Geek Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 <div class="KonaBody"><p><img src="http://osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/ipad-3-geekbench.jpg" alt="iPad 3 Benchmarks with Geekbench" title="ipad-3-geekbench" width="300" height="437" class="alignright size-full wp-image-28338" /> The iPad 3 has been benchmarked to reveal <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2012/03/07/new-ipad-3-features-specs-prices/">tech specs</a> of 1GB of RAM and an A5X 1GHz processor. The RAM is double that offered by its predecessor, and the CPU appears the same as that found in iPad 2′s A5 chip, suggesting the only major changes to the processor are in graphics capabilities. </p> <p>Benchmarks were ran by <a href="http://www.tinhte.vn/threads/1139326/">Tinhte.vn</a>, who managed to get their hands on a new third gen iPad a bit early and used the popular benchmarking app GeekBench. The new iPads score of 756 is roughly the same of an iPad 2, though Geekbench does not seem to adequately test the graphics processor on either chip, thus performance of graphics intensive activities like gaming and photo or video manipulation are yet to be determined.</p> <p>The A5X processor is a dual-core CPU that includes quad-core graphics capabilities. The boosted graphics and increase in RAM are necessary to work with the high resolution Retina display included on the new iPad.</p> <p>The third generation iPad is available in stores this Friday, March 16.</p> </div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/IRidDzZCHaTIm9xp1d9vxFTIlcE/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/IRidDzZCHaTIm9xp1d9vxFTIlcE/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/IRidDzZCHaTIm9xp1d9vxFTIlcE/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/IRidDzZCHaTIm9xp1d9vxFTIlcE/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=ptDfeHdngIU:hBPbesVNX9g:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=ptDfeHdngIU:hBPbesVNX9g:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=ptDfeHdngIU:hBPbesVNX9g:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=ptDfeHdngIU:hBPbesVNX9g:D7DqB2pKExk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=ptDfeHdngIU:hBPbesVNX9g:D7DqB2pKExk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=ptDfeHdngIU:hBPbesVNX9g:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=ptDfeHdngIU:hBPbesVNX9g:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/osxdaily/~4/ptDfeHdngIU" height="1" width="1"/> View the full article
