Apple's latest 5nm chip has superior performance in the third quarter, Apple achieves record quarterly growth
According to US media reports, in the communication between TSMC and Apple, although Apple’s iPhone12 is expected to account for only 8% of Apple’s sales in the next quarter of 2020, the A14 chipset is expected to become the first chipset to adopt a 5nm node.
Qualcomm has launched the first mobile processor core that breaks through the 3GHz clock frequency, thus beating Apple. The newly released 7nmSnapdragon 865+ chipset's 3.1GHz peak clock speed makes Apple must consider adopting the 5nm process on the A14.

According to the manufacturing plan, TSMC’s 5nm technology is about 15% faster, but 30% lower than the current mobile champion Snapdragon 865+ or the current 7nm node in the Apple A13.
Given that the A13 is currently the fastest mobile chipset, why does Apple need more features? Well, it may make it finally begin to realize its AR/VR and other imaging dreams.
After all, the LiDAR camera of the iPad Pro 2020 is also expected to drop into the iPhone 12 Pro camera set, but it remains to be seen how Apple will use it.
TSMC has not stopped here, but is preparing to launch 3nm on a large scale in 2022. Compared with the current 5nm and 7nm nodes, this will be a brand new node generation.

The data test from GeekBench exploded, showing that the A14 chip frequency was stacked to 3.1GHz, with a single-core running score of 1658 points and a multi-core score of 4612 points.
Apple releases third-quarter report, revenue grows 11% year-on-year
Apple just announced the third fiscal quarter 2020 financial report.
In terms of overall results, the financial report shows that Apple's total revenue for the quarter was 59.7 billion US dollars, an increase of 11% year-on-year, and the results were much higher than the previous Wall Street analysts' expectations.
In the speech of Apple CEO Tim Cook, Apple certainly achieved a "record-breaking" quarterly growth in this quarter, and they completed the goal of doubling service revenue in 2016 six months ahead of schedule. In the global economic adversity, Apple was relieved with this financial report. Apple’s total revenue for the quarter was US$59.7 billion, an increase of 11% year-on-year, and the results were much higher than the expectations of Wall Street analysts.
In terms of sub-subject scores, the details are as follows:
iPhone revenue was 26.42 billion U.S. dollars, a year-on-year increase of 1.66%;
Service revenue was USD 13.16 billion, a year-on-year increase of 14.85%;
Mac revenue was US$7.08 billion, a year-on-year increase of 21.63%;
iPad revenue was US$6.58 billion, a year-on-year increase of 31.04%;
Revenue from wearable devices was US$6.45 billion, a year-on-year increase of 16.74%. Part of these growth stems from the demand for working from home under the global health incident. During this period, Apple has received positive feedback from the market whether it is productivity tools or audiovisual and paid content.
Mac and iPad had the most significant growth in the last quarter, with year-on-year growth of 21.63% and 31.04% respectively. Apple CFO Luca Mestri said that half of the Mac and iPad sales in the quarter were new products, and the proportion of new products hit a record high. This reflects from the side that Apple's new product iteration plan has achieved certain results, of course, it includes the reasons for the health incident.
In the Chinese market, Apple started education discounts during the back-to-school season in July. It not only reduced the original price, but also gave away 1,246 yuan worth of AirPods 2, which may greatly stimulate the sales of Mac and iPad. At least compared to the same period last year, there will be good results. This sales situation will be reflected in Apple's earnings report for the next quarter.
In terms of wearables, Cook admitted that the growth rate has slowed down, but still maintained a double-digit growth rate. Mestri said that more than 75% of Apple Watch customers are new products.
On the other side, there is also the service growth that the industry is concerned about. Last quarter, Apple achieved 13.16 billion US dollars, an impressive year-on-year increase of 14.85%. It is generally believed that if Apple wants to get rid of its dependence on the iPhone, the biggest growth point is service revenue. Once the user base reaches a certain level, the marginal cost will drop, which will bring considerable profits to Apple.
