What's under the hood?

Underneath all that shiny glass and machined aluminum goodness lies the heart of the iPad - the A4 processor. This is the new chip Apple designed just for it's mobile device line-up. The A4 is a 1GHz, system-on-a-chip and is truly an amazing feat of engineering. It combines power with almost unbelievably low power consumption - allowing the iPad to run for 10 hours on a single charge.

I've unearthed some interesting details on this wonder-chip. Follow the jump below for the complete run-down.
