John Poole of Primate Labs posts about some 4th Generation iPad benchmarks that appeared in their Geekbench database on Sunday night.

True to Apple's claims, the 4th Generation iPad benchmarks about twice as fast as the 3rd Generation iPad. The new iPad is based on an A6 processor which was first introduced in the iPhone 5. The iPad's processor is called the A6X, signifying the inclusion of quad-core graphics (vs triple-core) to help drive the device's larger Retina display. The 4th Generation iPad's A6X processor also appears to be clocked at 1.4GHz, slightly faster than the iPhone 5's processor which runs at 1.3GHz. This speed boost is reflected in the benchmarks above. (Readers should note that the original iPhone 5 benchmarks suggested that its A6 ran at 1.0GHz, but later more accurate testing showed it to actually to be ~1.3GHz.)
The amount of RAM in the device remains at 1GB -- the same as the 3rd Generation iPad and iPhone 5.
The 4th Generation iPad is now available for pre-order and will officially launch on Friday, November 2nd alongside the iPad mini.

Damn, this would be a good buy for anyone who wants an iPad then, very powerful.
Any news of the benchmarks for the ipad mini?

Probably around the same as the 4S since it's using the same chip. It might be a little worse on the graphics side though since it has to drive a larger display resolution.

i was thinking similar to the ipad 2 seeing as most of the core components are like the ipad 2's arent they? said something like that in the video on apples site

I dont think I will buy it, but my parents might as its a cheaper slightly smaller ipad 2 by the looks of things. A5 would be fine, i still have a 3GS as it was going cheap and has been a good phone, but seeing as the vibrate motor no longer works if they dont have any in stock i will get a 4 for free so nice to upgrade but im not desperate for it

Not a 4 you get a 4S free I think. If not pay the difference because it is no more than $99 and you get better camera and Siri.

Thats what Im thinking, but then i have to wait even longer (possibly) for a jailbreak, cause i can be sure that no stock apple have will be on 5.1.1 or 5.0.1
