Good eyes, and yes that should be the main processor. Its similar to the processor in Blaze.

In one of the picture of the dcrainmaker review, you can read this reference on one of the chip : TZ1201XBG
It's a Toshiba ARM processor : https://toshiba.semicon-storage.com/eu/product/assp/applite/tz1200.html
(I don't know if it's the main processor)

Thanks for your replies,.... much appreciated! Looks as if the Ionic processor is more performing compared to fenix 3 but worse than AW3... (MHZ). Certainly not the most important factor to judge on a smartwatches' horse power, though....

@CGP_2507 Fenix 3 has a faster processor vs Ionic. AW3 processor is much much faster.
Versus Ionic, the Fenix 3 has a faster microcontroller - 180MHz NXP K66 (Cortex-M4). The Ionic has a 120MHz Toshiba Cortex-M4. Keep in mind these are microcontrollers, and only capable of running a simple OS. These processors are *not* capable of running Android, iOS, or Windows. The Ionic processor has 2.2MB on-chip RAM, and I see a slower off-chip PSRAM in the photo.
The AW3 has a high-end application processor, its in a different class and much faster but in return requires more battery versus a microcontroller. The AW2 had a 780MHz dual-core processor, the new AW3 has a 70% faster processor. Wikipedia reports 768MB DRAM.
