Apple unveiled the new iphone 4 yesterday in San Francisco, their design homeland from where originate their license to publish 'Designed in California' on all products.
It is an amazing product with many new features well visible here (this would need quicktime installed). With this product Apple aims to re-conquer lost ground after Google's android and other smartphones capitalized market and application developer's inclination.
At the heart of the great many features is the new A4 processor manufactured by Samsung. Wherein lies nanotechnology..this new processor is made of transistors (the basic binary computing unit used in electronics today) with features as small as 45 nanometers (nm), roughly a thousand times smaller than the thickness of human hair. For an amazing analysis of the chip see details here.
Simply put:
Smaller the transistors, larger their number on a chip. Thus, either the device can be smaller or if the chip is still the same size then faster or both. Earlier versions were made by the 65nm technology.
For the new iphone 4 Apple has chosen both increased speed and reduced size and Samsung has delivered.
This new A4 processor can clock 1GHz speed which allows the software gurus to harness this capacity by multi-threading, piping; otherwise, efficient coding etc. amply visible in the use of any Apple Operating System.
Great advance in nanotechnology by Samsung coupled with novel Apple OS has produced the new marvel - Iphone 4.
