Rumour:The iPad 2 and iPhone 5 Will Use Dual-Core CPUs
Ashok Kumar, analyst at Rodman & Renshaw, claims that Apple will include a dual-core CPU into the upcoming iPad successor that will help it compete against the devices like Motorola’s Stingray tablet and the BlackBerry PlayBook.He believes that we’ll be seeing the dual-core 1GHz ARM Cortex A9 chip by March. The iPad 2 won’t be the only iDevice getting a dual-core refresh, says Kumar, as he expects the iPhone 5 to get a similar treatment later in the summer of 2011.
