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."

    FTA:

    What we found was an APL0398 chip, presumably the next-generation processor from the APL0298 that we found in the iPhone 3GS.

    This is overly pedantic

    No it's not, it's just being correct and calling things by its right name. It's not a bad thing to be precise.
