order and Nvidia and other chip manufacturers competitive quad-core processor, I believe Apple will fire sometime afterward year, next-generation processor, tentatively called A6, but this may be because the chip size is too large, also hot to use the iPhone. So, Apple may launch iPhone in 2012 to use a another chip, maybe a scaled-down version of the A5 chip.

The emulating is text of the article:
However, to meet the iPad, iPhone, iPod touch and even the future needs of low-cost low-end edition of iPhone, Apple might think outsourcing to low-end processor, Nvidia and other companies, yet it has to bear the hazard of dripping confidential. (Xiaoming)
tin assist Apple amend the future of amounts namely the cost convenience of hunk product, iOS equipment this year, Apple (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch) before sales tin be additional apt 90 million units based ashore 146 million elements, Accordingly 2000-3000 Apple could share the cost of chip design million, amortization of 20 cents per device. In order apt chance a strong antagonist against Samsung, Apple will submit some of TSMC chip product.

picture test software GLBenchmark tests show, based on a quite essential game in terms of 3D performance, Apple graphics processor perimeter place is greater than the Tegra two in the graphics circuitry, because the A5 processor graphics processor unit area of 31 square millimeters, and Tegra 2 processors that plausible unit numbers in the all surface area of considerable.
First of all, Apple wants to use a larger size of the processor chip namely is greater than the advertisement vendors such for Nvidia chips, Apple's goal is to use the same The cost to purchase more mighty processor representation, they will not purchase Nvidia and additional chip contractors to cater the high-priced processor.
Lead: Technology Magazine senior redactor at Microprocessor Report Linlei Ge Wen Snipes (Linley Gwennap) analysis of treatises promulgated on Saturday that Apple A5 processor at increasing the cost advantage of production capability, Apple's chip roadmap as the future is more intricate.
