SAN FRANCISCO — Apple rented out a much larger venue — the 7,000-person capacity Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in downtown San Francisco — to unveil today (Sept 9) a handful of devices that are much, much smaller. The company’s new iPad and iPhone will run new processors with an updated architecture.
The iPad Pro runs on a 64-bit A9X, Apple’s third generation of custom designed processors. While Apple was expectedly short on details, officials announced that A9X has twice the memory bandwidth of last year’s A8X and is 1.8 times faster than the 8X processor inside the Macbook Air 2 for “desktop-class performance.” The tablet supports 802.11ac MIMO and up to 150 Mbits/second LTE.
