Apple a10 processor power secret discovered, huge cores
Table of contents:
Many users criticize Apple's mobile devices for including a processor with a much lower number of cores than its Android namesakes, while the current top of the range Android have included 8 or even 10-core processors, Apple has just made the leap to a quad-core configuration with the Apple A10 processor of the new iPhone 7. Despite this, the devices of the Cupertino always show an exquisite and enviable performance for many Android terminals.
The Apple A10 processor has a lot of muscle inside
Apple processors tend to give the highest scores in all benchmarks despite including few cores in their processor. Many users are surprised by this situation but the truth is that Apple has always followed a very basic principle: better quality than quantity. A look inside the new Apple A10 processor shows us the secret of its brutal performance, its cores are large, very large and this means a lot of "muscle" to perform the tasks.
We recommend our guide to the best low and mid-range smartphones on the market.
The new Apple A10 chip debuts the Hurricane cores with a size of 4.18 mm2 each, to put ourselves in a situation we tell you that the Kryo cores of the Snapdragon 820 have a size of 2.79 mm2 and the Samsung M1 cores of the Exynos 8890 have a size 2.06 mm2. With this it is clear that each Apple core is much more powerful so it can execute a greater number of instructions per unit of time. Multicore programming is very complex, so having a lower number of nuclei but much more powerful is a great advantage for Apple when it comes to squeezing the full potential of their devices (tell AMD and its Bulldozers).
The Apple A10 also includes two low-consumption cores with a size of only 0.78 mm2, which is also larger than the 0.45mm2 of the Cortex A53 that the rest of manufacturers mount for tasks that require less power. When the workload is low the processor uses only its energy efficient cores to improve energy efficiency and maximize battery life.
So the explanation for the excellent performance of Apple processors is very simple, they have few cores but they are very very powerful.
