- June 2022 - Apple launched away. M2 chip embedded with power-efficient performance delivers a faster CPU, GPU, and Neural Engine. Compared to its past generation chip series M2 is loaded with 20 billion transistors and second-generation 5nm process technology. At the same power level, the CPU in the M2 offers approximately twice the performance.M2 uses only one-fourth of the power and achieves over 90% of the 12-core chip's maximum performance. The M2 GPU provides 2.3 times quicker performance. Enables devices to run cool and silently while maintaining excellent battery life, even while playing graphically intensive games or processing large RAW photographs.
- January 2023 - As Apple takes the next step towards innovation, it discontinued manufacturing its wi-fi chips. Apple plans to launch advanced 3nm chips and is busy developing and researching. Apple plans to make in-house components in the coming days, aiming for minimal dependency on outside vendors. Broadcom will keep supplying the tech giant with wi-fi chips.
North America Accounts for Significant Market Share
- North America holds a significant portion of the market, and due to the presence of numerous international companies, the market there is expanding faster than in other regions. Also, as the average cost of consumer tablets in the United States declined, the demand surged, necessitating a greater need for tablet application processors. Samsung and Apple are the two companies with the largest market shares.
