Nakuba kusasele umbuzo sasivumela impikiswano lapho izizukulwane ezintsha ze iPhone futhi i iPad, sikwazile ukuqoqa imikhondo yokuthi kuzoba njani kokubili isikhathi eside. Kuze kube manje, ulwazi oluningi esehlele kithi mayelana nabo luthinta ukuklama, ikakhulukazi endabeni ye iPad, kodwa namuhla sibe nokufinyelela kwedatha enamanzi amahle kwezabo Ukucaciswa kobuchwepheshe, sibonga ukuputshuka kokusha iprosesa kumadivayisi eselula Apple, the A7, esesikwazi nokuyibona kuyo izithombe.
Njengoba kubikiwe ku-inthanethi, okulandelayo A7 izoletha kumadivayisi eselula Apple ezinye izindaba ezimnandi. Ukuvuza, okuvela, njengokujwayelekile, okuvela endaweni yabahlinzeki be Apple, phakamisa ukuthi i-chip entsha izogcina igxumele isikwele se-quad, naphezu kwalokho izinguquko ezinkulu ezingalindelekile ngokwamandla ayo, ukugcina imvamisa ye I-1,2 GHz.
Mayelana ne- GPU, sizothola iphrosesa yezithombe efanayo njengaku- I-iPad 4, esesivele siphawule ngazo izikhathi ezimbalwa ukuthi inikeze imiphumela emihle kuze kube manje ngezinhlobonhlobo zokubekisa. Kuzophinde kube nentuthuko ebalulekile esigabeni se-RAM, esingafinyelela ku- 2 GB.
Eqinisweni, kusukela ku- I-iPad 5 kulindeleke ukuthi yethulwe ezinyangeni ezimbalwa kamuva kune iPhone 5S (ithebhulethi izofika Okthoba kanye ne-smartphone uJune), kungenzeka ukuthi kuyo sizobona imodeli yakamuva enamandla nakakhulu, ngendlela efanayo ne I-iPad 4 ugibele i A6X esikhundleni se A6 i-del iPhone 5. Kodwa-ke, ngenxa yalokho ngenxa yalolo suku lokwethula olulinganiselwe lusekude kakhulu, kungenzeka ukuthi ngeke kube khona ulwazi ngakho isikhathi eside. Kuyacaca, yebo, ukuthi impi yesikhathi esizayo phakathi kwamaphrosesa amasha we Apple, I-Nvidia, Qualcomm y Samsung, izosishiya amathebulethi anezici ezithembisayo ngempela esigabeni sokusebenza.
