I am always amused by this.
- robflynn 13y agoThat was with respect to the original iPad compared to the iPad Air . I may have misheard. I had the video minimized while working on other things.
- yeukhon 13y agoRight. But the number seems very interesting. Almost every update you see a similar number. Power of Morse Law.
- ScottWhigham 13y agoThere was a graphic they had up too that showed this - I think it was 8x over the iPad 2 but I could be wrong.
- corin_ 13y agohttp://www.apple.com/ipad-air/ http://www.apple.com/ipad-air/ says 2x for both CPU and GPU.
- venomsnake 13y agoNo it is compared to iPad one. Which makes it ridiculous. They are just keeping up with Moore's law (or are slightly ahead of the curve). And I suppose the GPU is mostly increased die area - will wait for the teardown. I think that apple is having a case of "taking ourselves too seriously" lately and have believed all the praise parts of the pundits are pouring on them so they cannot see how absurd that sounds.
