The production of the chip began Apple A9 for iPhone 6s

Samsung and TSMC begin the component manufacturing phase for the iPhone 6s

After a time of speculation and rumors, the processor Apple A9 has already entered the production phase in the Samsung and TSMC factories. For a time the possibility was discussed that Samsung will not participate in the manufacture of the SoC for the new iPhone, but in the end the Cupertino company again required the services of the South Korean firm because it is one of the manufacturers that more of processors can offer short term.

The news was confirmed through the DigiTimes site, where it is indicated that both Samsung and TSMC will be responsible for manufacturing the processors of Apple, A9. The starting shot for mass production has already taken place, all with the aim of producing 80 million units by next September, when the new iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus reach the world market. Apple once again it has the two largest semiconductor manufacturers in the world, the two that the Cupertino company needed to meet the high demand they expect for their new devices.

Waiting for official confirmation

While DigiTimes confirms that the production of the processors has already begun, the definitive characteristics of the new chip of Apple A9. Unfortunately in Apple They have a habit of not revealing information about their components and devices until the day of their official presentation.

About the manufacturers, these are expected to be able to reach the highest level of production by the third quarter of 2015 so there will not be much news from the representatives of Samsung and TSMC. At least that is what they are saying right now from DigiTimes, whose source informed them that the factories have already begun the process of mass manufacturing of these chips.

Most likely, the Apple A9 share features with the latest chip, the Apple A8, but with a strong increase in power. The number of Cyclone cores may also increase, thus achieving better performance on next-generation iPhone and iPad devices.

On the other hand, iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus are expected to have 2 GB of RAM, so that a significant performance leap is achieved for the company’s new generation of devices Apple. Now that we know that Apple re-signed with Samsung for the production of the A9 chip, the question remains that we ask ourselves regularly, will the day come when Apple Do not depend on Samsung to manufacture its processors?
