Apple’s Rumored AR Headset to Feature One 4nm and One 5nm Chip, Both Made by TSMC

We have known from previous reports that Apple’s AR headset could pack quite the punch in terms of computing performance, and it will be thanks to two custom chips running in unison. We have now learned that both of these unnamed SoCs will be mass produced on varying nodes, though TSMC will be undertaking orders for both.
Though the rumored AR headset could deliver performance similar to the M1, instead of one silicon doing all the heavy lifting, there will be two working as a tag team. According to Ming-Chi Kuo, one will be mass produced on TSMC’s 4nm process, while the other will be a 5nm part. Previously, we reported that one of those chips would be tasked with handling the more demanding operations, while the other would be responsible for carrying out sensor-related computations.
