Tech Youtuber. Analyzing hardware and chips of all sizes. Everything silicon.

Video recap coming soon. Amazing work from STEEL!
We took the silicon out of the silicon. Quick turn from SemiAnalysis STEEL Teardown Lab: iPhone 18 Pro Max, A20 silicon on TSMC N2. more to follow...

No, the iPhone demand isn’t lower. It’s just that a lot of buyers are waiting for the more expensive Duo.

WTF is happening? Apple software update offered two new updates: iOS 26.7 and the new iOS 27. I click on iOS 27 and enter my PIN. Now iOS 26.7 is downloading? Wut?

26.7 finished installing and it turned out to be iOS 27. Seems like just the name was wrong. Hopefully I’m on the right build now.

Not only is it installing 26.7 instead of 27, it’s also downloading super slow. Great start Apple! 🤣

The new Apple A20 Pro SoC seems to use the new "Super-cores" that come with a private L2 cache. Interesting.

It seem like Apple just calls them "Super" cores, but they aren't the same desktop class S-cores and they don't have a private L2$. Sad.

During the keynote @Apple showed a render of the A20 Pro die, but it looks a little weird. Anyone from Apple knows anything? Previous renders from Apple were always based on real die shots. @johnternus

I can confirm that the render @Apple showed is complete fabrication and looks nothing like the real die. Sad to see, the old Apple used real die shots for their renders. What changed? I thought Ternus was supposed to be a tech guy?

If I were Apple, I would have put two A20 Pro SoC in the iPhone Duo. Twice the silicon, twice the power. True duo. But well, I'm not Apple.

This is a much bigger deal than ppl might think, the entire industry rejected 6x12-inch masks before. This change shows that High-NA seems to be doing much better than expected and it removes the biggest downside.
Today ASML and Intel not only did announce that one million High-NA EUV wafers were processed, but also they are making the transition to 6x12-inch masks. This will help to overcome one of the current limitations.

One side effect of AI, that most ppl don’t realize yet, is that more and more ppl devalue your work by claiming it’s AI. Doesn’t matter how long you worked on the script or how long the editing took, they always find “proof”’ that it’s AI and not your own work. Before ppl would just say that your video sucks on that you are stupid. Which is much easier to deal with than ppl confidently claiming your weeks of work is actually not real. Hint: if I would use AI to write scripts I would put out more than one video a month. Kinda like ppl are scared to use em-dashes now. It sucks! I want to old hate comments back.
