Processor Speed: | 1.3 GHz* | Processor Type: | Apple A7* |
Details: | *Apple officially reports that the iPhone 5s uses an "Apple A7" processor and boasts that it is the "world's first smartphone with 64-bit desktop-class architecture," but does not specify clockspeed or number of cores. Apple also reports that the device has an "M7 motion coprocessor" that "continuously measures motion data" and includes accelerometer, gyroscope, and compass functions. However, the always excellent AnandTech was first to determine that the Apple A7 processor is a ARMv8 derivative of Apple's "Swift" dual core architecture called "Cyclone" and it runs at 1.3 GHz. It also is 28 nm, has a 64k/64k level 1 (instruction/data) cache and a 1 MB level 2 cache. Also see: How fast are the iPhone 5c and iPhone 5s models compared to one another?
