My take, with no supporting evidence, is that Apple stuffed two A8 into the A5. I suspect they couldn't get the production guarantees they needed for the A9s in this time frame. And this will give them headroom for a nice speed bump if they do an iPad3 in the fall.
- glhaynes 16y agoIf iPad 3 has a retina display, it'll need a lot more power to even feel the same speed as the second-gen one with so many more pixels being pushed around. So yeah it'd make sense to not go all out on iPad 2 performance, since it still appears to get a nice performance boost compared to the original.
