FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda [More from Mashable: Analyst: Apple Will Sell 1 Million iPads on Launch Day]
A Vietnamese site called Tinhte.vn has managed to get the new iPad ahead of schedule, treating us with a video of the device’s unboxing and revealing some previously unknown specifications.
The new iPad — the third-generation device lacks a new name or additional numbers, causing some consternation among us journalists, so we refer to it as “the new iPad” — apparently has 1 GB of RAM memory (up from 512 MB in iPad 2).

Furthermore, its A5X processor ticks at 1 GHz, exactly the same clock speed as the A5 CPU in the iPad 2.
Interestingly enough, the fact that its graphics chip now has four cores wasn’t enough for a big increase in speed, at least according to popular testing software GeekBench, in which the new iPad scored 756. For comparison, the iPad 2 had a GeekBench score of 721, and the original iPad scored 442. We’re guessing that this particular benchmark doesn’t fully tap into the new iPad’s quad-core graphics chip.
The unboxing video (above) is in Vietnamese, but it is quite detailed and will surely be interesting to iPad aficionados, regardless of the possible language barrier.
