Earlier we saw a video of the new iPad 3 being unboxed, and now the guys from Tinhte.vn have benchmarked the new iPad 3. The benchmarks confirm that it will come with 1GB of RAM, as we had previously heard. This is a significant upgrade from the iPad 2, which only had 512MB of RAM, allowing for better multitasking and overall performance.
The processor speed on the A5X processor in the iPad 3 is still 1GHz, just like the A5 chip in the iPad 2. However, the A5X processor comes with 4 graphics cores as opposed to two on the iPad 2. This enhancement in graphics capability is particularly beneficial for gaming and graphic-intensive applications, providing a smoother and more immersive experience.
You can see all the benchmarks on the new iPad 3 over at Tinhte.cn (Vietnamese), and also don’t forget to check out our iPad 3 Vs iPad 2 article which shows the different specifications between the two tablets.
Enhanced Display and Camera
One of the standout features of the iPad 3 is its Retina display, which boasts a resolution of 2048 x 1536 pixels. This is a significant improvement over the iPad 2’s 1024 x 768 resolution. The higher resolution means that text appears sharper, images are more detailed, and videos look more vibrant. This makes the iPad 3 an excellent choice for reading, watching movies, and editing photos.
The camera on the iPad 3 has also seen an upgrade. It features a 5-megapixel iSight camera, compared to the iPad 2’s 0.7-megapixel camera. This allows for much clearer and higher-quality photos and videos. The iPad 3 also supports 1080p HD video recording, making it a versatile tool for both casual and professional use.
Battery Life and Connectivity
Despite the enhanced display and improved graphics performance, the iPad 3 maintains a similar battery life to the iPad 2. Apple claims that the iPad 3 can last up to 10 hours on a single charge, which is impressive given the increased power requirements of the new hardware. This makes it a reliable device for long trips, workdays, or extended use without needing to recharge frequently.
In terms of connectivity, the iPad 3 offers 4G LTE support, which was not available on the iPad 2. This means faster internet speeds when using cellular data, making it easier to stream videos, download large files, and browse the web on the go. The iPad 3 also supports Bluetooth 4.0, which provides improved energy efficiency and faster data transfer rates compared to the iPad 2’s Bluetooth 2.1.
