Is anyone else wondering about speed/performance issues when scaling up iPad graphics like this? Apple must have a hot new (A6?) chip up its sleeve that will enable performance on par with what you get from an iPad 2 now while also smoothly handling the larger images necessary for an iPad retina display. If not, what's the point outside of HD movies? Who cares about retina display if graphically intensive apps all chug? Or if devs have to use non high res images in order to preserve performance... Will be interesting to see how it shakes out.
Here's hoping for an awesome chip that will make all of the graphics production rework worth it..
Well static images need hi res more than dynamic video, so animations could run at lower resolution and get blurred up with no user experience degradation.
