After a few years of reusing its top-of-the-line chip from the previous year in non-Pro iPhones, everything indicates that Apple will return to using processors from the same generation across the entire line, although there are still some differences.
Recently, the leaker Fixed focus digital shared on Weibo some information that can help us understand exactly how this distinction will be made between the two chips.
According to him, the “A18” and “A18 Pro” will be manufactured in independent matrices. In other words, this means that the first chip will not just be a “stripped down” version of the advanced version, but rather a processor developed from scratch, with its own process.

In addition, both chips should have six CPU cores 1, two of which are for performance and the remaining four for efficiency. Things change when we talk about GPU 2, as the “A18 Pro” should have six cores while the “A18” only has five.
According to the information, both chips will have a space dedicated to reduced cache memory, which goes against another rumor that Apple would be planning to increase the cache memory in order to make room for a Neural Engine bigger, targeting Apple Intelligence.
In any case, all this information will be confirmed (or not) on September 9th, when Apple will hold the special event. “It’s Glowtime”. Anxious?
