It seems that Apple has the new Apple A17 practically ready, and it is that according to what we can read in WCCFTechit has been known that Apple would have put more priority on the energy efficiency of the new chip design than on its performanceso that, although the A17 will have a higher performance than its predecessor, the jump will be less than what many would expect.
This may not be entirely important for users of Apple devices, but it can be for rival manufacturers such as Qualcomm and Samsungwho have their own processors and may try to take the opportunity to get closer to or ahead of Apple in performance.
In principle, the node that will be used in these processors will be the 3-nanometer one from TSMC, a node that, although it has a 35% improvement in efficiency, It does not seem to have a notable performance improvement in the absence of data from the company.
Hopefully, along with this new node, Apple can also add some features that we should have seen this generation, as RayTracing would have been on the A16 GPU, something that ultimately was not possible.
