According to the American technology blog 9 to5mac reports, iOS 5.1 beta of the processor core management software shows, this system not only support dual-core processor, will also support four processors, show that apple will soon launched four nuclear iPhone and iPad.
Apple is widely expected to will ascend a new generation of iOS hardware speed, but specific with what is controversial way. The first generation of the 1 GHz for iPad frequency of mononuclear A4 processor, after a year of iPad 2 used the dual-core processor A5, although it was not clear whether the iPad 3 will be adopted four processors, but iOS 5.1 part of the code shows that apple is currently testing four nuclear iOS devices.
In iOS 5.1 beta of the system, the new processor core management software includes a “/ cores/core. 3″ option, it represents the fourth can use processor core.
According to reliable, according to the people familiar with the parameters from “0″ start. For example, monocyte the equipment will be limited to “/ cores/core. 0″, dual-core “/ cores/core. 1″. So iOS 5.1 beta contains “/ cores/core. 3″ show that the system will support four processors.
Apple iPad 3 is currently testing iOS 5.1, so the system contains four nuclear parameters the meaning of a thing. From the previous upgrade experience, with the top two generations are used for the iPad mononuclear and modern dual-core CPU, so the third generation product adopted four processors also in reason. Not only that, previously and rumors that apple has started to develop four nuclear A6 processor, and is expected to be put into use in 2012.
Because asus has launched a new launch four nuclear processor Android tablet computer, so apple might not dying out there, and will in the hardware performance with the toughest opponents.
From a technical perspective, a new generation of iOS devices using four processors have a greater chance of. Due to the four processors can better support high marks screen, previously had rumors iPad 3 will be using high resolution “retinal” screen. Look from whole, four processors will also for the game and operating system to bring a more fluent use experience, and dramatically speed taking pictures.
According to the Steve Jobs preach “account, the late apple co-founder Steve Jobs (Steve Jobs) once said, want to restore photography industry, so dramatically speed also fully conform to take pictures of his this dream.
