Apple A10X
System on a chip (SoC) designed by Apple Inc.
The Apple A10X Fusion is a 64-bit ARM-based system on a chip (SoC) designed by Apple Inc. , part of the Apple silicon series, and manufactured by TSMC . It first appeared in the 10.5" iPad Pro and the second-generation 12.9" iPad Pro which were both announced on June 5, 2017.[ 6] The A10X is a variant of the A10 and Apple claims that it has 30 percent faster CPU performance and 40 percent faster GPU performance than its predecessor, the A9X .[ 6]
Design
The A10X features an Apple-designed 64-bit 2.38 GHz[ 3] ARMv8-A six-core CPU, with three high-performance Hurricane cores and three energy-efficient Zephyr cores.[ 5] [ 1] The A10X also integrates a twelve-core graphics processing unit (GPU)[ 5] which appears to be the same Apple customized Imagination PowerVR cores used in the A10 .[ 7] Embedded in the A10X is the M10 motion coprocessor .[ 8]
Built on TSMC's 10 nm FinFET process[ 7] with a die size of 96.4mm2 , the A10X is 34% smaller than the A9X and was the smallest iPad SoC upon its release.[ 1] The A10X is the first TSMC 10nm chip to be used by a consumer device.[ 1]
The A10X is paired with 4 GB of LPDDR4 memory in the second-generation 12.9" iPad Pro[ 9] and the 10.5" iPad Pro,[ 2] and 3 GB in the 4K Apple TV.[ 10]
The A10X has video codec encoding support for H.264 . It has decoding support for HEVC ,[ 11] H.264, MPEG-4 , and Motion JPEG .[ 12]
