Cortex A-15 can also run at nearly double the clock rate though: 2.5 GHz vs 1.4 GHz.

- rsynnott 13y ago> Cortex A-15 can also run at nearly double the clock rate Cortex A-15 _does_ run at nearly double the clock rate (though with a substantially higher energy consumption on the rare occasion it actually scales up all the way). Apple is historically very conservative with its mobile device clock speeds, and I'd expect that Cyclone has a fair bit of headroom here.
- jpwright 13y agoI say "can" because most Cortex-A15 design implementations don't actually run that fast. Mostly 1.6-2 GHz. Of course, we are comparing a design that's licensed out from ARM to a fixed product from Apple, so it's not a totally fair comparison. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM_Cortex-A15#Systems_on_a_chip http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM_Cortex-A15#Systems_on_a_chi...
