Is Apple's In-House A4 Chip Truly Revolutionary As It Is Made Out To Be?
The iPad is just a few weeks away from launch and one of the most notable features about Apple's tablet device is the speed. A4, Apple's in-house "system on chip" that runs the iPad has been touted to be a much superior CPU compared to Samsung's 833 MHz chip that...

im a little worried about it being revolutionary or not, because isnt there a rumor that its supposed to be used in the new iPhone and if thats the case the iPhone has all those things the iPad doesnt so that chip wont be fast enough

Didn't Samsung reportedly upscale production of a 1Gig CPu by 33% last month??
If they did, they must be expecting something.Technology such as 'On Chip' faces a tough test, especially in the hands of the unknown (Us, the end users) as we tend to go against Apples protocols. We Jailbreak, we add apps such as Backgrounder, we run our devices harder than Stock devices that kill a process on exit.
If the A4 faces a Jailbroken iPhone/iPad running Background Apps, it's bound to create issues along the way.
Don't panic too much though, how many people utilize the full whack speed? And would you really notice a drop in cycles?
On a side note, aren't Scandisk releasing 64Gb SDcards?
Wonder if that technology appears on the next iPhone.
Oh, and I hope they sort a better battery to manage the extra drainage a faster CPu will need. No point in upping spec & cutting useage time.
