Apple has reportedly resumed the development of the iPhone SE 4, which was previously reported to have been halted or delayed owing to low demands for the mid-to-low-end iPhone models. According to an analyst, this model is likely to feature an in-house 5G chip, developed by Apple, replacing the Qualcomm ones, and if it succeeds, the company may consider using similar in-house chips for the iPad and Apple Watch, which have “lower technical requirements.” The analyst also suggests a display update over its predecessors…

MediaTek has announced the latest addition to its chipset lineup dubbed Dimensity 7200. It’s based on the same 2nd Gen TSMC 4nm process as the high-end Dimensity 9200 and features 5G support, game optimizations, and high battery efficiency. The octa-core CPU has two ARM Cortex-A715 performance cores clocked at up to 2.8GHz, and six Cortex-A510 efficiency cores. In raw performance, the Dimensity 7200 scores just above Snapdragon 7 Gen1 in Geekbench results, as per MediaTek. The graphics unit is a quad-core ARM Mali…

The latest report provides solid proof that the 4nm chip deal between Elon Musk-led Tesla and Taiwanese silicon giant TSMC has gone through. A few months ago, it was reported that Tesla placed a huge 4nm chip order at TSMC, choosing TSMC over Samsung. The 4nm chips will be used in Tesla cars’ self-driving systems in the future. According to DigiTimes Asia, the deal between Tesla and TSMC is now complete, making Tesla one of the seventh-largest clients of TSMC. Reportedly, TSMC’s Arizona facility will be the one…

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company will offer advanced 4-nanometer chips when its new $12 billion (roughly Rs. 97,500 crore) plant in Arizona opens in 2024, spurred by US customers including Apple to do so, Bloomberg News reported on Thursday. The firm is expected to announce the new plan when US President Joe Biden and Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo visit Phoenix for a ceremony next Tuesday, according to the report, citing people familiar with the matter.TSMC previously said it would make 20,000 wafers per…

Google's Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro were launched in India earlier this month. The company's latest Pixel-branded smartphones debuted with the next-generation Tensor G2 SoC, which was earlier reported to be built using Samsung's 4nm fabrication process. However, according to a new report, the Tensor G2 SoC is said to utilise a 5nm fabrication process instead of 4nm. Google at its keynote announcing the Pixel 7 series with the Tensor G2 SoC, claimed that the processor on the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro would offer a 60 percent…

The Pixel 7 and the Pixel 7 Pro, which were launched last week, use Samsung Foundry’s 4nm fabrication process and System LSI’s Exynos 5300 5G modem. The new chipset succeeds last year’s Tensor processor used in the Pixel 6 series and brings modest improvements in CPU and GPU performance. Google unveiled last week that its second-generation Tensor chipset focuses more on AI performance and security capabilities. Google VP Brian Rakowski said the Tensor G2 has better voice processing capabilities. It offers faster Google…

Qualcomm unveiled the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC during its Snapdragon Tech Summit in December last year. Now, the SoC manufacturing company is reportedly working on a new chip called Snapdragon 6 Gen 1. Ahead of official confirmation, a leak has tipped specifications of Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 SoC. The upcoming 4nm chip is said to have part number SM6450. It is tipped to support 5G networks and Qualcomm's Quick Charge 4+ fast charging.Known tipster Evan Blass (@evleaks) has posted a leaked screenshot suggesting specifications of…

After its teasers SoC last week, Qualcomm is announcing two new wearable chipsets today. To succeed the Snapdragon Wear 4100+ platform, Qualcomm announces the Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 and the W5+ Gen 1. Both SoCs are built on the 4nm process and represent a drastic improvement to Qualcomm’s offering for wearables. Qualcomm touts that its new wearable chipsets will offer up to 2X the performance using half as much power compared to the Snapdragon Wear 4100+ Platform. In typical scenarios, the W5+ can…
