Lecture on A18 and A18 Pro for iPhone 16 Series

Introduction

• Discussion of leaked speeds for A18 and A18 Pro
  • Applies to iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max
• Historical context: Previous years' chipsets in pro and non-pro models
  • Example: iPhone 15 Pro had A17 Pro, iPhone 15 had A16

Benchmark Speeds

• Comparison between A18 Pro, A17 Pro, and M1 chip
• Key Figures: A18 Pro
  • Single-core speed: 3570 (compared to M4's 3683)
  • Multi-core speed: 9310 (faster than M1)
  • Close to M2 speeds in multi-core performance
• Speculation on Different Chips
  • A second set of leaked benchmarks believed to be for A18, not A18 Pro
  • Single-core: 2882 (just above A17 Pro)
  • Use of new N3P process for A18

Comparative Analysis

• Performance leap: A18 faster than M1, close to M2
• A18 Pro significantly faster in both single and multi-core benchmarks
• Likely strategy: Similar naming conventions but better manufacturing process (N3P vs N3E)

Implications for iPhone Models

• All iPhone 16 models to feature A18 chips
  • Non-Pro models: A18
  • Pro models: A18 Pro
• RAM Increase
  • Expectation of 8GB RAM across all models
  • Justification: Support for Apple Intelligence features
• Better Efficiency with TSMC 3nm process
  • Mention of iPad Pro with M4 using similar technology
  • Improved battery life anticipated
