Apple is expected to use advanced 3nm technology for its upcoming A19 and A19 Pro chips in the iPhone 17, promising improved performance and efficiency.
Samsung will unveil its 3nm and 4nm technologies at the VLSI Symposium 2023 in June, showcasing the benefits of its SF3 and SF4X processes. The SF3 process is said to be 22 percent faster than SF4 while operating at the same power limit and 34 percent more efficient when running at the same frequency and transistor count. SF4X offers a 10 percent performance improvement and 23 percent power-efficiency improvement compared to SF4. Samsung's latest technologies will compete with TSMC's N4P and N4X nodes.
