Your next iPhone or Mac could have a major advantage over rival devices, with performance and efficiency that nothing else can match, if a new report is to be believed. It claims Apple has gobbled up the entire supply of a new breed of superefficient chips.

The benefits for Apple could be huge. The A16 chip inside the iPhone 14 Pro is made with a 4nm process, while the latest Mac chips use a 5nm process. Shifting down to a 3nm process means fitting more transistors onto the chip, which could bring generational improvements in both performance and efficiency.

For instance, the 3nm chips are expected to bring a 35% step up in power efficiency compared to Apple’s 4nm iPhone chips. That means they’ll require less power to produce more performance, which is good news for both battery life and heat management.
