Apple A10 Fusion
In September 2016, Apple unveiled the Apple A10 Fusion – a versatile 4-core mobile processor powering the iPhone 7 series. Fabricated on an efficient 16-nanometer process, the A10 introduces a new hurricane performance core architecture optimized for demanding tasks like gaming and media editing.
These two high-power cores are paired with two battery-saving Zephyr cores for lightweight duties, enabling a seamless balance of speed and longevity. With the innovative Fusion design, the A10 chip delivers substantial gains over prior Apple mobile processors while maintaining all-day battery life.
