$399 iPad 2 With 32-nm A5 Chip Comes With Significantly Improved Battery Life

The teardown of the $399 iPad 2 had revealed that it is powered by a tweaked A5 (SoC) chip, which is manufactured using 32-nm process instead of the older A5 chip's 45-nm process.

The 32-nm chip technology make chips more efficient, which in turn is supposed to improve battery life.

Anand Shimpi at AnandTech managed to get his hands on the $399 iPad 2 and has carried out a series of battery tests. He reports that the 32nm A5 (SoC) chip indeed offers significant improvement in battery life.

so then should I assume that all ipad/iphone/ipt products prior to this new ipad 2,4 were crafted using the 45nm process? that's old tech!I want to see an ipad (3rd gen,2) and iphone 5 build on a quad core a6 with 22nm process. that would truly kick ass
