"&amp;lt;vc&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;A new report claims that leaked debug photos purportedly from Apple's third-generation iPad show that the device will sport 1GB of RAM, double the amount of its predecessor.&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;\r\n\r\nOn the heels of &amp;lt;a href=\"http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/12/03/06/apples_third_gen_ipad_rumored_with_more_ram_a5x_dual_core_cpu_and_lte.html\"&amp;gt;recent reports&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; that Apple will increase the RAM in its upcoming iPad model, a hacker and iPhone jailbreaker known as \"Chronic\" &amp;lt;a href=\"http://chronicwire.com/the-ipad-3-has-1gb-of-ram\"&amp;gt;offered up&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; a specific number: 1GB.\r\n\r\nLeaked debug photos allegedly of Apple's next iPad that surfaced &amp;lt;a href=\"http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/12/02/01/debug_photos_rumored_to_come_from_quad_core_apple_ipad_3_with_global_lte_.html\"&amp;gt;last month&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; showed a line of code that read \"vm_page_bootstrap: 244276 free pages and 8396 wired pages.\" By multiplying the number of free pages by the size of a page (4,096 bytes), the developer deduced that the device will have 1GB of RAM.\r\n\r\nApple's second-generation iPad, released last March, carried &amp;lt;a href=\"http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/11/03/03/apples_a5_cpu_in_ipad_2_has_512mb_of_ram_same_as_iphone_4_report.html\"&amp;gt;512MB of RAM&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;, the same amount as the iPhone 4.\t\r\n\r\n\"Chronic\" also reported &amp;lt;a href=\"http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/12/03/06/ios_51_gm_with_two_secret_features_passes_apples_testing___report.html\"&amp;gt;earlier on Tuesday&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; that the golden master build of iOS 5.1 has passed Apple's internal quality assurance testing and is set to arrive soon with the addition of two secret features.\r\n\r\n&amp;lt;div align=\"center\"&amp;gt;&amp;lt;img src=\"http://photos.appleinsider.com/ipad3ram-120306.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"844\" alt=\"iPad 3 leaked photo\" border=\"0\" /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;\r\n\r\nSpeculation surrounding the next-generation iPad has surged in the run-up to Apple's media event, scheduled to take place &amp;lt;a href=\"http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/12/02/28/apple_sends_out_invitations_for_march_7_ipad_event_in_san_francisco.html\"&amp;gt;on Wednesday&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;. The so-called \"iPad 3\" will likely boast a 2,048 x 1,536 pixel display, a faster processor and 4G LTE. There has been some disagreement, however, on whether the new processor will be a quad-core A6 chip or an A5X dual-core chip. Recent reports have pointed to the A5X dual-core option as most likely.\r\n\r\nA pair of reports have also claimed that Apple will &amp;lt;a href=\"http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/12/03/05/reports_claim_apples_third_gen_tablet_to_be_named_ipad_hd.html\"&amp;gt;set aside&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; its current numbering system and call the new device the \"iPad HD.\""^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
