New report out: Full technology analysis of the Apple A20 Pro SoC.
First A-series chip on TSMC N2 (GAA nanosheet) + new side-by-side WMCM packaging.
We covered the complete teardown, package architecture, high-res die shots, annotated floorplan, and STEM of the GAA transistors.
Details here:

Diving into the A20 Pro SoC from the iPhone 18 Pro.
TSMC tape-out code: TMUR86
What should we prioritize in the analysis?
2nm GAA transistors, WMCM side-by-side packaging, the expanded Neural Engine, memory interface changes… or something else?
Drop your focus areas below.

"Skips"? TSMC was first and continues to extend its hybrid bonding portfolio. AMD's X3D CPUs use TSMCs hybrid bonding and so does Apple's new M5 Pro/Max/Ultra chips. This is a super weird article.
Free Technology Analysis Report – Broadcom BCM2712 (Raspberry Pi 5 SoC)
We analysed the cost-optimized D0 stepping and compared it with the earlier C0/C1 version.
Key findings: • ~41% die size reduction (55.3 → 32.4 mm²) • Annotated floorplan • FIB & STEM process analysis • Package analysis + cost estimates
