iFixit has disassembled the iPad and initial benchmarks show that Xoom is far behind in terms of performance. A5 processor Apple is very interesting. It costs $ 10 more expensive to manufacture than a similar model Tegra 2, according to a study TechInsights UBM. It is wider than the A4 has a new 512 MB memory (see "iPad 2: 512 MB of RAM and CPU S5L8940).
Placing on the market for the first time, the LPDDR2 Samsung is etched into 46 nm. However, researchers have shown that some A5 used a similar memory from Elpida. This confirms the willingness on the part of Apple to not depend on only one manufacturer. Also displays its new slate are produced by three different foundries.
Despite a CPU more expensive the total price of all components is lower on the iPad 2 that Xoom, which costs $ 20 more was made when comparing the versions Wi-Fi 32 GB processor also seems to have a variable operating frequency. If Apple talks about 1 GHz, some tests show that the chip can go down to 890 MHz, presumably to save battery.
This also explains why Apple has changed the module power management chip that now comes from Dialog Semiconductor. We also learn that despite rumors of a partnership with TSMC (cf. "The Apple A5 CPU manufactured by TSMC"), methods of manufacturing the processor and the inscriptions on the die A5 confirm that many scanners out 45 nm from Samsung.
Nevertheless, as his memoirs and on-screen, Apple could start making use of several smelters. Parenthetically, we also acknowledge that the 25 Wh battery has a capacity slightly greater than the old model. The NAND iPad apart from Toshiba and Apple continues to use Broadcom chips for wireless modules.
He seems to have completely abandoned Infineon since its acquisition by Intel (see "Intel acquires Infineon Wireless Solutions"). Finally, the gyroscope would come from plants STMicroelectronics, as the former iPad or the latest iPhone or iPod touch. The graphics processor is a dual core SGX543MP2 Imagination.
Apple says it is nine times more powerful than the old model. Our colleagues from AnandTech have decided to launch a series of benchmarks that show that the iPad 2 is much more powerful than the iPad or Xoom Motorola as you can see here. Under 2.0 GLBenchmark Egypt is the test that comes closest to a game, even if the comparison is far from perfect, the iPad gets 8.1 fps, 11.8 fps cons for Xoom and 44 frames per second for iPad 2.
We also note that the activation of antialiasing does not change the performance of the new slate, unlike the other two. It is important to put these results in context. First, some benchmarks show smaller differences, but with the iPad 2 still far ahead. Finally, Apple likes to talk about magic, but does not work miracles.
In addition to the architecture of the chip, the operating system plays an important role in achieving this performance. It is indisputable that the performance of the new tablet to apple today are unprecedented, as shown in the update for Infinity Blade iPad 2 which adds a level of detail far greater than what is has seen so far.
Apple also shows the importance of an operating system optimized. It remains only to Google and its partners to do likewise.
