Alongside the iPad 3, Apple has been expected to introduce its next-generation mobile processor as well. The assumption was that it would be a quad-core A6chip, naturally following the progression of the A4 chip that shipped in the original iPad, and the A5 chip that was included in the iPad two. Even so, if the above image is to be believed, Apple won't be releasing the A6 processor with the iPad 3, and will rather go with the A5X processor. Why the difference? We figure that this matches current reports that Apple would not be bumping the processor to quad-core in the iPad three, and would rather ship a faster version of the A5 that has drastically enhanced graphics power.
