WhiteWolf Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Steve Jobs has detailed some of the specs for the iPad's successor at a reveal event in San Francisco iPad 2 is powered by A5, a new chip with dual-core processors which Jobs claims could be "twice as fast on CPU performance", while the firm claims that iPad 2's graphical performance is up to nine times faster than that of the original iPad. "We've really gone all-out on the graphics performance, up to nine times faster graphics," added Jobs. “We've really gone all-out on the graphics performance” The device will also have a gyroscope and HDMI output capabilites - put all those elements together and you have device that could start to rival current-gen games consoles for power - and for your TV.

Aftrunner Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 ^^ I think this is well worth a new thread. Not everyone goes to the Apple thread. "We've really gone all-out on the graphics performance, up to nine times faster graphics," added Jobs. Good call there Jobs. Angry birds 2 could use all that horsepower.
