Benchmarks on Third-Generation iPad Reveal 1 GHz CPU, 1 GB RAM
The new iPad received a total Geekbench score of 756, essentially identical to that of the iPad 2, although Geekbench only tests processor and memory performance and does not address graphics capabilities that are the focus of improvements in the A5X. The A5X offers the same 1 GHz CPU found in the A5, and bumps the RAM from 512 MB to 1 GB as had been predicted and suggested in leaked screenshots of a debug tool for the device.

Does scrolling lag? No
Is it slow? No
Is it powerful enough to run the display? Yes
Does it run graphic intensive games well? Yes
To all you people who say "I won't buy it until its quad core" ect ect, I feel sorry for you!
Whatever.
great i just spent $500 on the exact same iPad i already have. man apple is starting to suck with these incremental updates!
Its easy to get away with on computers, but on disposable mobile Tech, you really need to beat yourself when releasing something new!
Lordy. I think John Gruber summed this up best:
But if a faster processor, more RAM, a double-the-resolution retina display, a better camera, and maybe even LTE networking make for a “modest” update, then what would it take for the iPad 3 to be deemed an immodest update? A fusion energy source? Teleportation? A camera that sees into the future?
Who cares about the geekbench scores?

This is why it makes more sense to buy every second or third generation, that way you'll appreciate the upgrade more.

I will be keeping my ipad2 till the 4th gen then.
Ya because your iPad really needs a faster processor.... I cant roll my eyes enough. :rolleyes:
But the extra RAM will be nice, considering a lot of websites won't have 2x resolution images for a while...
Nonsense. Websites don't have to be updated because you have more resolution on your screen...great i just spent $500 on the exact same iPad i already have. man apple is starting to suck with these incremental updates!
