processors inside. we get up to twice as fast on cpu performance. but we ve gone all out on the graphics performance. up to nine times faster graphics. the graphics in this thing are wonderful. same low power as a-4, we don t want to give up that legendary battery life. even though others are starting to ship, i think this will be the first dual core tablet to ship in volume. a-5 is really quite an achievement and is going to give us something up to twice as fast on cpu performance. up to nine times faster on graphics. reporter: the ipad 2 goes on sale march 11. same price as the original starting at $500. it is thinner than the original ipad said to be 33% thinner and also a tad bit lighter.
our chip wizards have come up with this. and it s great. it s dual-core processors. i2 processors inside. we get up to twice as fast on cpu performance. but we ve really gone all out on the graphics performance. up to nine times faster graphics. the graphics in this thing are wonderful. same low power as a h4, we don want to give up any of that legendary battery life. even though others are starting to ship i think this is the first dual-core tablet to ship in volume. a5 is quite an achievement and is going to give us something that is up to twice as fast on cpu performance, up to nine times faster on graphics. at first ipad was no slouch. the ipad 2 going on sale march 11th. the same price, starting at $500. as can you see, it is thinner
performance. but we ve really gone all out on the graphics performance, up to nine times faster graphics. the graphics on this thing are wonderful. same low power as a-4. we don t want to give up any of that legendary battery life. and, even though others are starting the ship, i think this is going to be the first dual-core tablet to ship in volume. so a-5 is a really quite an achievement is going to give us something that s up to twice as fast on cpu performance, up to nine times fastder on graphics, and the first ipad was no slouch. reporter: and steve jobs called 2010 the year of the ipad, noting that 17 million units were sold last year. he called 2011 the year of the copycats. he was joking because there are so many companies now coming out with their own tablets. he thinks they have leaped ahead
painfully thin, in my estimation, but still had that usual stage presence that we always see from steve jobs. he s been out since january 17th so it was good to see him here today. let s talk p about the ipad 2. this was widely expected today. it s faster, lighter. it comes in two colors, black and white, and it s also got two cameras don, a front and rear camera. let s let steve jobs tell you about it. take a look. this ipad 2. what have we learned? what can we improve? well, it is an all-new design. it is not a tweaked design. it s not got marge nam improvements. it s a completely new design. and the first thing is, it s dramatically faster. we have a new chip. we call it a-5. our chip wizards have come up with this, and it s great. it s dual-core processors, two processors inside, and so we get up to twice as fast on cpu
