Days ahead of Apple’s September 9 “Surprise and Shine” event, a fresh die-shot leak of the **A20 Pro** chip has surfaced, revealing a redesigned internal layout, a record GPU core count, and packaging changes that could meaningfully boost gaming and graphics performance on the [iPhone](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPhone) 18 Pro lineup.

## A20 Pro vs A19 Pro: What’s Reportedly Changing

| Component | A20 Pro (Leaked) | A19 Pro |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **GPU Cores** | 7-core | 6-core |
| **CPU Configuration** | 2 performance + 4 efficiency | 2 performance + 4 efficiency |
| **Performance Core L2 Cache** | 16MB | 16MB |
| **Efficiency Core L2 Cache** | 8MB | 6MB |
| **Memory Bus Width** | 96-bit | Narrower (stacked packaging) |
| **Packaging** | WMCM | InFO_PoP |

## Apple A20 Pro: Exclusive Leaks

The headline change is the jump to a **7-core GPU**, which would mark the highest GPU core count ever seen on an iPhone chip. That upgrade is made possible by a shift to WMCM (Wafer-Level Multi-Chip Module) packaging, replacing Apple’s older InFO_PoP setup. Instead of stacking memory dies directly on top of the SoC, WMCM places them beside it — freeing up space for a wider 96-bit memory bus while sticking with the more affordable LPDDR5X standard rather than jumping to pricier LPDDR6.

Interestingly, Apple appears to be holding the CPU core count steady at 2 performance + 4 efficiency cores, suggesting the company is prioritizing power efficiency over simply adding more cores — a strategy that’s let Apple stay competitive on single-core and multi-core performance without core-count inflation. The efficiency cores do get a cache bump, though, growing from 6MB to 8MB of L2 cache, which should help with smoother multitasking and background efficiency.

Combined, more GPU cores, a wider memory bus, and increased cache point toward a chip built for stronger sustained graphics performance — good news for anyone hoping for a real jump in mobile gaming and graphics-heavy apps on the iPhone 18 Pro and Apple’s upcoming first foldable iPhone.

Of course, this is all based on an unofficial die-shot leak, so exact clock speeds, Neural Engine details, and real-world benchmarks remain unconfirmed until Apple’s official unveiling.
