Neste generasjons iPhone

[Marasmus]

Her er litt interessant info om prosessoren i iPhone 3GS:

 

The new processor is based on the ARM Cortex-A8 core which is far faster than the older ARM11 in the current iPhone 3G. The 600Mhz Cortex-A8 is basically as fast as an ARM11 (used in all smartphones except the Pre) running at 1200mhz.

The 600Mhz Cortex-A8 is plenty fast for now, especially considering that Apple won't skimp on battery life. The only thing they could have done is jack the clock-speed to 800mhz or so.

 

The only chips faster than the one in the iPhone 3GS that will be available in 2009 are the 45nm versions of OMAP3 (1.0Ghz) and Qualcomm Snapdragon.(up to 1.3Ghz). The dual-core Cortex-A9 chips are not ready for production yet.

 

In 2010, the dual-core, 45nm OMAP4 and dual-core 45nm Qualcomm Snapdragon chips will be out. I'm sure the iPhone will upgrade next summer.

 

Kan virke som det er meget sannsynlig at iPhone 3GS har nøyaktig samme CPU og GPU som Palm Pre.
