How the A11 chip will make the iPhone 8 the best performing mobile phone in the world




Apple has always been a smooth operator literally. Of all the criticisms thrown at the iPhone, one can never say that the phone doesn't perform almost flawlessly.

To achieve this, Apple develops its own silicon and optimizes the software to ensure a smooth iOS experience. 


And now it seems Apple will be raising the bar come 2017 as a new generation of mobile processors will arrive, and the iPhone 8’s chip will be one of the devices expected to pack an even faster and more efficient CPU.

Apple is expected to make the jump from 16nm chip technology to 10nm chip technology. TSMC will manufacture the 10nm A11 chip that will equip the iPhone 8 next year, a new Digitimes report, something we heard of before.



According to Digitimes, TSMC is expected to post a 3% sequential drop in consolidated revenues in the first quarter of 2017, thanks to Apple’s cutback in 16nm chip orders for the iPhone 7.

But the foundry’s 10nm process technology will soon start generating revenue. According to sources, 10nm manufacturing will start during the same quarter and should mitigate the impact of Apple’s cutting iPhone 7 chip orders.


The A10 Fusion chip used in the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus was better than anything competitors had out there even after man tests and comparisons and with the advent of the A11, it seems Apple will leave competitors even further in the dust.
