Apple A5 vs Broadcom BCM28155 vs Texas Instruments OMAP 4430

Apple A5

► remove from comparison

The Apple A5 is a dual-core processor that contains two Cortex A9 cores. Each core is max. clocked at 900 MHz. Furthermore, the A5 integrates a relative fast PowerVR SGX 543MP2 graphics card and 512MB ram (in the same package for the iPad 2). Apple states a maximum of 2x the performance compared to the previous single core Apple A4.

Broadcom BCM28155

► remove from comparison Broadcom BCM28155

The Broadcom BCM28155 is a Dual-Core Cortex-A9 SoC with an integrated VideoCore-IV graphics card and UMTS/HSPA+ (no LTE). The two ARM Cortex-A9 processor cores run with up to 1.2 GHz. The integrated modem supports UMTS and HSPA+ but no LTE.

Texas Instruments OMAP 4430

► remove from comparison OMAP 4430

The Texas Instruments (TI) OMAP 4430 is a SoC with two ARM Cortex-A9 cores including NEON SIMD engine, two Cortex M3 cores (to save power), a PowerVR SGX540 graphics card (304-365 MHz) and a dual channel LPDDR2 memory controller (max 400 MHz).
