Broadcom BCM21664T vs Apple A6x

Broadcom BCM21664T

► remove from comparison Broadcom BCM21664T

The Broadcom BCM21664T is an ARM based entry-level SoC for smartphones that integrates two Cortex-A9 CPU cores clocked at up to 1.2 GHz and a HSPA+ modem with support for 21 Mbps HSDPA and 5.8 Mbps HSUPA. Furthermore, a VideoCore-IV GPU and a video decoder (H.264 1080p capable) and encoder (720p) are built into the SoC.

Apple A6x

► remove from comparison

The Apple A6x is a dual-core-SoC (System on a Chip) with ARM compatible CPU cores (ARMv7s instruction set). Both can be clocked at up to 1400 MHz depending on the load. It is used in the iPad 4 and compared to the A6 in the iPhone 5, the A6x offers a faster GPU (PowerVR SGX544MP4).

The CPU-Performance of the A6x is similar to the Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro MSM8960T, while the GPU is about as fast as the Adreno 320.
