If the iPad 2 has not yet been dismantled, the first tests fall and you learn two things about the technical characteristics: the machine has 512 MB of RAM and processor is different. To recap, the amount of memory depends on the devices iOS. The iPhone, EDGE and iPhone iPod touch 1G and 2G are content with 128 MB of RAM, the iPad, the iPhone 3G and iPod Touch 3G and 4G have 256 MB of RAM and 4 is equipped with the iPhone 512 MB of RAM.

This greater amount of memory to better manage change applications and the overall fluidity of the machine is better, especially when using multiple applications simultaneously and as one moves from one to another. A5 processor, meanwhile, has a code name: S5L8940. The A4 has the Apple name and the iPhone S5L8930 5, seen in iOS 4.3, Apple will use a well A5.

Recall that if the A4 was engraved by Samsung, the A5 is engraved by TSMC. The type of core used is not known, but it is a priori Cortex A9, an interesting development of the Cortex A8 is already used by Apple.
