The plot thickens on Apple A8


Yes I'd like to know what they were talking about with their 25%.

The only possible explanation I can see is that they are talking about long term performance under load. Hopefully Anandtech will investigate and answer this properly.

And what are all the extra transistors for as well? The CPU obviously is just a shrink with minor improvements at most, basically a tick. How many extra could be used in just reducing the power requirements? Some would be used in the GPU but obviously a whole lot are being used for something else. The extra camera functionality wouldn't take up so many so I think they must have just stuck in a bigger cache. Anyway I'm keeping an eye on Chipworks for the answers at
