We’ve been hearing about blazing dual-core processors like Nvidia’s Tegra 2 on Android phones, so it’s to be expected that Apple would follow suit for its next-generation phone and tablet. Engadget says that Apple’s new dual core processor, which will likely be called the A5. AppleInsider is reporting that it will also sport dual graphics processing cores.
Apple will change things up when it comes to network chipsets in the iPhone 5 and iPad 2 as well. According to Engadget, the iPad 2 will sport a Qualcomm chipset that can run on both GSM and CDMA networks, which would make it compatible on both AT&T and Verizon. The iPhone 5, on the other hand, will feature a Qualcomm chipset for GSM, CDMA, and UMTS networks, making it compatible with every mobile carrier at the moment. There’s no LTE 4G on the horizon yet for the devices, which means we likely won’t see it on Apple devices until 2012.
