During ARM’s Q3 financial results, 9to5mac noticed something. It includes a license for ARM’s 2GHz implementation of a dual core Cortex-A9 processor.
The Cortex A9 is said to be 5 times faster then an Intel Atom and uses the same amount of power but is 60 percent smaller.
“Apple is rumored to be an ARM licensee and that that they’ve reportedly split the PA Semi group up into two parts. One working on Smartphone chips the other working on tablet processors. It is now generally accepted that the Apple tablet will run a ARM Cortex processor. It will likely want a bit more horsepower than the ARM Cortex A8-class Samsung chip inside the iPhone 3GS.”
This could be the processor of the next iPhone. Maybe the processor for the iTablet? What do you think?
