I am going to buy an iPad this week. I have one question;
Does the quad core graphic capability significantly improve gaming/performance/photo & video editing?

I am wondering how much of the graphics' power goes to the retina display, and weather there is any noticeable change in performance.

Gaming wise I think we'll have to wait for a few developers to truly utilise it's power and display.

I don't notice any difference.

That depends entirely on how well the App is written. Throwing more cores at a badly written App won't do anything for it. Photo and Video editing usually use the CPU for rendering.

Sure does. I played sims free play on iPad 1. It was stuttering thru, laggy. On iPad 3 not even a hiccup. Very smooth.
