said by Thinkdiff:Interesting thought on why they updated the iPad 3 so quickly:
Previously they were manufacturing 5 different processors:
A4 (iPhone 4)
A5 (35nm) for iPad 2 / AppleTV / iPod touch
A5 (45nm) iPhone 4S
A5X iPad 3
A6 iPhone 5
Now they might be able to simplify it:
A4
A5 (35nm) iPad 2 / ATV / iPod touch / iPhone 4S / iPad mini
A6X - iPhone 5 (extra graphics disabled) / iPad 4
Just a guess though. I'm not sure if the 4S was switched to 32nm.
Why would they still include the A4 -- are they still actually manufacturing the iPhone 4?
