Must-Knows of the new iPad: Retina Display, Faster, Thicker
The iPad 3, the iPad HD...everyone was expecting Apple to reveal one of them but after Apple's latest event, what was revealed was simply named the new iPad. Yep, it's just called the...new iPad. Note how the "new" isn't even officially capitalised? So technically, it should just be called the iPad but since its fresh from Cook's oven, we call it new. (:
Retina Display
Apple is all about displays and pixel count, and when it unveiled its Retina Display for the iPhone, everyone wanted it for the iPad. Hence, the new iPad now boasts a 9.7-inch Retina Display featuring a resolution of 2048 x 1536-pixel; or in simpler terms, a higher resolution than a standard 1080p HDTV. This, is said to have 4 times as many pixels and have a 44% greater image saturation than the iPad 2.
Greater graphics
What good is the display if the graphics processor lacks behind? The new iPad will use a new A5X quad-core graphics processor which is said to be four times much faster than Nvidia's Tegra 3. One thing for sure is that the chip will be essential for the Retina Display to work in full fledged - as Apple also added that "the Retina Display on the new iPad wouldn't be possible without the new and powerful A5X chip."
