> CPU: Enhanced Cyclone (i.e. "Cyclone gen 2") @ 1.4GHz, dual core

Introduced yesterday:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_A9
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_A9X

Details are sparse so far. The core has been enhanced over Typhoon (aka "Cyclone gen 2") no doubt. Naming of the new core and performance parameters will trickle through eventually.


Edit: A9 is dual-core at 1.85 GHz clock rate.
Edit2: The new core is named Twister.
