Apple S7

► remove from comparison Apple S7

The Apple S7 is a 64-Bit dual core processor for the Apple Watch Series 7. It integrates a GPU, 32 GB flash memory, Bluetooth 5.0, 1 GB RAM, 802.11 b/g/n 2.4 and 5 GHz WiFi and satellite positioning (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, QZSS). According to Apple the SiP has two CPU cores based on the Apple A13 and offers 20% more performance than the old Apple S5 in the Watch Series 5. It looks like the S7 is technically identical with the Apple S6 (sama model number of t8301).

Intel Core i7-10700K
