Mobile CPUs have many constrains to adapt to, but "size" shouldn't really be one of them.

- simias 9y agoIt makes a big difference for cooling though.
- danmaz74 9y agoAs in: the bigger, the better?? :)
- blackflame7000 9y agoI'm curious why you say that. Circuit board real estate seems to be a precious commodity especially in iphones. What do you mean by size?
- danmaz74 9y agoI was answering about the CPU (or SoC)
- dzdt 9y agoHuh? Size of the system is one of the defining constraints of "mobile". I guess you are saying the chip is small enough you don't think size of the CPU will be the limiting factor for setting the size of the system? True that other components are larger, but not true that the CPU is insignificant!
- StringyBob 9y agoAs an aside, In a high production volume chip, size (silicon area) == cost. It's really that simple for a lot of design choices.
