Seems like dual-core era in smartphone are the technology of the past by the availability of quad-core processors.This quad-core technology will elevate the processing power to new heights.Developers had found out codes that support quad-core ARM CPU's in Apple's Xcode tool which means the future versions of iPhone and iPad will support Quad-Core processor.
Apple recently added support for Marvell's quad-core ARM-based Armada XP processor.Well Apple will actually use this chip or not is not yet finalised.The A5 processor found in the iPad 2 is dual-core, and the same is rumoured to be coming in the iPhone 5.Apple's next CPU will be named as A6 which will use 3D stacking technology.This quad-core chip can do very exciting things in iPad 3 and iphone6.
NVIDIA has announced its plans to bring its quad-core chips to tablets this year so Apple wants to keep pace with Android tables and should at least consider a quad-core chip, amongst other things .A developer who works on low-level ARM assembly coding for security products was the first to see that support had been added for Armada’s Cortex A9-compatible processors in the latest version of Xcode. The source code for a part of Clang that interprets what CPU type is being targeted for optimization includes a definition for an architecture type of “armv7k” and CPU type “pj4b”. PJ4B is a specially optimized CPU design used in Marvell’s quad-core Armada XP embedded processors
