iPhone and Samsung 4 Wave allegedly use the same processor

UBM Tech Insights has compared Apple's System on a Chip A4 with the processor of the Samsung S8500 Wave. It acts both times to an ARM Cortex-A8 core. As a PowerVR SGX 3D GPU is used.

Apple's A4, a so-called systems on a chip (SoC), the processor, graphics and other features on a piece of silicon used together, supposedly the same CPU as Samsung's Bada-Wave Handy S8500. This is the result of an analysis published on Tuesday by UBM Tech Insights. Apple dell hd438 battery blocked the A4 in the iPhone and iPad 4th

"A4, following an investigation of the application processor Samsung S5PC110A01 and a comparison with the application processor, we can not only confirm that Samsung manufactures both chips, but also that both applications processors on the same 1 GHz ARM based Cortex-A8 core," said Young Choi , senior manager of Technical Intelligence Group. Both chips were also manufactured with a feature size of 45 nanometers.

UBM Tech Insights expects that Samsung will be his version of the A4-processor in future use in other products. "Use Based on the assumption that the upcoming Android smartphone Samsung is also the Galaxy S S5PC110A01 is, should achieve sales of Samsung lenovo 3000 c100 battery processor, a very high level," said Choi on. The Korean company is thus expected to be able to defend in 2009 assumed the role as a leader in application processors.

Assuming that the Samsung-chip and Apple's A4 are identical, can be based on the data of UBM Tech Insights on the GPU of the iPad and connect the iPhone 4: The Samsung S5PC110A01 uses a graphics core called PowerVR SGX 3D by Imagination Technologies. iFixit had previously suspected that the A4 type PowerVR SGX GPU, a 535 is used. This assumption is based according to the company but not to investigations of the chip structures, but on measurements of the 3D performance of the iPad, and the iPhone, which would have provided similar results.

Apple itself makes no technical information on the A4. On his website, called the company only the processor speed of 1 GHz. Moreover, the chip is more power efficient work, "The Apple engineers have the A4-chip in the iPad designed so that it extremely Sony laptop battery powerful, yet extremely economical", it says on the iPad site.

Initial listings of iPad in Germany

Initial listings of iPad in Germany

Shortly after the presentation of the new Apple iPad and even months before the launch list some shops, the new device. It is becoming clear here that is not possible at a conversion price of the dollar under current exchange rates in the past.

Although not the only shop in which the iPad will be listed so far, attracted mainly of T-Online Shop's attention. Apple Tablet in it since today with prices starting at 499 euros (16-gigabyte version without UMTS) will be listed.
