The Apple iPad 4 came something as a surprise. There are bound to be people that bought an iPad 3 feeling a little annoyed that a new version of the tablet is out soon. They shouldn't worry. if you've got an iPad 3, you've got nothing to worry about and the iPad 4 isn't worth upgrading to. If you've got an older iPad or want to buy a new tablet.
While the iPad 3 used a slightly tweaked version of the Apple A5X processor, with quad-core graphics to handle the tablet's high-resolution screen, the iPad 4 has the brand new Apple A6X processor. This is the same model used in the iPhone 5, although the 1.4GHz model used here also has quad-core graphics. Again, this move makes a lot of sense, as Apple can concentrate on a single processor for its iPad and iPhone lines.
Apple was promising that the A6X processor was double the performance in games and 2D tasks as the old A5X, which is a bold claim. Happily, we're pleased to report that it's completely true. In our tests, we saw the iPad 4 complete the SunSpider JavaScript benchmarks in just 888ms, while the iPad 3 took 1,508ms. Similarly, the BBC News website rendered in 3s on the iPad 4 and 5.6s on the iPad 3.
