It tells you more than that: it's not an A9 and does not contain a GPU. So doesn't it dispel some rumours? What did you expect?

- hga 17y agoNo, it just asserts that because there's only one core it has to be an A8 (superscalar, no provision for SMP) not an A9 (out-of-order speculative issue superscalar, single core and 1-4 cores SMP versions).
- andrewcooke 17y agowell as far as i understand things, an arm chip is a collection of modules that perform different functions. so it could have described which modules are present (you'd need to grind horizontal sections). also, although i guess more difficult, it could perhaps have tried to look at what makes this chip different. arm chips seem to be pretty common; what was so special about this that apple needed to do their own?
