Apple A5 is the latest Chipset with Dual-Core CPU that is fix in Apple iPad 2. Well as we all know Apple always keeps the secrets about it’s products and brings surprises to the World same is the case with iPad 2 and Apple A5, it’s not very clear what’s inside the home-brewed architecture, but here’s what we assumed it to have. Lets talk about the CPU first, it’s Dual-Core Cortex-A9 which is a real safe thing.
ARM Architecture is present as it’s pretty clear from the Image provided here aswell. It’s hard to say anything about Clock Speed but I will run around 1 GHz. This is also on a chance that Apple’s used two Cores to 800 MHz for the improved Battery Life, but the smart money really is on a gigahertz. Talking about iPad 2 GPU is a much more complicated matter. What has come out from Apple is that it’s 9 times faster than the PowerVR SGX535 of the original iPad. Our main suspect is the multi-core PowerVR SGX543 GPU, which should deliver a performance that roughly fits the description. This was also what previous rumors suggested so we would rate its probability as pretty high. By the way, here’s what you’ll see if you remove the display of the iPad 2. The Apple A5 chip can be seen right next to the battery, almost right in the middle. The whole place is taken by the huge Li-Polymer battery. In fact, it’s the same 25Whr battery used in the previous gen iPad. Only this time, it’s positioned to the side (as on the iPhone 4) and not in the middle (as on the original iPad). Finally, we come to the available RAM. There is absolutely no available information on that one, but we’d be shocked to find out if the iPad 2 has anything less than 512 MB of RAM. An increase over the measly 256 MB that the first iPad offered is mandatory a doubling seems to us like the perfectly reasonable thing to do. That move will provide all the RAM heavy multi-taskers might need without skyrocketing the production costs.
