The platform includes a dual core Atom processor with Intel Hyper-Threading Technology, and also features a dual-core graphics engine.
The iPad is based on the new A5X quad core graphics chip, features a 5 megapixel camera, 1080p video recording, and voice dictation.
Where 3rd-generation Core graphics were divided into two tiers, the new generation is focused on three, two of which are built for performance over efficiency.
Along with receiving "enhanced" 4K output, the new Core graphics can handle a 3-screen collage mode -- we won't need dedicated video for a large, multi-monitor canvas.
The Tegra 4 (codenamed Wayne) will apparently offer the same power-efficient 28nm process found on its Snapdragon rival and according to the slide from Chip Hell, there's a dizzying 72-core graphics setup.
Speculation about the cause has focused on the power-hungry LED-backlit Retina display, the new A5X processor with its quad core graphics, the 4G LTE chipset present in some of the flavors offered and the new, larger battery pack.

And partly thanks to the Adreno 320 graphics core, the MDP even scored an astonishing 132fps in our GLBenchmark test, while the quad core Galaxy S III with Mali-400 graphics came second with 99fps, with the remaining devices lingering around 60fps only.
As it turns out, it runs a quad-core version of AMD's new Temash chip, which is being billed as the first quad-core, x86-based SoC. (There's also a dual-core version.) Built into the chip is an HD Radeon 8000 series GPU with AMD's Graphics Core Next architecture, so in theory you should be able to pull off PC-caliber gaming even on a tablet.

The end result for Edge is a third-generation Intel Core processor, NVIDIA GeForce graphics and more memory than any other tablet currently on the market.
It has a fast multi-core processor, separate chips for graphics and sound, and a hard drive.
Certainly if core gameplay remained fairly unchanged and graphics saw a major overhaul, many fans would be happy.
FORBES: 'Dark Souls 2' Will Stay True To Its Roots, Hopefully
The introduction of the dual-core A5 chip (that's dual-core on the CPU and the graphics side) is a huge boon for the touch.
It's also offered with multiple Core i7 processor options, whereas the Series 9 is only available with Core i5, and with integrated graphics only.

Along with a microprocessor that serves as a PC's core calculating engine, Spider includes graphics technology for serving up the advanced graphics beloved by gamers and a chipset that ties those elements together and connects them to other resources such as the main memory.
You'll also get a third-gen Core i5 processor with Intel HD Graphics 4000 (no more specifics on that just yet), 4GB of RAM, a Mini DisplayPort that can output a 2560 x 1440 resolution, a full-size USB 3.0 port and, of course, Windows 8 Pro with support for all your traditional desktop applications.
Current MacBooks use Nvidia graphics chips along with Intel Core i series and Core 2 Duo processors.
