A15 Bionic in Apple TV 4K model consists of 5 cores
The A15 Bionic, used for the first time in the iPhone 13 model, had different graphics core counts between the standard iPhone and Pro iPhone models. In addition, Apple had previously trimmed the graphics core in the M1 and M2 processors, but it seems that the company has also cut the CPU core this time. According to information from Macrumors, the A15 Bionic used in the new generation Apple TV 4K has 5 CPU cores instead of 6 CPU cores. In addition, the number of GPU cores is stated as 4, as in the iPad mini 6.
The A15 Bionic’s excellent performance is already too much for a device like the Apple TV, so the company’s core clipping will not go unnoticed by users, but this is of course unusual. It seems that the company will continue to use new chipsets in different products by customizing them.
