Everything we have heard about the
new Apple A6 processor over the last few months is that it is expected
to be a quad core processor, although now according to a recent report
by The Verge, the A6 may not be a quad core processor after all.
We’re
also told that the A6 CPU the iPad 3 is likely to sport will include a
significantly more powerful GPU — no big surprise there. What is
surprising, however, is that our sources say that the A6 will not be a
quad-core chip.
If the A6 processor is a dual core
version instead of the rumored quad core processor, we suspect it would
be quite a bit more powerful than Apple’s existing dual core A5
processor.
