Apple always focuses on experience and practical use instead of providing detailed configuration information that blinds users.
Apple only said the iPhone 5 uses its latest A6 processor with twice the CPU and graphics performance.
Comments from Anandtech say that iPhone 5 may be the first smartphone to use a chip using the ARM Cortex-A15 core.
However, the information still makes many people skeptical, when if true, Apple would have defeated other chip manufacturing competitors such as Texas Instruments, Samsung or Nvidia because of the Omap 5, Exynos 5 or Tegra 4 lines.
Whether the Apple A6 has 2 or 4 cores is still unknown.
The Apple A6 chip could also be a quad-core processor.
Apple is a manufacturer that does not place much emphasis on configuration but focuses most on the experience users have on new products.
A few more technology sites say that the A6 chip on the iPhone 5 may only be upgraded in speed, but the structure or multiplier is still similar to the iPhone 4S.
However, this argument also receives objections.
Apple does not put too much emphasis on configuration, instead it always directs users to the practical experiences that new products bring.
iPhone 5 also uses a dual-core A6 chip but uses the same structure as Qualcomm’s Snapdragon S4 with Krait processor.
Firstly, Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 is a dual-core chip with the best performance today, in addition, this is also a product that helps the device save more energy.
Second, with the Krait processor, the Snapdragon S4 is at least twice as fast as the dual-core Cortex-A9 solution like the A5 of the iPhone 4S.
As for Apple, why doesn’t Apple introduce that the A6 can use the same structure as Qualcomm Snapdragon because maybe, the American technology company doesn’t want to let many people know that the iPhone 5’s configuration is not different from existing Android lines like One?
iPhone 5 is officially available, but detailed information about the Apple A6 processor is still a mystery to be solved, besides how it will be used with nano-SIM.
