Apple will be launching its new iPhone 12 series this year with Apple’s new A14 Bionic chips based out of 5nm chips which will be developed none other than TSMC. A Twitter user @L0vetodream believes that the Taiwanese chipmaker will ship 80 million units of A14 chips to Apple in 2020.
The Cupertino giant’s iPhone 12 series will be the first 5G capable iPhone series powered by the A14 Bionic chipset along with Qualcomm’s X60 5G modem. But, however, 80 million is a huge amount and so when reports are coming that Apple will be shipping 15-20 million units of iPhone 12 devices in 2020, so, why such large quantities?
This is most probably because even though Apple is going to ship less than half of the total A14 chips for iPhone 12 series, it plans to use them in its wide range of products including iPads, iMacs, Mac Minis and the ARM-based Macs which could use the A14X Bionic chipset. As Wccftech points out, that these 5nm based A14 chips will use feature a total of 12 cores.
Also, it’s still unclear whether Apple will be using in-house Apple chips for the 2020 MacBooks but a possibility obviously remains. However, you can take the rumour with a pinch of salt as already Apple has refreshed the iPad Pros and MacBook Air but new generation always remains a possibility maybe for the iMac, Mac Mini or other devices.
Truly, the transition to ARM-based SoCs so fast is a bit tough but having a large number of 5nm chips will help Apple to achieve its dream to make a unified Apple ecosystem with ARM-based SoCs in the near future.
