Photos show iPad 3’s quad-core ‘A6’ processor, Wi-Fi and global LTE options

“A source claiming to be in possession of an iPad 3 prototype provided BGR with images containing details about Apple’s highly anticipated third-generation tablet,” Jonathan S. Geller reports for BGR.

“From the data in the photos, which contain the output from an iPad 3 using a development and debug tool called iBoot, we can infer plenty of information about the upcoming iPad 3,” Geller reports. “The model numbers are J1 and J2 (iPad3,1 and iPad3,2), and while DigiTimes reported this a few weeks ago, these two models are not different devices, just a single iPad available in two versions — one with Wi-Fi only and one with Wi-Fi and embedded GSM/CDMA/LTE for all carriers. Also included in the photos is, for the first time, confirmation of which processor Apple will be using in the iPad 3: an A6 processor with model number S5L8945X.”

Geller reports, “The new processor will also apparently be a quad-core model, making the upcoming iPad 3 the fastest iOS device ever.”
