Apple is building an exciting new GPU to power Apple’s first ARM-based iMac in 2021. This GPU, codenamed “Lifuka”, will be manufactured in TSMC’s new 5 nm node and promises to be faster and more energy-efficient than Intel.
According to a new report, we now know that the codename “Lifuka” is the Apple GPU that is manufactured by TSMC on its new 5 nm node. However, the China Times reports that Apple’s new chip will not only be faster but also more energy-efficient than Intel’s chip.
The China Times writes: “Mac personal computers will use a graphics processor developed and designed by Apple. Recently, the industry has reported that in addition to Apple Silicon processors, Apple’s iMac desktop computers, which will be released next year, will also be equipped with Apple-designed GPUs.
Apple GPUs and processors in the 5 nm called Lifuka
In addition, the newspaper reports: “According to relevant sources, the development of Apple’s GPU is progressing smoothly. The development code is Lifuka. Like the upcoming A14X processor, it will be manufactured using TSMC’s 5 nm process. The new GPU will offer improved performance and computing power. It has technology for delayed rendering, which enables application developers to write a more powerful professional application and game software.
