A Vietnamese website Tinh.te has posted Geekbench test results of new the iPad. The benchmark results revealed that Apple is using the same ARMv7 CPU running at 1.00GHz found on iPad 2, but the new chip has double the RAM at 988MB. However, as feared by many the Geekbench score showed no CPU performance improvement over previous generation iPad.

The Geekbench score of the new iPad came in at 756, nearly similar to iPad 2 scores that ranged better 740 to 765 on Geekbench. Even though CPU benchmarks aren’t seeing much performance improvement on the new iPad, users will definitely see a performance boost because of the quad core GPU in the new A5x chip that is replacing the dual core graphics on the A5 chip in older iPad 2. Also the 1GB RAM will help while running multiple apps.
