# Apple Developing A20 Pro 2nm Chip for iPhone

September 9, 2026 at 03:24 PM

> Apple's rumored A20 Pro chip features a 2nm process, 80TOPS Neural Engine, and memory bandwidth exceeding M1, M2, and M3 processors.

**Apple** is reportedly developing the A20 Pro, its second 2nm System on a Chip following the M6. Rumored for the iPhone lineup, the chip features a 6-core CPU with two performance cores at 4.90GHz and four efficiency cores at 2.60GHz, plus a 7-core 1.60GHz GPU.

The A20 Pro includes a 32-core Neural Engine delivering over 80TOPS for AI tasks. Memory specs include a 96-bit bus width, LPDDR5X support, and 115.2GB/s bandwidth. Cache is boosted to 36MB of SLC, with 16MB shared for performance cores and 8MB for efficiency.

This hardware leap represents a significant upgrade over the A19 Pro's 64-bit bus and 32MB SLC cache. Notably, the A20 Pro's 115.2GB/s memory bandwidth and 9,600MT/s transfer speed exceed the maximum bandwidth ratings of the M1, M2, and M3 series processors.
