As it is known, the Samsung Galaxy S23 is the latest flagship of Samsung. It’s undeniable how powerful the S23 and its siblings’ chipset is. In fact, the chipset in the S23 series is the most powerful for Android phones. So Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. However, the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max models can make a difference to the S23 in this regard.
iPhone 15 Pro will make a difference with its power!
This is because all versions of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 will use a 4 nm (nanometer) chip, while the A17 Bionic chipset we expect in Apple’s next Pro phones will use a 3 nm chip. So what does this mean? The purpose of using a 3 nm chip is to fit much more transistors into the same space with a 4 nm chipset.
For example, the 4 nm A16 Bionic in the iPhone 14 Pro has 16 billion transistors. The 5 nm A15 Bionic in the iPhone 13 Pro has 15 billion transistors. The transition to the A17 Bionic is thought to be a big leap forward. So much so that, according to the claims, the chipset will have between 18 and 24 billion transistors.
More transistors usually means more power and greater power efficiency. So this means that the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max have much better performance and battery life than other phones.
Apple can produce the first 2 nm
After Apple’s move, the devices that will be released in the future will also follow the 3 nm trend. So Samsung and other Android manufacturers are likely to catch up. However, Apple’s transition to 2 nm chipsets will likely be before other manufacturers. Because TSMC’s (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company) 2 nm program is currently only registered by Apple and Nvidia.
This shows that we can wait longer for the 2nm Snapdragon chipset. So much so that even Apple is thought to switch to 2 nm production in 2025 with the iPhone 17. However, it is worth remembering that instead of relying on TSMC, Samsung has the chance to get ahead with its own 2nm chipset. Either way, other Android manufacturers are lagging behind.
