Dual-Core Graphics Chip for iPhone and iPad

And off they go! Another drastic improvement is awaiting Apple’s iPhone and iPad in the future.

The fourth-generation devices will most likely be armed with a dual-core graphics chip SGX543MP2, which is said to be four times more powerful than the currently used SGX535.

Apparently, the leap to the dual-core chip has the logical grounds of iPad 2’s resolution increase intended to be made up to 2048 x 1536. It will result in far better video processing and will enable the device to ensure a decent output of an HD-signal with its HDMI port.

Rumor or not, but they say that both devices can count on as much as an ARM Cortex-A9 dual-core processor, too. Suppose they have it – the overall efficiency of iPhone and iPad will shoot up.

The new iPad 2 is planned to be presented in April, and iPhone 5, which supposedly will be modified and redesigned greatly, will shock the audience in June. Moreover, iPhone 5 is predicted to have a multi-core processor. This will enable the device to perform most challenging computing and support sophisticated games and applications, as well as HD audio, image and video processing.

Which makes us think: isn’t iPhone’s progress going too quickly? And if it takes iPhone designers so little time to modify such a complicated device so quickly – why don’t we enjoy the same frequency PC upgrades?
