Apple A7 vs Intel Core i7-2600S: 27 facts in comparison
1. total clock speed
76.79% faster CPU clock speed.
2 x 1.3GHz
4 x 2.8GHz
2. semiconductor size
A smaller size indicates that the process to create the chip is newer.
32nm
3. CPU threads
More threads result in faster performance and better multitasking.
4. GPU clock speed
The graphics processing unit (GPU) has a higher clock speed.
450MHz(Imagination Technologies PowerVR G6430)
850MHz
5. Has integrated graphics
With integrated graphics you don’t need to buy a separate graphics card.

6. L1 cache
A larger L1 cache results in faster CPU and system-wide performance.
256KB
7. L2 cache
A larger L2 cache results in faster CPU and system-wide performance.
8. L2 core
More data can be stored in the L2 cache for access by each core of the CPU.
0.5MB/core
0.25MB/core
9. Supports 64-bit
A 32-bit operating system can only support up to 4GB of RAM. 64-bit allows more than 4GB, giving increased performance. It also allows you to run 64-bit applications.
