With the help of fancy, expensive equipment, Chipworks produced a die photograph of the A7. It looks a lot like its predecessor, the A6.

Early on, our good friends at Chipworks had this to say about the A7:

“We have confirmed through early analysis that the device is fabricated at Samsung’s Foundry. We suspect we will see Samsung's 28 nm Hi K metal Gate (HKMG) being used."

You'd think they'd just stop at the die and call it good, amirite?
