This chip is likely to be named A12, which will use an more advanced 7nm process, compared to the 10nm chip on the iPhone X. According to report, the 7nm process will be 40% more power-efficient than 10nm, and the performance will increase by 20%. Basically, the chip will be smaller, energy-efficient, and deliver super powerful performance.

The processor, likely to be called the A12 chip, will use a 7-nanometer design that can be smaller, faster and more efficient than the 10-nanometer chips in current Apple devices like the iPhone 8 and iPhone X, the people said. They asked not to be identified discussing private plans. Apple and TSMC spokeswomen declined to comment.
