According to iFixIt:
When compared to the rigid, efficient layout of the GPU cores directly below
it, the layout of the ARM cores looks a little homespun—at first.
- Generally, logic blocks are automagically laid out with the use of advanced
computer software. However, it looks like the ARM core blocks were laid out
manually—as in, by hand.
- A manual layout will usually result in faster processing speeds, but it is
much more expensive and time consuming.
- The manual layout of the ARM processors lends much credence to the rumor
that Apple designed a custom processor of the same caliber as the all-new
Cortex-A15, and it just might be the only manual layout in a chip to hit the
market in several years.

虽然我对Intrinsity真的采取Full Costum保持怀疑,Manual Layout这个说法也太笼统。
不过感觉得出来阿婆已经开始朝用 ARM 架构授权而自行开发处理器的路发展。现在在A6
这个看到高度客制化的成果,又看到IP5一无可取得超烂发表会,难道阿婆开始要走硬件
路线吗?
