Phil Schiller made sure to mention the A5X processor found in the new iPad performed 4x better than NVIDIA’s Tegra 3 chip. With a quad-core GPU, the new chip was also said to boast twice the graphics output compared with the iPad 2.

Even though the specs of the new iPad had been documented by Apple upon the launch on March 7th, it’s almost impossible to gauge the true performance of the new hardware until it’s unboxed, charged-up, and pitched against other, similar products on the market.
