Apple announced its new chipset A11 Bionic in September along with the iPhone X
and iPhone 8 duo. The company usually manufactures an X version of its
latest chipset for new iPads, so in the spring we should expect the
A11X.
According to industry insiders, this will be the first Apple chipset
with eight CPU cores and will be built on the TSMC 7nm technology
process.
The new octa-core CPU is expected to come with three powerful Monsoon
cores and five efficient Mistral cores. It should start shipping in the
first quarter next year, right in time for the iPad Pro 2018 series
launch.
The Taiwanese manufacturer is responsible for building all the Apple
SoC in the latest years. The close relationship is the main reason
Cupertino picked TSMC to keep developing the chips, with the A11X
expected to lay the ground for the 7 nm A12 chipset that is bound to
arrive in September 2018.
