The new iPhone 18 Pro packs a powerful A20 Pro chip, which delivers a 40% performance boost compared to its predecessor, the A19 Pro. The A20 Pro features a six-core CPU with two super-fast cores, clocked up to 20% quicker, and four efficient cores, all working together to power the device. Moreover, the chip boasts a seven-core GPU, enabling significantly faster graphics rendering abilities, up to 40% more than the A19 Pro.
In addition to its processing prowess, the A20 Pro also includes a dual Neural Engine setup, enhancing the smartphone's AI capabilities. Apple has made significant strides in thermal management with the new chip. The A20 Pro's custom packaging design, reminiscent of M-series chips, places the silicon die side-by-side with the memory, effectively removing the memory from the thermal path of the system-on-chip.
This innovative approach allows the chip to connect directly to an improved vapor chamber, resulting in enhanced heat dissipation.
