Apple’s A18 Pro Die Size Is Only Slightly Bigger Than The A17 Pro; Closer Analysis Reveals A Bigger SLC Cache Than A18, Plus More Differences

wccftech | Oct. 2, 2024, 2:27 a.m. | Original

A die shot comparison of the A18 and A18 Pro was revealed yesterday, making it the first time that Apple’s second-generation 3nm chipsets powering the iPhone 16 models were examined with a closer eye. Unfortunately, the lack of identification meant we could not deduce which component was present on which part of the two SoCs, so it was difficult to conclude the differences between them. Thankfully, we get a closer look at the A18 and A18 Pro, revealing their
