Thought to be the first Apple chip made on Samsung's new 32-nanometer manufacturing process, the A6 is more efficient at processing instructions.

It is not just overclocking that Samsung has done with the 4412, though, which was the reason for disappointment in some when it became clear Cortex-A9 instead of Cortex-A15 processor cores will be used.

While the 32nm Exynos 4 Quad in the Galaxy S III has shown impressive performance, it's unclear whether customers will prefer the raw processing power of a quad-core CPU or the feature-packed yet battery-friendly Exynos 5 Dual.

Architecturally similar to the rest of the Tegra 3 lineup, the T33 is simply a higher leakage part running at a higher voltage to hit higher clock speeds.

But it is cool that the iPad 3’s A5X delivers the same performance with four GPU cores at 2048x1536 resolution as the iPad 2’s A5 with two cores at 1024x768.

In practice, the longer pipeline should translate into a clock rate advantage Qualcomm also enables Krait with the ability to run each core's clock rate asymmetrically.

Clock speeds are up with only a small increase in pipeline depth.
