Pixel 12 leaks point to Tensor G7 on a 2nm node with La Jolla codename

A Pixel 12 leak claims Google will power the lineup with the Tensor G7 on a 2nm process (codenamed La Jolla), continuing Google's in-house chip strategy for AI features and camera processing. While this keeps AI-first advantages, benchmarks described in the leak suggest Tensor-based Pixel devices still trail latest Snapdragon and Apple chips, fueling ongoing debate about whether Google will eventually switch to Snapdragon/MediaTek while maintaining Tensor's software benefits.

iPhone 18 to Pack 12GB RAM and a 2nm A20 Power Boost

Rumors claim the iPhone 18 base model will ship with 12GB RAM (up from 8GB), matching Pro models to support Apple Intelligence on iOS 27, powered by TSMC’s 2nm A20 chip with about a 15% performance gain and improved efficiency. A split release is suggested: iPhone 18 Pro and a foldable variant in fall 2026, with the standard iPhone 18, 18e, and Air 2 arriving in early 2027.

MacBook Ultra Could Redefine Apple's High-End Laptops With OLED, Touch, and 2nm Chips

Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports Apple plans a major redesign of the high-end MacBook line by early 2027, potentially branding the top model as 'MacBook Ultra' with an OLED touchscreen, a Dynamic Island-style camera hole, M6 Pro/Max chips on TSMC’s 2nm process, a thinner chassis, and built-in cellular connectivity; RAM supply constraints and timing could push the launch from late 2026 to early 2027, with the entry-level 14-inch Pro using M6 likely receiving fewer changes.

Meta teams with Broadcom for 1 GW of AI chips as Hock Tan exits Meta board

Meta Platforms and Broadcom announced a multi‑gigawatt deal to design and deploy Meta’s MTIA AI accelerators, starting with 1 gigawatt of Training and Inference Accelerators and scaling to multiple gigawatts by 2027–2029, built on a 2‑nanometer process. Simultaneously, Broadcom CEO Hock Tan will not stand for reelection to Meta's board after two years of service. The internally used MTIA chips reflect the broader shift by hyperscalers toward custom silicon to power AI data centers.

Battery-First Upgrade: iPhone 18 Pro Max Focuses on Longevity and Efficiency

Apple’s iPhone 18 Pro Max leans into practicality with a thicker chassis to fit a larger 5,100–5,200 mAh battery and a new A20 chip on a 2nm process for better performance and efficiency. It retains the 6.9-inch display and does not plan under-display Face ID or a smaller Dynamic Island this cycle, signaling a focus on longer battery life and everyday usability over dramatic design changes.

Qualcomm Targets Thermal Fix for Snapdragon 8 Gen 6 with Copper HPB Heatsink

Rumors say Qualcomm will use Heat Pass Block copper heatsinks on the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro and Gen 6 to curb temperatures as clocks rise toward 5 GHz, with TSMC’s 2nm process expected to help but not fully solve cooling in smartphones; testing reportedly shows 5.00 GHz potential in ideal conditions, making an advanced cooling solution like HPB seem necessary—though no official confirmation has emerged.

iPhone 18 base model rumored for early 2027 with 2nm A20 and 12GB RAM

Rumors peg the standard iPhone 18 for an early 2027 debut (with Pro models in Sep 2026), keeping a design similar to the iPhone 17 while upgrading core hardware: a 2nm A20 chip delivering roughly 10–15% performance gains, ~12GB RAM with Samsung LPDDR5X memory, and Samsung-made stacked image sensors. A simplified Camera Control feature is suggested for the base model, and under-display Face ID appears unlikely on the non-Pro variant.
