A Close Look At Apple's A4 Chip

Posted by timothy on from the a-novel-in-five-parts dept.

PabloSandoval48 writes "Apple's A4 processor is heavily influenced by Apple's long-established relationship with Samsung and represents an evolution rather than a revolution in circuit design. A team of experts takes a look at the evidence on A4 in an attempt to determine its origins and the influence of recent Apple acquisitions in the area of chip design."

    I don't see what's so interesting here. It's a standard, general-purpose, consumer-grade embedded processor. There are billions of these around in all sorts of devices.

    Is this one of those things that people get excited about just because it's from Apple, but is otherwise totally unremarkable?

    I think it is just because it is Apple. For some reason, the thought of Apple being involved in processor design makes these people jizz in their pants.
