New features of the Apple iPad 5: Brand new Retina Display with 2048-by-1536 resolution at 264 pixels per inch. The device is powered by a dual-core A5X chip, a 5-megapixel iSight camera with 1080p video capture, a FaceTime camera for video chat, optional LTE wireless broadband, and speech-to-text dictation. Apple’s new iPad may have 1GB RAM. The new iPad has a brand new dual-core chip called the A5X able to produce what Apple describes as “quad-core graphics.” But analysts are wondering what the A5X means for the next iPhone. There is some talk that the next iPhone will not get the A5X, but will instead sport a new quad-core chip.
