That’s a good point. Also, if the A17 and M3 were designed in tandem, it could be that we’re also not seeing the expected uplift because A17 may have been designed for both the N3B and N3E nodes, where the later M3 lineup would be optimized for N3E. IIRC, N3B basically uses FinFlex 2-2, but has slightly higher density design rules due to double patterning and other process enhancements. Perhaps with the M3 (or M3 Pro/Max/etc.), there’ll be higher perf due to better utilization of other FinFlex options offered by N3E. I also came across a rumor recently that claimed the iPad Pro would get the M3 Pro, though I’m still ruminating on the implications of that.That was me, and it’s an admittedly naive extrapolation of M2 (A15 design) -> M3 (A17 design).
