Good news, everyone! It's confirmed that the new iPad is indeed slightly "faster" than the iPad 2. Early benchmarks of the new iPad show that the actual clock speed of the A5X SoC is still set at 1GHz, the same speed as the iPad2. But the new model also rocks 1GB of RAM, which should make for a smoother and faster experience. Plus, as Apple stated in the announcement keynote, the A5X rocks a quad-core graphics chip for better graphic performance.Apple rarely talks nerd-level specs. The company would much rather talk about marketable improvements based on user experience -- you know, general arbitrary nonsense. That's why Tim Cook & Co. just glazed over the technical improvements during the new iPad's launch and instead focused on new features. It was mentioned that the new tablet has an updated A5X SoC but the actual clock speed and amount of RAM was never mentioned. In many ways Apple's method is right. The spec is dead -- but just for Apple. Listing specs is only important when comparing competing products. There is no direct competitor to the iPad.
