They were talking with Miles Jacobson, the head man who heads up the Football Manager team. He explained “We have very good relationships with a lot of chipset and hardware manufacturers who’ve given us their roadmaps, and they’re drool-worthy.” He also predicts that the iPad 3 will come equipped with a quad core A6 processor with beefed up graphics to rival the Nvidia 8700 series.
If this prediction is accurate then it could mean high end games could come to the next series of tablets, a mouth watering prospect for the consumer that could spell the end of laptops and notebooks altogether.
Other recent rumours surrounding the iPad 3 include an improved screen, carbon fibre body, upgraded cameras and an all new iOS complete with music locker and cloud based storage. If today’s revelations are accurate we hope Apple plans to implement the battery technology outlined in a patent filed late last year, otherwise the 10 hour battery life enjoyed on both the iPad and iPad 2 is likely to be radically reduced.
Despite some big names suggesting the iPad 3 will land this side of Christmas it’s still unlikely Apple will do this, especially if the iPhone 5 rolls out in September. It would surely be too many products in such a short space of time.
Do you think the iPad 3 needs a quad core processor?
