Apple A11 SoC to Feature 2 Performance and 4 Efficient Cores, According to Leaked Info

Apple 2nd SoC based on TSMC'due south 10nm FinFET architecture is the A11 chipset that's expected to ability the upcoming iPhone family unit. Details of the scrap reveals that the company intends to up the total number of cores, resulting in greater performance than what the A10 Fusion brought to the table.

A11 Expected to Drive the Contest - All half-dozen Cores Can Run in Unison When Required for Demanding Tasks, According to Leaked Information

A leaked tweet previously detailed that A11 was going to feature 4 performance cores, with the remaining two belonging to the efficient side of things. However, the leakster corrected his argument by revealing that two will be able to deliver groundbreaking performance for a smartphone, while the remaining four would tackle the less intensive operations.

It should be noted that these half dozen cores be also simultaneously to ensure optimum performance during serious tasks. Usually, manufacturers limit the functioning of either the functioning cores or the efficient cores to ensure improve battery life and we believe that this activity has been taking place in the A10 Fusion to evangelize better screen-on time for the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus.

Correction: it's iv fiddling cores and ii large ones, with all of them being able to run at the aforementioned fourth dimension.

With TSMC's 10nm FinFET architecture, Apple was at liberty to increase the number of cores and even later maintaining the number of functioning cores on the iPhone 8 and last yr'south iPhone family unit, it should effortlessly exist able to slice through the contest.

No other details have been provided regarding the A11 chipset, and so we'll have to wait for Apple'due south September 12 keynote to deliver more statistics and performance differences in their detailed charts.
