The iPad 2 Packs A Dual-Core A5 CPU and 9X Graphic Performance

Noting that Apple has had an exceptional first year, Steve Jobs says that in 2011, Apple wants to build off the iPad’s success. Today they’re announcing the iPad 2.

So what’s new? Apple says, first of all, an all-new design. Not tweaked, brand spanking new and redesigned from the ground up.

First of all, as rumored, it’s faster. The iPad 2 will boast a dual-core A5 CPU running at 1.2GHZ.

Second, Apple has gone all out on the graphics, and are now offering up to 9x faster graphics performance.

At the same time, power efficiency remains the same, so you’ll get the same battery life.

All in all? Apple expects the iPad 2 to be the first dual core tablet to ship in volume.
