Although the A16 processor is still one of the most powerful mobile phone processors because of its good foundation, frankly speaking, Apple did squeeze some toothpaste this year.
In this regard, some internal media broke the news that Apple’s earliest planned A16 originally had an epoch-making upgrade rate, but in the end due to a fatal engineering error, the actual chip consumed more power than the software simulation, which in turn caused the chip to overheat and battery life. Attenuation, Apple had to give up.
It is reported that Apple originally planned to introduce ray tracing technology for the A16 GPU, and the chip should also be TSMC’s 4nm process, but none of this happened.
After the confusion, Apple had to move out an A16, which is very similar to the A15, to make a difference. The original idea may take a while to polish.
In fact, since 2019, the Apple design team has lost dozens of senior talents or managers. At present, the No. 1 person of the Apple chip team has not changed, and it is still Johny Srouji.
