The new fourth generation iPad features the amazing 9.7-inch Retina display and includes a new Apple-designed A6X chip that delivers up to twice the CPU performance and up to twice the graphics performance of the A5X chip, all while delivering an incredible 10 hours of battery life in the same thin and light iPad design.
The design, which combines a CPU and modem on a single chip, is more affordable, efficient and compact than systems that use two chips, said Lin.

Believe it or not, it was back in 2006 that the chipmaker first started talking about its "new class of x86 processors" and the idea of an Accelerated Processing Unit (APU) -- a chip that would combine a CPU and a fairly powerful ATI GPU onto the same die.
Under the hood, these machines will all have quad-core processors, with most models giving you a choice between an Intel Core i7 CPU and AMD's high-end A10 chip.
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.
UK-based computer chip designer Imagination Technologies is buying US central processing unit (CPU) architect Mips's business operations and some of its patents.
As you'll no doubt be aware having read our headline above, there actually isn't a 1GHz CPU at the helm, as AnandTech and IOSnoops report the dual-core ARM chip is dynamically clocked around 900MHz, likely in search of reduced power consumption.
"Their relative position versus Nvidia has improved compared to six months ago, " says Dean McCarron, president of chip tracker Mercury Research. amd is also building ati's graphics capabilities into a new CPU that may see the light of day in the second half of 2009.
