Apple's A 10 fusion processor adopts quad-core design for the first time, and it is a mixed architecture system with two big and two small, so the word fusion is added to the name.
The position of the large core is in the middle of the right side of the chip. When going up and down, the small nucleus is next to the big nucleus, and they are all committed in a corner. Then there are two sets of secondary caches and related circuits in the middle. It can be seen that the colors of the core parts are different, which also shows that they use different digital libraries. The third-level cache is on the left side of the CPU core module and divided into two groups, next to the small core respectively.
Extended data
IPhone 7 A 10 processor is still dual-core, but single-core performance is still invincible. GeekBench can run more than 3,000 points, which is basically close to A9X in iPad Pro, and the latter scores around 3,200 points. In contrast, at present, the single-core running score of the iPhone 6A9 processor is as high as 2500+, while the best Xiaolong 820 in the Android camp is just over 2500.
A 10 processor will be delivered to TSMC for OEM. Considering that the following 10nm process has not been put into production, it is still 16nm process. It is expected that the architecture will be further optimized, and the frequency (A9 1.85GHz, A9X 2.26GHz) will continue to increase, thus achieving a performance improvement of more than 20%.
IPhone7 cancelled the 16GB model, with a minimum storage capacity of 32GB, and the other two capacities were 128GB and 256GB respectively.
