The iPad 3 Doesn’t Have a Quad-Core CPU, Sources Say

Sources talking to The Verge about the latest iPad 3 leaks say the new Apple tablet will deliver pretty much everything that’s been rumored, save for a quad-core CPU.

People who are allegedly familiar with the next-generation iPad are telling the publication that Apple has ordered a double resolution display — “a true iPad Retina Display, clocking in at 2048 x 1536.”

The sources further said that the iPad 3 would be almost identical to its predecessor in terms of design and form factor, and that it might be about 1 millimeter thicker.

Finally, these people said, “the A6 CPU the iPad 3 is likely to sport will include a significantly more powerful GPU.” Nothing to gush about here, except the same people say “the A6 will not be a quad-core chip, but will remain dual-core.”
