The new chipset will have an all-big-core CPU design and is expected to be based on TSMC’s 4nm process. It features a Cortex-X4 core clocked at 3.21GHz, three Cortex-A720 cores running at a max of 3.01GHz, two Cortex-A720 cores clocked at 2.80GHz, and a pair of Cortex-A720 cores clocked at 2.02GHz, which provides plenty of performance for any kind of task.
