Overview
- Multiple outlets, citing Taiwan’s Economic Daily, estimate the A20 at about $280 per unit, which could make it the most expensive smartphone chip to date.
- The processor is reported to use TSMC’s N2P 2nm node with first‑generation nanosheet (GAA) transistors, targeting higher logic density and better efficiency.
- Apple has reportedly reserved roughly half of TSMC’s initial 2nm capacity, tightening supply for rivals such as Qualcomm and MediaTek.
- Reports say Apple is moving from InFO to WMCM packaging, integrating separate CPU, GPU, and Neural Engine dies in one module for more configuration options and finer power control.
- Per‑unit pricing and detailed specs remain unconfirmed by Apple or TSMC, but analysts note the higher silicon cost could add pricing pressure to Apple’s high‑end iPhones.
