G+_Kevin Spitzer (JaguarXT Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 A bit of a fanboy point of view but still what's the future of the A line? This hardware is way more powerfull than mobile needs. http://appleinsider.com/articles/14/03/31/analysis-affirms-apples-a7-processor-closer-to-a-desktop-cpu-than-regular-mobile-chip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Joe Phelps Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 It's amazing how Apple managed to keep the A7's development such a secret from everyone in the industry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Eng. Jorge Santana Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Samsung mobile devices r running Qualcomm chipsets. Apple CPU is not available to other companies, the GPU(rouge) is but android is mostly running Qualcomm/intel GPU(Tegra). Apple could make $$$ if they would license their CPU architecture but that's never going to happen IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Joe Phelps Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Eng. Jorge Santana I think Tegra is Nvidia's product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Eng. Jorge Santana Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 The obvious to me is the appla tv for gaming. Basicly power supplied to the chipset is what's holding it back. A apple tv won't have those constrains. To bad android consoles fail it would have given apple a push to make apple tv a gaming console to.
