Although Apple does not have too much disclosure the iPhone5 and their components behind the technical details, but reportedly the new configuration iPhone5 A6 processor uses next-generation ARM Cortex A15 chip, which makes it become the first market-oriented Offering withphone technology.
Anand Lal Shimpi from Anandtech website report the obtained improve performance of Apple's new A6 processor and other factors mean look Apple has Samsung's 32nm LP HK + MG processor integrates two ARM Cortex A15 chip Apple beat TI and Samsung A15 chip market.
Previous generations of Apple design applied to the iOS system chips using the ARM Cortex A8 processor core (iPad / iPhone 4 A4) and Cortex A9 processor cores (iPad 2 / iPhone 4S A5). Cortex A15 is the next major breakthrough in the ARM product design, it is referred to as "the industry had never seen the highest performance processor licensed.
For Apple, the new processor debugging upgrade beyond the industry level is not an unusual thing. 2010, the debut of new iPad carrying through the the Intrinsity company's "FastCore" using Apple A4 chip, ARM standard Cortex A8 chip clocked at speeds faster. '
"We have A4 chip," Jobs said in a brand new iPad's conference, "This is our most advanced processor and use on the iPad. Integrated processor, graphics, input and output ports, the memory controller and so almost everything on a chip. "
In the second year, Apple released the iPad2 equipped with dual-core A5 chip, Jobs called "the first volume shipments of dual-core tablet PCs.
RIM is trying to become the core of the strategy of the Tablet PC, the dual-core function, and a Texas Instruments OMAP 4 chip production. The Honeycomb Xoom Motorola same focus in its own dual-core chips Nvidia Tegra 2 chip applications in the Android 3.0 system Tablet PC and Atrix series intelligent machines.
As of the end of last year, the Tablet PC market Wars iPad2 unharmed outcome end. Compared to the new processor chip used on the next-generation iPad Apple selected A5X, deformable body of a A5 chip, quad-core graphics chip and twice the RAM to be used to support improved four times the pixel Retina display. The chip of A5X continues A4 and A5 chip 45nm production process.
Apple's custom the Ax-chip by Samsung welding. Samsung is also produced in the history of their own similar version of the chip, although it is usually to use a different the graphical kernel and other deformation. 5 dual-core Samsung Exynos processor configuration with two ARM Mali GPU chip two ARM Cortex A15 chip, the Apple A6 seems to use the same the SGX543MP4 GPUs of quad-core chips as the new iPad A5X chip.
New A6 processor uses a the Samsung more advanced 32nm production process, to achieve the 8-hour charge for faster chip configuration, the configuration faster processor and support for LTE technology also will explain Apple said earlierhow the A6 processor is 22% smaller than A5.
In addition to Samsung's Exynos 5 TI OMAP 5 series and Nvidia Tegra 4 uses the same ARM Cortex A15 chip. Broadcom Corporation and LG also announced plans to use the ARM Cortex A15 chip. Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 is also achieve a structure similar to the Cortex A15.
