Apple S7
Apple silicon is a series of system on a chip (SoC) and system in a package (SiP) processors designed by Apple Inc., mainly using the ARM architecture. It is the basis of most new Mac computers as well as iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, Apple TV, and Apple Watch, and of products such as AirPods, HomePod, HomePod Mini, and AirTag. Apple announced its plan to switch Mac computers from Intel processors to Apple silicon at WWDC 2020 on June 22, 2020. The first Macs built with the Apple M1 processor were unveiled on November 10, 2020. In 2022, the newest Mac models were built with Apple silicon; only older models of the Mac Mini and the Mac Pro still use Intel Core and Xeon processors respectively. Apple fully controls the integration of Apple silicon chips with the company's hardware and software products. Johny Srouji is in charge of Apple's silicon design. Manufacturing of the chips is outsourced to semiconductor contract manufacturers such as Samsung and TSMC. A series ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Apple A16
The Apple A16 Bionic is a 64-bit computing, 64-bit ARM architecture, ARM-based system on a chip (SoC) designed by Apple Inc. and manufactured by TSMC. It is used in the IPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max models only. Design The Apple A16 Bionic features an Apple-designed 64-bit six-core Central processing unit, CPU implementing AArch64, ARMv8.6-A (no SM4 of v8.6, but with HCX) with two "Everest" high-performance cores running at 3.46 GHz, and four "Sawtooth" energy-efficient cores running at 2.02 GHz, in a similar design to the Apple A15, A15 processor on iPhone 14. Apple claims the A16 is about 40 % faster than the competition, and it also has new efficiency cores, with their big advantage being they use a third of the power of the best efficiency cores of other phones on the market. The A16 contains 16 billion Transistor, transistors, a 6.7 % increase from the Apple A15, A15's transistor count of 15 billion. It includes an improved dedicated neural network with 16 c ...
