IPhone 5S A7 Processor: 31% Faster, 64-Bit and Movement Tracking Chip

Very soon we will have with us the new iPhone. If the predictions do not fail, the iPhone 5S could incorporate the new Apple A7 SoC. Before rumors start many thought the iPhone 5S could inherit the chip A6X iPad 4, but now it seems that Apple released the new SoC with its flagship.

Today we met a few reports suggesting that Apple may be testing with 64-bit processors, in addition to the possibility of using a second chip specifically for motion tracking. Furthermore, the same source claims that the A7 SoC, according to him, include the iPhone 5S will be 31% faster than the current A6 of the iPhone 5 .

The A7 seems to be 31% faster than the A6, which could have a 64-bit architecture and also could incorporate a motion tracking chip

The information has been leaked in a couple of tweets by Clayton Morris , which ensures that the next iPhone could be a 31% faster and have a specific chip for motion tracking . The new chip, sources said Morris, uses 64-bit technology , compared with the current A6 processor is 32-bit.

If this were true, is very similar to what has been incorporated in the new smartphone Motorola Moto X. This device uses a dual-core processor Qualcomm standard but includes a standard 4 GPU cores nothing. It also has two separate processors that handle natural language and contextual use through the phone's sensors. This gives better performance and increases battery life.

For Apple is a bit easier to create custom chips that provide specific benefits because they do not use third party processors like Qualcomm, Samsung and others. Instead, design your own silicon to do exactly what they want.

If the reports are true, the speed increase may be less than previous models , but that could change over time as iOS is set to take advantage of 64-bit chips. Slowly migrated Apple Mac applications from 32 to 64 bits until OS X was fully optimized for full compatibility with 64-bit. As discussed in GigaOM , using specific chip dedicated to certain tasks Apple could get increase battery life .

What do you think? You see enough an increase of 31% speed on the iPhone 5?
