Early iPad Air 2 benchmark suggests tri-core CPU, 2 GB of RAM | Ars Technica

Apple will install its own designed chip on iPhone and iPad. The chip mounted on the iPad Air 2 is called A8X, which is different from the A7 chip mounted on the iPad Air corresponding to the previous model and the A8 chip mounted on the iPhone 6/6 Plus is.

On Apple's official page, "The new A8X chip shows 40% faster CPU performance compared to the A7 chip", "The A8X chip demonstrates 2.5 times the astounding graphic performance of the A7 chip" Although it is there, it is unclear what kind of hardware configuration actually will be.

Meanwhile, the benchmark software Geekbench Browser was based on words on Apple's official pageBenchmark resultsIs posted. This benchmark result is based on the assumption of the CPU, RAM, etc. installed in the iPad Air 2 so that the A8X chip can demonstrate the performance as Apple's words, and it is said to be "iPad 5, 4" on the page That's the iPad Air 2. According to it, it is necessary for iPad Air 2 to have 3 core configuration CPU and 2 GB memory in order to demonstrate Apple's declared performance.

CPU benchmark results are as follows. The higher the numerical value, the higher the performance, so the "single core" shows how much performance is achieved with 1 core of the CPU, and how much the performance will be "multicore" as a whole . The orange color graph of "multicore" represents the performance of the whole CPU, and the configuration of the CPU was guessed so that the numerical value of iPad Air 2 is increased by 40% than the numerical value of iPad Air.

Single core


Multicore


John Poole of Primate Labs, who is developing Geekbench Browser, seems pretty confident about this speculation. Until now Apple has added some changes between the iPhone and the chip to be mounted on the iPad, like having A6 chip on iPhone 5 and A6X chip on 4th generation iPad, None of the CPU's cores changed, the main change was GPU performance improvement.
