According to a tweet from a retired engineer who goes by the Twitter handle of @chiakokua, Chinese publication Commercial Times reveals that Apple will start relying on home-grown 5nm Graphics Processing Units (GPU) during the second half of next year. The chips will have a code name of Lifuka. Because of the revised U.S. export rules, TSMC will not be allowed to manufacture 5nm chips for Huawei after September 14th. However, there are no worries for TSMC since the 5nm production capacity that opened up in the light of the new U.S. export rules has been grabbed by Apple for its new GPU line.
According to Commercial Times, the GPU “has tile-based deferred rendering technology that allows application developers to write more powerful professional application software and game software.” It will be developed for the Mac. Another new in-house chip incoming is the 5nm A14X that will power the next premium iPad Pro model. The chip is codenamed Tonga. Apple has reportedly dropped support for the AMD produced GPUs used in the macOS ARM 64-bit operating system. Besides the homegrown GPU and A14X CPU, Apple is also mass-producing the 5nm A14 CPU for the iPhone 12 series. These chips are codenamed Sicilian.
