Code file shows some quad-core Apple products

Under layers of source code, the fate of Apple products has been discovered. Right now the fastest processor in an iOS device is Apple 1 GHz dual-core A5 chip, which is found in the iPad 2. The company is expected to unveil the iPhone 5 soon on October 4th with that same processor.

Ars Technica got the scoop from a developer pointing out that what initially looks like random letters and numbers in Xcode actually hints at support for quad-core devices:

"A developer who works on low-level ARM assembly coding for security products was the first to alert Ars that support had been added for Armada's Cortex A9-compatible processors in the latest version of Xcode (a claim that we later confirmed first-hand). The source code for a part of Clang that interprets what CPU type is being targeted for optimization includes a definition for an architecture type of "armv7k" and CPU type pj4b."
