Far from being a secret, we all know that Apple uses its most efficient mobile processors in iPads, and it is that these small and at the same time so large devices are the most powerful iOS devices on the market, thus allowing them to perform a series of tasks that have been well suited for them. Valid to earn the nickname "Pro". Lor that we did not know until now is the manufacturing technology that the A10X processors hid of the latest iPad Pro.
By this we mean that according to the new discoveries, The A10X processor of the new iPad Pro range is the first made by TSMC in 10 nanometers. These processors are the best that an iOS device has ever assembled, and they are well deserved.
It has been the team of TechInsights who has discovered that this A10X processor is manufactured with a FinFET procedure in only 10nm, good news for all iOS users in general, since after the legal dispute between Qualcomm and Apple, everything indicates that Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company will be the sole supplier of the chips that Apple will mount in mobile devices, which is not bad news considering the poor result that Samsung processors have given in the iPhone 6s.
Meanwhile, the latest A9 and A10 processors that Apple has mounted on the iPhone and previous iPads were still being made at 16nm. In the header image we can see how the A10X processor occupies 96,4mm square, which is equivalent to 34% reduction in size found in the previous A9X and 9% smaller than the classic A9 processor that include the iPhone. This has resulted in 0,1 GHz more clock speed and more than double the L2 cache. Ultimately, any such advance is welcome.
