Huh, the storage speed difference is opposite of what the theory suggests, which is weird. The RAM thing might make sense though, it’s 33% less circuitry for the clock to synchronize.
Well as i understand it the A64 can only access 2GBs of ram at one time because it uses asymmetric dual rank ram. Perhaps that has something to do with it as well.
Actually, I just thought of this: higher capacity nand is supposed to be faster assuming the NAND architecture is the same. However, what if the 2 GB model is using a lower cell density, like SLC or MLC as opposed to TLC? Lower density NAND is always faster, but has lower capacity per unit space.
