Based on ARM-architecture of the new generation A6 processor in the iPhone 5

Presenting the iPhone 5 on Wednesday, the company Apple, without going into technical details, stated that the new smartphone is built on a processor A6, which is twice as fast than A5 in the iPhone 4S, as well as for general and graphics performance. Crystal size with steel for 22% less. Moreover A6, despite an increase of up to 4 inches of screen and module LTE, and provides prolonged autonomy. As Apple do it?

 

As it became known to increase the performance of the chip is partly achieved by switching from 45 - to 32-nanometer production technology. Furthermore A6 processor that has two processing cores, made on the architecture of a new generation of ARM Cortex-A15.

Thanks to the "finer" process technology and application architecture Cortex-A15 company managed to provide long battery life phones: Up to 8 hours of voice data on 3G, up to 225 hours on call waiting and up to 40 hours of music playback.

Cortex-A15 architecture involves the ability to create chips with 1, 2, 4, 8, and possibly 16 cores. Clock frequency can be varied from 1.0 to 2.5 GHz. Unfortunately, data on the frequency used in the iPhone 5 processor yet, but it is clear that they are not too high to avoid high power consumption.

So incredibly optimistic disposition raises power and strength of the iPhone 5, which is to negotiate until the fall of 2013, Apple was the first one who released the finished product is a microprocessor architecture Cortex-A15. The rate is already done for the last four Nvidia Tegra, TI OMAP5 and Samsung Exynos 5, but these systems are not yet appeared. Qualcomm offers 28-nanometer chips for Snapdragon S4 Krait-micro-architecture similar Cortex-A15.

The amount of RAM iPhone 5 has traditionally not disclosed fashion by excess technical details, which is common among computers, should not be repeated in the world of smartphones. It is believed that this volume has doubled to 1 GB.
