Chipworks details the monstrous size of the new A5X chip; download a wallpaper of it! ;-)

We have already shown some details of the disassembly of the new iPad by Chipworks, but it has now focused exclusively on the new A5X processor that remains dual-core, like the A5, but now offers a graphics chipset quad-core.

As well as the battery of the new iPad, its processor is also much more advantageous than previously believed if you want, 310% bigger than the A4 chip used in the iPhone 4 and the first generation iPad.

With an area of ​​165mm, the square that now combines these components does not bring any big surprises and has increased precisely to allow for so much graphic power. Apple continues to manufacture it with a 45 nanometer process, offering great performance and energy efficiency but losing somewhat in physical size.

For those who liked the image, here is a clean version of it (JPG) and already with resolution to be used as wallpaper on the Retina screen of the new iPad. Have fun!
