I guess you're right. I didn't know that LPDDR3 was now natively 64-bit rather than 2x32-bit.

The A7 was 2 x 32-bit LPDDR3, the A8 was 2 x 32-bit LPDDR3, and the A8X was 4 x 32-bit LPDDR3. Apple hasn't used a single channel memory...

The easy way would be to take the Apple TV's single core A5 which was already area-optimized and shrink it from 32nm to 28nm. That wouldn't be...

Revisionist history? :eek:

If perceptions on Denver are a bit too negative, it's mostly because nVidia set expectations high. If I remember correctly nVidia promised that...

No one's released a die shot yet either. They are probably working with Chipworks on that to have some physical evidence for their A8X analysis.

I guess you need to use it more to judge the impact, but has the missing mute/orientation lock switch been an issue? The speed/RAM improvements...
