If you read the reference article at the EE times [1], you will find that you would have been correct to say that the Intrinsity (now fully subsumed into Apple corporation) designed CPU core has been found to be identical to the core in Samsung S5PC110A01 chip. But the rest of the components on the SoC die are different in placement and functions. To repeat the actual die is different, not just the packaging which includes the RAM chips -- so it is correct to say its a new design by Apple. Moreover this fact is covered about two paragraphs down with "The same Cortex-A8 CPU core used in the A4 is also used in Samsung's S5PC110A01 SoC.". Feel free to word it better. -- KelleyCook ( talk) 18:50, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
Apple also hadn't any chip IP prior intrinsity acquisition. And probably still don't have Arm V7 license http://www.arm.com/products/processors/licensees.php . This A4 is a stock oem chip, please change word designed to something different. Apple is not a chip making company and microchips doesn't appear out of thin air. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.134.103.135 ( talk) 21:12, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
Pop is a feature of a board assembly and not a chip. The board on which this chip comes is not a "microchip" (comment on 21:08, 6 July 2010). Nothing prevents a manufacturer to simply die chips in simm manner instead stacking them.
ARM licensees: http://www.arm.com/products/processors/licensees.php "Apple has a long standing relation with ARM, in fact they were crucial to ARM in their early period." ??? Only as I know, once back in 198x they were rivals. As both were trying to make cheap PC alternative. Also, even if apple had arm license long time ago, they had to relicense it for V7 architecture, and specifically for V7a. And simply apple is not a microchip engineering company anymore. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.47.174.169 ( talk) 08:38, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
Why do we still argue with him, he doesn't even know the difference between Acorn and ARM, and even bases his expert status on his intimate knowledge of them being the same. Lars T. ( talk) 14:31, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
