Apple iPhone 5s benchmark

Mysterious M7 co-processor used for continuous monitoring of the gyroscope, magnetometer and accelerometer is a chip manufactured by NXP, formerly Philips division model is NXP LPC18A1. It is interesting that Apple chose a dedicated solution instead of A7 CPU usage, but probably NXP solution offered a much lower energy consumption.
The first 64-bit processor appeared on a mobile handset, Apple uses the architecture ARMv8 A7 and A6 as the previous model, uses an internally developed by Apple and not a licensed directly from ARM.
Called the Cyclone, the new processor is also a dual-core product clocked at the same frequency of 1.3 GHz, which is an improved version and expanded support processor ARMv8 previous Swift. Apple promised jump performance was not just a word in the wind, this solution beyond quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 in some tests and being in the same league with the new Bay Trail Intel.

The second novelty of the new platform is the graphics core Apple, iPhone 5S is the first commercial product that uses the sixth-generation Power VR graphics processors. The solution chosen by Apple's PowerVR G6430, this member of Rogue generation programmable providing architecture as AMD or NVIDIA dedicated solutions, four processing units by 16 units of parallel computing, which makes it the fastest graphics processor available today on a cell phone.
