cannot agree more with this. How does the ipad not have user profiles!
Why would they even want to do this? IOS devices by their nature are far more personal devices.

This is true but iOS does have support for parallel operation of threads and the like.more cores != more powerful
cores let you split up the computation to run more threads at once but the application and the OS has to be coded to take advantage of it and it depends on the workload
compared to modern ARM chips, xbox 360 and PS3 aren't very powerful. I think the A7 was as fast or faster than the xbox 360. the lack of RAM and storage is holding up the level of depth for game creation
A7 is very impressive. However it isn't just games that are suffering from the lack of RAM on Apples devices. A very large number of apps could use more RAM, far more RAM actually. In fact I'd be fairly happy if the next iPad came with A7 and at least 4GB of RAM. Of course 4 ARM cores would be nice but cores aren't the big inhibitor for more advance iOS apps.
