SoC in the next iPhone

[iceterminal]

I think that Steve Jobs was right in the first place.

The iPhone is not a personal computer and should not be viewed in the same light. It should not matter the number of cores, or the speed of such, as the hardware should be transparent.

If the software is written properly, the end user wouldn't be able to tell if its 8 core or 80 core.

Debating on how many cores are best or how much memory is needed is the age old PC argument. Write the software correctly, and this all goes away.

I believe, rightfully so.

you're right. the iPhone is not a personal computer. However, it is a mobile entertainment device and Apple markets it that way. The technical specs are important.

I think we may get A5X in this phone and the A6 will be reserved for the "S" treatment next year.

"The new iPhone S" - I think there will be no more S Versions

Sure, I agree. They are important. But not to the equivalent that a PC would. Seeing people make statements such as core vs core while using this as a foundation of their discussion seems slanted off track as to communicate that of the mobile platform.
I'm merely pointing that out.

He a5x is way to big for a phone. It plain won't fit. Who knows what they will put in.

IMO, it'll be the same chip as in the 4S.

The best scenario would be A-15 + SGX544MP2 but it's too early for that. Probably next year.
