Someone correct me if I'm wrong but isn't 2560x1600 the highest resolution current GPU's can push on a single display?
No that's incorrect. There are displays that can do 4k [4096 x 2304]

Agreed. If it's true though, it'll blow the pants off any tablet coming to challenge the iPad.

Maybe Apple is preparing universal apps for Macs and iOS devices? Combine the appstores, and make some apps work for Mac and iPad.

I don't think "multi-core" means what you think it does![]()
That is exactly what was said about the first iPhone.
Developers of Android, Mac, PC all have dealt with varying resolutions. We live in a pampered environment with Apple. Changing the resolution won't lead to fragmentation. It'll just require developers to work a little harder and not expect a specific resolution.Yep. No other resolution bump makes sense. If they did anything in-between = fragmentation .

Simply because they've got more than 1080p on a 9.7inch screen. Really???
By first do you mean
This oneor This one?![]()
The first one is so hot. I hope Apple brings this design back...
Holy cow.... I hope that GPU better be multi-core and have higher memory bandwidth (64-bits won't do) than what it has now.
That's a lot of pixels to push now.
Channels?You need a multi-core GPU in order to pump enough information to the chip through the proper channels...
yes, that vague "somewhere".otherwise there will be a bottleneck somewhere.
Which has nothing to do with how many cores the GPU hasMany cases that bottleneck is the GPU memory.
Either having an extra core or expanding the bus is the solution and I don't see any information that the 543 has a higher bus.
i really don't see this happening. 2048x1536 (or whatever it is) would be insane on a 10" screen. Not to mention the horsepower needed to run this thing smoothly and the battery power...and weight......and cost.
You do realize that basically all GPUs are multicore. They have hundreds of little processing cores. That's what separates them from CPUs.
Developers of Android, Mac, PC all have dealt with varying resolutions. We live in a pampered environment with Apple. Changing the resolution won't leag to fragmentation. It'll just require developers to work a little harder and not expect a specific resolution.
Having said that, if that were the case you'd think Apple would start warning developers earlier to update their apps. The fact they've been so quiet may add more fuel to it being this 2048x res.
It'll be 1920 by 1440. Count on it.
Not true. Windows has supported resolution independence since 3.1 I think it was, but I know for sure it existed in Windows 98... 13 years ago. It's just OS X that has never supported it. It was supposed to get resolution independence for Tiger (10.4) but it never happened, and seemingly Apple forgot about it.Monitors don't have high resolution not because of cost, but because operating systems don't really support such high DPIs that well (200+). Until operating systems are truly resolution-independent, you'd see some nice looking text, but rather crappy looking images.
As much as I would love one, it doesn't seem feasible. The cost of the screen alone (if they can even make one at that size with that pixel density) can't be cheap. Combine that with the power requirements to display it idling. I can't imagine how much power it would require for gaming. Especially since this is beyond 1080p which no console even supports and they got a damn power cord! I think Apple will have to bite the bullet and offer something completely different and force developers to adjust their apps accordingly.
If they surprise us all and pull it off. I think its pretty obvious I'll be getting one. So much for the iPhone 4's retina setting the standard for years, this screen would trump it in 6-7 months.
That has more to do with transmission bandwidth, the the GPU.
