Summary
A Weibo die-shot leak gives the first floorplan-level look at Apple’s A20 Pro, indicating a seven-core GPU and a six-core CPU with two performance and four efficiency cores.
Seven GPU cores would be Apple’s largest phone GPU yet, up from 6 in the A19 Pro, while CPU core counts appear unchanged and the efficiency-core L2 cache reportedly rises to 8 MB from 6 MB.
The image also aligns with earlier reports that Apple shifted memory dies beside the SoC, widened the memory interface to 96 bits and kept LPDDR5X instead of moving to LPDDR6.
NPU and ISP blocks are not visible in the cropped image, leaving their layout unconfirmed, though the chip is expected to power the iPhone 18 Pro line and Apple’s foldable iPhone due on September 9.
Because the image is an unverified pre-launch leak, likely from engineering samples or internal documents, the floorplan could still change before mass production.
