I 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

I 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...
