the efficiency rate of processors to rates that can be To reach 33%, with a decrease in energy consumption by 50%, in the category of “Silicon A” processors from “Apple”, and “Rizen 6000” processors from “AMD”.

Raise efficiency

According to the leaks, by 2022, Apple's devices will be working with processors made with three-nanometer technology, that is, the technology that makes the distance between each "transistor" and another on the processor, down to only three nanometers, instead of the current 10 and seven nanometers, and five nanometers. , Scheduled to move to next year.

This reduction means adding more "transistors" to the processor chip, which raises its capacity and efficiency in processing, and performing various mathematical operations.

The leaks estimate that Apple’s use of three-nanometer technology will make the iPads, Macs, and iPhones operate at a higher efficiency of up to 33%, compared to the currently operating models.

Dual strategy

The leaks indicated that this change is not the only one expected, as "Apple" will move, perhaps for the first time, to adopting a double-goal manufacturing strategy, that is, seeking to raise the efficiency of the processor, while at the same time reducing its energy consumption rate, thus achieving at the same time an increase. The efficiency of the battery and prolonged life, an approach different from what was used by «Apple», when it was concerned with raising the efficiency of the processor only, regardless of the efficiency of the battery.

In this regard, the leaks indicated that "Apple" aims to reduce the power consumption of the processor by 50%, which means higher battery efficiency along with higher processor efficiency.

Silicon A

The three-nanometer technology will work with Apple's "Silicon A" series of processors, which are based on the ARM architecture of which the current generation works with iPhones and iPads.

It is expected that it will be run in Mac devices soon, and be produced with five nanometer technology, to be launched in 2021, or perhaps in the iPhone 12 phones expected to be launched next October, and will achieve an increase in performance of 15% and a reduction in energy consumption of 30%.

Ryzen 6000

In addition, the latest AMD processors are still standing at the Ryzen 4000, which received a lot of attention when it was launched several months ago. Nevertheless, the leaks of "Digital Trend" jumped directly to the "Rizen 6000" as the most prominent event expected during By 2022, surpassing the "Rizen 5000" expected to be launched next year.

It is expected that the "Ryzen 6000" will be produced with a five-nanometer technology, and based on the quad-core AMD Zain 4 architecture.

«Navi»

According to the leaks, the processor currently bears the codename "Raphael", in which AMD will abandon the current "Vega" technology used in graphics processing, and switch to the new, second-generation "Navi" graphics technology, which works independently of the processor, And it has additional features, such as real-time ray tracing.

The leaks indicated that this planning will make the "Ryzen 6000" a massive processor, directed mainly to applications and systems known as "CVML", or computer vision and machine learning systems.

Gains

The leaks of the "Digital Trend" website pointed out that the change to be made by the company "Apple" will enhance its gains, and perhaps make it change the rules of competition with other major processor manufacturers, especially Intel and AMD, and make it excel in computer processors. Desktop and mobile, not just in smartphones.
