A5: All Apple, Part Mystery

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the chips-and-dips dept.

PabloSandoval48 submitted a fairly lengthy story running on the EE Times about the A5 processor that powers the iPad 2. The story talks a bit about the A4 and A5, the IP issues surrounding the chip, and more. The real question now is what comes next.

    "The A[3+n] processor will be included in Apple iPad [n], which will be released in [2009+n]."

    I just saved you the trouble of thinking

    I've been a /. reader for over 8 years now and have noticed the change in the type of story discussed here. I keep seeing people saying things like "Why are we talking about FB - this is suppsed to be a techie site and we should discuss techie things". I tend to find myself agreeing with them most of the time.
    Then a story like this comes along - which should be "manna from heaven" for Nerds and Geeks and I try to read TFA - only to find myself yawning and giving up coz it's dry, tedious and badly written.
    I can't even win in an argument with myself anymore - must be a sign that I'm getting old.
