Apple’s A10 Fusion chip’s GPU is just tweaked old tech

Tweaked to fool the benchmarks

While the Tame Apple Press has been praising the GPU performance innovations of the iPhone 7’s new A10 Fusion chip, they might have been fooling themselves.


A breakdown of the chip by the Linley Group said that the GPU in the iPhone 7 uses a custom version of the PowerVR GT7600 GPU, which is based on the same graphics processor architecture as in last year's iPhone 6S and 6S Plus.
Jobs’ Mob claims the A10 is two times faster than its predecessor, the A9, and the GPU about 50 percent faster.
