Quad-core processor support has been uncovered in the iOS 5.1 beta code. This means we could expect quad-core iPhones and iPads in the near future. Surprising? Not really, quad-core Android smartphone have been making the rounds so that Apple is set to make the jump is almost expected.
To understand exactly what is going on with the above code here is an except from 9to5mac:
Extremely reliable and knowledgeable people familiar with iOS?s inner workings explained to me that core references begin at ?0.? For example: A single core device would be limited to ?/cores/core.0,? and a dual-core device would come in at ?/cores/core.1.? A ?core.2? (which is not referenced in iOS code) would be a triple-core processor according to this labeling method. iOS 5.1 beta 2 now includes core.3, a seemingly quad-core chip from Apple. Below, you can view a comparison between the pre-iOS 5.1 beta iOS core management software and the iOS 5.1 beta version. The dual-core A5 chip, on the bottom, has the ?core.1,? and the quad-core chip, on top, supporting iOS 5.1 beta is marked with the ?core.3.?
This isn?t the first time that iPhone 5 references have been found in the iOS 5.1 beta code. It might turn out Apple is indeed gearing the next iPhone with a quad-core A6 chip.
What do you think? If it turned out not to be true and Apple released a dual core phone, would you be disappointed?
