Leak Indicates Apple Watch S11 Will Use S9/S10 T8310 Architecture

Internal code points to a 64-bit dual-core chip with a four-core Neural Engine for this year’s watches without major performance leaps.

Overview

  • The leak of Apple’s internal code confirms that the S11 SiP carries over the S9/S10’s T8310 microarchitecture.
  • The chip is described as a 64-bit dual-core processor with a four-core Neural Engine, second-generation UWB support, and 64GB of storage.
  • Though the core design remains unchanged, Apple could still introduce physical packaging refinements similar to the S10’s thinner profile.
  • Device codenames in the leak map to the upcoming Series 11 (N227/N228), Ultra 3 (N230), as well as future Series 12 (N237/N238) and Ultra 4 (N240) models.
  • The Series 11, Ultra 3, and SE 3 are expected to debut at Apple’s September event, with a full microarchitecture redesign likely reserved for the S12 in 2026.
