A look at the architecture of Apple A6: unique design, 3 GPUs and manufactured by Samsung

t's no secret that Apple and Samsung are being very badly. The first was that the second one will have to pay $ 1 billion dollars, but the second seems not to care and instead launches videos like this mocking iPhone fans to step 5 and propaganda makes the Galaxy S3. And yet, despite the mutual contempt that have both companies, we will find the technology of Samsung in the iPhone 5.
If you're somebody who really are interested in knowing the components of your phone and not content simply to determine the frequency and amount of processor cores, then you probably know that the A5 processor found in the iPhone 4S was created by Samsung as well as the chip A5X incorporating the new iPad / iPad 3. Things are clear: it is only good business, as would Lord Cutler Beckett. If not so, Samsung would not bother again be Apple supplier, and this time with A6 chips for the new iPhone 5.
If your eye had an appreciation of a microscope, what you see in the picture is what you'd find in the A6 processor. This is a measuring matrix bit long and 9mm wide. If you are not an expert on processors, like I do, then do not worry, because the interesting parts are marked in yellow, which clearly shows the portion of the dual-core ARM and the three GPUs.
As you will notice at first glance, the design of the dual-core and GPU is quite different, when normally look a bit. This is because the portion of the core has been worked by hand, which is extremely rare today, but this way Apple has achieved a great power for its new smartphone without draining the battery quickly.
Why design this by hand? It certainly takes longer and is a more expensive process, but it is clear that the benefit is to improve the performance. Another possible theory is that Apple ran into problems when he was developing the iPhone 5 and not to delay the departure date had to opt for manual labor. In any case, this resulted in an estimated processor is twice as fast as its predecessor.

Watch Samsung and Apple , it seems that in the coming months will have more competition from LG, as the manufacturer introduced yesterday we regard as your best mobile to date, a supersmartphone we saw here earlier and called LG Optimus G . This small 4.7 inch really is a beast and can, without problems, to rival even the Galaxy S3.
Under its cover, the Optimus G carries a powerful Snapdragon S4 Pro 1.5GHz quad-core, which as stated above is Krait architecture and is above even S3 processor. To make things more interesting, LG has decided to place you 2GB of RAM to your new baby and a powerful 13-megapixel camera, not to mention the presence of Android 4.0. Why was not included Jelly Bean? Perhaps LG started designing with Ice Cream Sandwich in mind and thought it was not worth it to start from scratch again when Android 4.1 was released.
But it does not end here, as the LG Optimus G has also a 1.3 megapixel front camera also has Bluetooth 4.0, Wi-Fi, LTE, USB 2.0 , A-GPS, MHL, DLNA, NFC, 2100mAh battery and WXGA screen is a 4.7-inch True HD with 1280 × 768 pixels and features 32GB of memory.

Samsung Galaxy S4 would be presented in February

My first thought when I heard this was "so soon?" And you probably think of something. They have not even been five months since its launch the Galaxy S3 and is already talking about the presentation of Samsung Galaxy S4.
According to reports, a seller has confirmed that we could see the new family member Galaxy S at Mobile World Congress 2013, which will take place around February. The new specifications will find a larger screen (how the Galaxy Note's perhaps?) And of course have LTE connectivity.
For now Samsung's goal is to sell 30 million units of the Galaxy S3, which the company expects to achieve smooth, though of course that the iPhone 5 could be an obstacle to achieving that.
Now, about the S4, it would be just a presentation and it would take place within five months. Looking back, the Galaxy S2 was announced in February 2011 at MWC and released in May of that year, while the S3 was announced and released in May this year. By comparison, it does not seem so far-fetched that the presentation of the new S4 is in February and I bet that the smartphone will be released in May next year.
What do you think about this?

A little comparison between the iPhone 5 and Galaxy S3

As we know, the iPhone 5 was released last week and the Galaxy S3 was released in May. Both phones are considered the best in the world, but obviously this leads to a lot of people ask, "What is best?". To answer this, Samsung has created an interesting propaganda for S3 which also serves as a comparison between the two devices. Admittedly, the new iPhone is nothing revolutionary when compared with the previous model, but it seems that Apple this time was more interested in improving the part of hardware mainly, which has certainly done well, although personally I would have liked I had an extra 1GB of RAM.
The comparison in question can see here below, and obviously is the choice of the reader to decide which is the best of both.

The news was released by analyst firm Canaccord Genuity. According to analyst Michael Walkley "We believe this is the first month that the iPhone 4S is not the smartphone with the highest number of sales since it was launched in October 2011." Mobile sales have declined in recent months, and many believe it is due to be launched soon Apple iPhone 5.
At the same time, sales of the Galaxy S3 have done very well, so combining these two factors do not seem odd that the S3 has become the best selling smartphone in August.
However, competition will become more interesting when Apple introduces the iPhone 5, which will happen on September 12, in only one week, in an event that has already been confirmed by Apple.
There will be outstanding.

Some may not know, but Samsung had planned to release a version of the Galaxy S3 would count for anything less than 64GB of memory.
