Apple To Embed A11 Chip To iPhone 8 And iPhone 7S Models

Apple is going to launch three models for the first time since launching its flagship iPhone. The three models are speculated as iPhone 8 or iPhone X, iPhone 7S and iPhone 7S Plus. Amongst the models, the premium iPhone 8 is expected to have a variety of features which might not be available on iPhone 7S and iPhone 7S Plus.

Although iPhone 8 will be different from the remaining two iPhone 7s models, all the devices hold one thing in common i.e. A11 chip. The Cupertino-based company has decided to upgrade it's upcoming as well as current smartphone range with the latest generation chipset. And this is the reason, iPhone 7s and iPhone 7S Plus will be embedded with the powerful chipset.

Recently, some of the reports indicated that the chipmakers were experiencing low production with 10nm CPUs which will power Samsung Galaxy S8 and iPhone 8. But a new report is coming from China which indicated that TSMC is ready to start the production of powerful chipset A11 next month.

As reported by Digitimes, the volume production of A11 will begin in April. The company is preparing to mass-produce 50 million units before July and maintain the capacity to manufacture minimum 100 million chips before the end of the year. This important detail clarifies that Apple has planned to the user faster, more power-efficient chip in all of its 2017 iPhones and not just in the iPhone 8.

Besides, the reports also highlight that the upcoming A11 chips are built on a 10nm FinFET process with packing wafer-level integrated fan-out technology. In short, the chip is designed in compact size to offer better performance and utilizing less energy. This is not the first time the company has upgraded its chipset. We have witnessed that Apple follows a strict standard to upgrade its processor timely in its new devices every year.
