Apple M6 vs M5 Chip Deep-Dive

The Apple M6 chip, built on TSMC's 2nm N2 process, introduces a new mixed CPU cluster with two S-cores and four P-cores, replacing the M5's four S-cores, which the speaker argues improves multi-thread performance under thermal constraints. The M6 also doubles the Neural Engine cores and upgrades PCIe to six Gen4 lanes, while keeping the same 128-bit memory interface and 16MB SLC as the M5. The speaker notes that the M6's memory bandwidth only increases on 24/32GB models, and that Apple may skip M6 Pro/Max in favor of an accelerated M7 timeline.

Apple A20 Pro Chip Deep-Dive

Apple's A20 Pro chip in the iPhone 18 Pro is the first to use TSMC's 2nm N2 process, which enables significant performance and efficiency gains despite a similar die size to the A19 Pro. The chip also introduces a new WMCM packaging that moves DRAM off the SoC to improve thermal management, and it features a 50% wider memory interface and a doubled NPU. The speaker argues that the combination of the new node, packaging, and thermal design makes the A20 Pro more than a simple iteration.

Nvidia's New Old Chip

Nvidia's RTX Spark for Windows on Arm laptops uses an older chip, not a new era for PCs, but offers a powerful GPU for AI tasks.
