The A9X is used for iPads and they most certainly don't feature 5-6 inch screens ... WITHOUT taking throttling into account the A9X has a lower perf at 1080p in the iPad Pro than the A9 at 540p in the iPhone 6s so the latter is arguably closer at been able to deliver console like graphics than former with comparable amount of perceived aliasing ... And do you know why Apple isn't using the GT7900 ? The Tegra X1 has already salvaged it's own transistor density gains and so I expect most of the improvement on it's successor to come from them using a FinFET structure. I give them a 50% better perf/wat at BEST ... |
I'm just talking about a future Nintendo's handheld if they wanted a processor like that, they don't certainly need to use an iPad sized screen.
Apple isn't using the GT7900, that's a 16 core version of the product line, the A9X is a custom order 12 core. Actually PowerVR has said they could go even higher than that if a manufacturing vendor asked for it, there's just not much of a application need for it.
