Apple A6X
Benchmarks & Specs

The Apple A6X represented a significant advancement in the world of mobile processors at the time. Developed by Apple and based on the custom A6 architecture, this chip delivered a considerable increase in computing power. It was designed to enable a smooth user experience. A particularly outstanding feature was the powerful integrated PowerVR SGX554MP4 graphics unit.

With its four cores, it provided a compelling visual experience. At the time, it allowed for smooth gaming of demanding titles on high-resolution displays. Manufacturing in the 32-nanometer process contributed to this. The chip thus achieved a good balance of performance and energy efficiency.

We were able to observe how smoothly many applications and multitasking scenarios ran with it at the time. With a memory bandwidth of 17 GB/s, the Apple A6X was well equipped for the demands of the time. One megabyte of Level 2 cache reliably supported the computing cores in their tasks. This processor helped to push the boundaries of what could be expected from a mobile device.

It was a mainstay and showed how much potential there was in integrated solutions.
