Apple iPhone 18 Pro Expected to Get a Huge Graphics Boost, Said to Be 18% Faster than Current Model
The alleged redesign adds a 7-core GPU, a 96-bit LPDDR5X memory interface and larger efficiency-core cache, according to the Weibo leak.
- Weibo user Fried White Rice posted circuit diagrams suggesting Apple's A20 Pro features a 7-core GPU and a 96-bit LPDDR5X memory interface, marking a significant redesign from the A19 Pro.
- Diagrams indicate the A20 Pro retains the A19 Pro configuration of four efficiency and two performance CPU cores, though cache memory for efficiency cores increases to 8MB from 6MB.
- Fixed Focus Digital recently suggested the A20 Pro will be 18% faster with 30% better power efficiency, potentially utilizing the TSMC 2nm process for manufacturing.
- Apple is expected to unveil the new chip at an event on Sept. 9, though experts caution that indirect circuit diagram analysis remains speculative and should be viewed as informed guesses.
- The A20 Pro aims to compete with Samsung devices powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 silicon, including the Galaxy S26 Ultra multitasking powerhouse.
