The latest variant of iPad is twice as fast as its predecessor, If the latest Geekbench benchmarks are to be believed, it was spotted by Primate Labs’ John Poole who believes that “there’s nothing in the result that indicates it’s a fake.”

Fourth Generation iPad’s 1.4GHz dual core processor, coupled with 1GB of RAM, gets it a solid Geekbench score of 1,757, whereas the third generation iPad’s 1GHz dual-core A5X processor achieves just 791.

Even though it shares the same processor with iPhone 5(at a slightly higher frequency), the new iPad is 10% faster than the iPhone 5 which scores 1,571 on Geekbench.
