Thanks to all the investment due to AI we have been able to continue these improvement at the current rate. To put things into perspective an Apple 1.4nm A18 Pro ( 3nm ) would only use ~50% of the energy with the same performance.
I am hoping we have more to squeeze out from an IPC or PPA ( Performance per area ) metric. ARM seems to be in the lead in this area. Wondering if Apple will have something to show in A19 / M5.
NAND and DRAM side is a bit more worrying though. Nothing in the pipeline suggest some dramatic changes.
Edit: Not sure why I am getting downvoted every time I say it is AI investment leading to improvements. I guess some on HN really hate AI.
