iOS 5.1 beta sheds light on quad-core chip possibility

It goes without saying that the world of technology is an evolutionary one, no two ways about it. Having said that, I am quite sure that many of us do hope to see Cupertino roll out a new quad-core processor with the same naming convention as the A5 sometime down the road, and that day might arrive sooner than you think. After all, references to the devices in Apple’s most recent iOS 5.1 beta release do shed more light on the situation, where some claim that this software will offer quad-core processing as well. 9to5Mac claims that “hidden deep inside” the iOS 5.1 beta lies updated “processing-core management software” that is more than ready to wrap its arms around quad-core iOS devices.

Those who are familiar with iOS’ inner workings say that iOS 5.1 beta 2 will come with core.3, which is a quad-core chip from Apple that has yet to be released to the masses. When developers unleash the full power of the quad-core processor in iOS devices, expect the kind of apps and software that you will “enjoy” to blow your mind away – when done right, of course.
