LONDON — Apple Inc. has not said very much about its A4 processor.
However, it is widely supposed that a design team that came from Apple's acquisition of P.A. Semiconductor Inc. — known to have ARM design expertise — was given an architectural ARM license to come up with a best-in-class power efficient microprocessor. It is also supposed that result of this two-year gestation is the A4 inside the iPad computer tablet.
