iPad 3 latest rumors: A6 processor is still a dual-core architecture

If according to previous news, iPad 3 will be equipped with faster A6 quad-core processor is basically not running, but now it looks like there are variables. Foreign media The Verge quoted unsigned sources as saying that the A6 chip used in the iPad 3 will still maintain a dual-core structure, not the four-core version that is now widely circulated.

In addition, the news also revealed that the iPad 3 graphics chip performance will be more powerful, but the operating frequency and other parameters are not available. As for the screen, it still maintains the previous 9.7-inch touch screen, and the screen resolution will be double that of the iPad 2, ie 2048×1536 pixels, and the thickness of the body will be increased in order to accommodate more capacity. Battery and backlight.

If the rumors are true, then the A6 processor used in the iPad 3 should be an upgraded version of the current A5 dual-core, which seems to be exactly the same with the recent Samsung's approach, not long ago Samsung announced the latest Exynos 5250 processor, also dual-core rather than quad-core The operating frequency is up to 2GHz and the new ARM Cortex-A15 architecture is adopted. However, judging from the current situation, Apple's dual-core processors still have a certain performance advantage in the tablet market, but as the future quad-core processors are gradually superior, they do not know whether this situation can continue. However, we believe that even if the upgraded A6 processor is still a dual-core architecture, it will not be worse. Of course, it seems that Apple has never won with hardware performance.
