The A6 should bring more performance to Apple
devices while preserving battery life. Many of the
improvements will come from TSMC’s 28-nanometer
manufacturing process, Gwennap said. The process
will shrink the circuitry compared to the A5, which
is manufactured on a 40-nanometer process, making
the A6 smaller and faster.
Apple’s next iPad will be faster and more power-
efficient thanks to its new, quad-core A6 processor,
but the new tablet may not be ready to ship until
next June, an industry analyst said Monday.
The A6 will succeed the dual-core A5 processor used
in Apple’s iPad 2, said Linley Gwennap, founder and
principal analyst at The Linley Group. The A6 will
