Your write up is really impressive, thanks and well done!What kind of team puts out a chip design 6 months early? The same kind of team that beats everyone else to market with 64-bit by a whole year.
Honest question, what about dual core processors bore you? Are you a software developer that sees a need in your apps for quad core, or just hoping for an increased spec to marvel at?
I did the Samsung Ultimate Test Drive with a Note 5 and after spending a month with a device with more than 2 cores I came to a conclusion. For what I do on a phone, it isn't about the number of cores or the amount of RAM, but how efficient the OS and the software are. The Note 5, on paper, has specs that should destroy my 6s (more RAM, more cores, etc). However, I found the Note 5 to have moments where the phone would just stutter in animations, take longer to swap between apps that were still current in the launcher, and numerous other little oddities that shouldn't be happening on a device with that much computational power.
If Apple is going to try to play the "compete @ specs game" I'd rather see them implement the OLED panel (assuming they can iron out the burn in effects).
I don't think you know what your saying? A4 is the king! was revolutionary compared with other Ax chips, saying that A6 is better..that's like saying iPhone 5 was more revolutionary than iPhone original or iPhone 4I agree but i think the A6 deserves the spot there as well, even more so than the A4.

Seems to me you don't like Steve that much, the guy who created this web page..and i don't mean because this is Apple fan site..i mean the web page!
Sounds like it be a 9x - not that would be buyers would complain about getting a 9x but what exactly its taxing the 8X - that chip is ridiculous powerful/fast still.So they originally planned for the spring 2015 iPP to share the A8X with the Air 2. This certainly bodes well for chip parity on the rumoured Air 3. I'd assumed the Air 3 would get an inbetweener 'A9S' chip. Question is, will they pair it with 4Gb of ram?
Amen, I long for the day Apple does it allBye, Intel.
The writing. The wall.
It's a pity Apple can't 'fast track' some bug fixes for the iPad Pro & keyboard and while they are at it take full advantage of this 12.9 in screen. Especially after Tim Cook going on about "who needs a laptop", why on earth there is no real file management system, mouse support and intelligent use of the screen real estate in ALL Apple apps is beyond me. This thing would appeal to SO many more people. I still love it and won't go back to a 9in but it's also frustrating.
Hahaha ironically, I do use 5 blades one. 2 blade razor simply doesn't cut it!I got bored of razors with only two blades in them, so now I buy razors with seven blades in them.
Stupid question... when do you think that they're going 128-bit?
The development rate in Apple's chips has been insane. That's definitely one area where I truly can't fault them.
Some day, I hope to see an A-style chip in one of their computers. Though I don't know if it would be ARM or x86.
Just because you have a massive budget doesn't mean you need to use all of it. Why spend an extra $50 on each shelf when the $40 shelf meets all your needs. The savings is extra money you can invest somewhere else.
And yet they only show Live Fotos in their actual commercials. Apple should make something like this for A-series:This is one area I think Apple is really shining these days. A great PR move to help educate investors and end users about the amount of work and detail Apple puts into their products.

He was awarded 90,000 RSUs in December for his hard work? I just googled RSU to USD and that is the equivalent of $1300 USD.
I'm an idiot. I thought he was paid in Indian rupees instead of restricted stock units.Funny when I google it, the RSU measures up to 8.5 MUSD
We would love to see how Apple handles quad core chip if at all they release such type of SOC in future. I am getting bored of dual cores.
I understand your point but those shelves are the cheapest crap you can buy. I was surprised when I saw them too. They are held up by those little beveled black plastic collars. I had the exact same shelves at work and we trashed them and upgraded because they were that bad. It looks like Apple modified them at bit with those heavy duty brackets between every unit which is the reason they look so straight and perfectly aligned.
