Rumor: Quad-core A6 chipset to power future iPad, iPhone Jan 6th 2012, 16:03 Mark Gurman over at 9to5 Mac has discovered some code buried deep within the iOS 5.1 beta which might suggest Apple is prepping a quad-core chip to power future iPhone and iPad devices. The references to quad-core iPhone and iPad chips come by way of a hidden panel that describes cores that are supported by iOS device hardware. The updated core management software includes an option of "/cores/core.3," and this represents a fourth available processing core… Gurman explains that people who work closely with iOS code advised the core count begins at 0, so a dual-core processor would be labeled as core.1 for its second core, and as such, a quad-core processor would carry a core.3 label for its fourth core. Whether we'll see this in the Apple A6 chipset — which is expected to power the iPad 3 and next-gen iPhone — is another story. Although Apple doesn't like to tout specs as a selling point, they need great hardware to drive great software. Source: 9to5Mac More of: Rumors More on: A6, chip, ipad 3, iphone 5, quad-core, rumor
