Apples next-gen M5 series processor leaks: TSMC N3P, server-grade SoIC advanced packaging
Apple's new M5 Pro, M5 Max, and M5 Ultra chips will reportedly use server-grade SoIC packaging, with the iPhone giant to use 2.5D packaging called SoIC-mH (molding horizontal) to improve production yields and thermal performance, with separate CPU and GPU designs.
Report: Apple’s M5 chips will use TSMC’s N3P process and 2.5D packaging technologies
Apple will reportedly assemble the high-end M5 chips using 2.5D packaging. This is a chip design approach that places a processor’s compute modules atop a common base layer, or interposer. The interposer is itself a semiconductor that allows data to move between the chip’s other components.
