TSMC heats up the furnace, mass production of the A11 to start in April

We continue with the rumors around the iPhone that would arrive during 2017. As we have explained on occasion, the intention of the Cupertino company is to launch the classic "S" versions of both the iPhone 7 and the iPhone 7 Plus, accompanied by an edition special of the company's smartest phone that will honor the XNUMXth anniversary of its launch. Who would have thought when so many "analysts" foreshadowed his early death.

Another relevant aspect is that TSMC has remained as the sole producer of iPhone processors, relieving Samsung around the controversy over battery consumption. Well The North American firm seems to be preparing everything to start with the mass production of the A11 processor for the month of April.

The reduction will not be expected either, going from the 16nm of the current A10 processor that current phones include, including the red version of the iPhone 7, up to a spectacular 10nm. According to the leaks, the processor will be made using the FinFET procedure, so we would understand that the A11 will again be a "fusion" edition of the processor, composed of different types of technologies, with the intention not only of saving space, but also saving Energy.

The new iPhone 8 with OLED screen will have this processor, without a doubt, however, it will not be exclusive, apparently the "s" editions of future iPhone 7 will also include it, which makes us think that the battery, screen and the design will be the only notable differences between the options that Apple is going to offer to its users during the month of September, which will make us seriously consider whether or not it will be worth spending a little more than € 1.000 to get this version «so exclusive », Or on the contrary It will benefit the price of the iPhone 7s, reducing it slightly compared to the iPhone 7 on the day of its launch. 50 million A11 processors expect to be able to manufacture TSMC, they are not few.
