Apple's die size

The A10 is the largest one they've done. What I'm curious about is what is all that extra area for? They've grown by 30% and the small cores could only account for a tiny fraction of that. I'm sure the image processing for the dual camera is part of that, but can't begin to account for it all.

A6 - 96 sq mm

A7 - 102 sq mm

A8 - 89 sq mm

A9 - 96 sq mm / 104 sq mm (TSMC / Samsung)

A10 - 125 sq mm
