Last week we saw what might be the iPad 3′s high-res display. Now, MacRumors is suggesting that the logic board of the new iPad is out in the wild.
This photo, originally posted at Chinese site WeiPhone, shows what is claimed to be the iPad 3′s logic board, including an “A5X” system-on-a-chip. We’re expecting a new processor in the next iteration of the iPad—though we thought an A6 would be the next logical step. If this photograph is real, the A5X model name may suggest that this piece of silicon is a bridging step.
According to MacRumors, the date code on the chip—”1146″—indicates that it was “manufactured in the 46th week of 2011, which would have corresponded to November 14-20″. Elsewhere on the board are a pair of 16 GB flash memory chips from Hynix and a rectangular Apple-branded chip similar to the power management chips found in previous iPads.
As ever, it’s difficult to say whether we can definitely expect the A5X chip to appear in the new iPad. One thing is certain: there isn’t long to wait in order to find out. [Mac Rumors]

It makes sense for Apple to release another dual core tablet as the iPad 2 is fast enough and Quad Core will not be needed for another year or two yet. Owners I know have never complained about the speed of the iPad 2, they always complain about the cameras, screen, battery life, poor speaker and the rounded edge which makes it hard to plug in the charger.
I personally want Intel powered tablets running full Windows 8 but that wont happen any time soon. So for me tablets are useless.
if it’s got a new screen with twice the resolution it will need a faster processor to support the high resolution.
the A5X may suggest it’s gonna be an ipad 2S rather than ipad 3
“One thing is certain: there isn’t long to wait in order to find out.”
Er… No. That date is just a rumour too.
That’s pretty much the case for ANY Apple release… everything is a rumour till Apple come out and announce it… They could teach most governments a thing or two about secrecy
Yes CC I know that, Mr Condliffe however seems to believe every iPad rumour he hears.
I’ll only believe it when it’s uttered from either Tim, Sir Johhny’s, Bob, Phill or Tom’s gob !
Oh forgot to add.. personally I think this is just another prototype… but who knows….
this one’s for Darrell:
