From BGR.com | Apple surprises market with 64 bit A7 processor by Chris Smith | December 17, 2013
What is one feature in iPhone that is being downplayed in iPhone 5s that caught many smartphone competitors by surprise, and are downplaying right now? Qualcomm CMO says it is a marketing gimmick. But in reality, it is not. Look at the graph below showing its speed
It is the superfastt A7 64 bit microprocessor. It has been in PC for a while but Apple was the first one to put this in smartphone. It means the iPhone can process large chunks of data much faster than a 32 bit smartphone.
And now everybody is on a catch up mode. It is not a simple matter of putting in the microprocessor; the software has to be integrated also. Samsung announced that it will join the 64 bit race and so with Qualcomm (maybe one year after). By that time, it is kind of late.
What is the advantage companies: being the first to commercialize an innovation. And Apple so far has been successful. It is not the discovery or invention nor the innovation gene, but getting to the market first. It takes some kind of discipline and leadership to constantly be the first in market place, not the first with ideas.
I am not an Apple discipline nor a blogger for Apple. I am just reciting the data as I see them.
