Whats a 6-wide core?

  Fetched & decoded instructions per cycle. Parent is wrong though, the A7 has 3-wide cores (and dual-core like previous chips)

    The Cyclone core has 6 decoders. It can decode, rename and retire up to 6 instructions per cycle[1]. [1] https://www.anandtech.com/show/7910/apples-cyclone-microarchitecture-detailed https://www.anandtech.com/show/7910/apples-cyclone-microarch...
