New iPad 3 hands on review

Apple iPad 3 hands on review – power and performance

No sign of the A6 core but this A5X which runs quad-core graphics certainly doesn't lag. Using processor-gorging apps like iPhoto, manipulating 19MP photos is all taken in the stride of the new iPad. Sky Gamblers – Air Supremacy, a flight sim game, runs smoothly with graphics that would look at home on a top console. It'll be interesting to see how well this all works on the A5 core of the iPad 2 by comparison.
