iPad's Custom Apple A4 Processor Revealed
As imagined, Apple could not keep a
secret on its A4 processor for long. So, certain aspects linked to
the custom-built processor featured in the new iPad have surfaced. It
seems that the new and much awaited iPad is going to feature
ARM-based CPU and GPU.
The new Apple A4 based on ARM processor
architecture runs at 1GHz. This A4 processor seems to have actually
been manufactured back in September 2009. Apple says that the new
processor is so powerful that it will allow users to enjoy no less
than 10 hours of battery life, as well as over one month of standby.
Steve Jobs claimed that the new iPad will be a spectacular device and
its processor seems to be one of the main reasons why. Jobs added
that A4 is the most advanced chip that Apple has created to power the
iPad.
Everything is featured in just one chip, which has the
processor, the graphics, but also the memory controller.
The fact that Apple A4 chip is going to
be featured in the iPad was just announced now, so everyone is
expecting to find out more about this impressive new update from
Apple.
It is said that Apple A4 features the Cortex-A9 MPCore, a ARM
mail 50-series GPU and a memory controller. Compared to iPhone 3GS,
the iPad will be quicker, more functional and in fact its
next-generation processor will make all other similar devices seem
slow and overpassed.
Consequently, it is expected for the
new generation iPhone to feature this processor, too. The new iPhone
is said to be introduced this year, but the release date is yet to be
confirmed by the famous manufacturer.
Naturally, as it happened with
all Apple devices, probably rumors on the release of the iPad and the
new iPhone will continue in the following period.
So, Apple confirmed that a new iPhone
will be out this year, but it is yet to see what will happen. The
famous manufacturer announced the original iPhone six months before
the moment of its release, back in 2007. iPhone 3G was announced
about two months before the official release.
So, Apple likes to keep
a surprise on its plans and most likely the company will continue to
implement this type of policy.
