According to information from Chinese regulator TENAA, the iPhone 6s dual core A9 processor. Possibly, the configuration of the chipset Apple A9X in a 12.9-inch iPad Pro also has not undergone any major changes, but in the next generation of single-chip systems, the number of computing units will increase significantly.
Apple A9 is built on 64-bit architecture using 14-nm process FinFET, and the maximum CPU frequency is 1.8 GHz. He is 90% more powerful than its predecessor when working with graphics and 70% more productive it when it comes to computing.
Now Apple is developing the next generation hardware platform, which will be called the Apple A10. Judging by the latest leaks, the company intends to increase the number of CPU cores. According Ubergizmo, their number will grow to six. Before Apple chose to release processors with a minimum number of cores, with the highest possible performance.
The new chipset will be built on a 10 – or 14-nm technological process. It is designed with Apple will pay greater attention to the improvement of threading and improved performance. The chip manufacturer can become as TSMC and Samsung and Intel, which can get your piece of the pie, if Apple decides to use the 14-nm process technology. The option of using a 10-nm process technology, however, it seems less likely, as most contract manufacturers are planning to develop more thin technical process only in 2017.
Of course, while this is just a rumor and treat it with a grain of salt. Nevertheless, the publication stresses that the information comes from sources that previously published accurate data about preparing semiconductor products.
