[読んだ] What exact processor is inside the new iPod touch? TUAW digs deeper

The newly introduced third-generation iPod touch contains a S5L8922X series processor, which is a slight numerical increment over the processor in the iPhone 3GS. Also, as revealed in the teardown by iFixit, the model number etched on the processor in the new iPod touch, 339S0075 ARM, also shows a slight numerical increment of the 3GS processor, which is 339S0073 ARM.

Meanwhile, the new iPod touch also shows a increase in the model identifier to iPod3,1, up from iPod2,1 on the second-generation iPod touch. An increase in the first digit of the model identifier usually indicates a major architectural change in the device. For example, the model identifier of the iPhone 3G is iPhone1,2, up from iPhone1,1, as both devices use the same S5L8900X processor.

These signs mostly likely point to some sort of small revision in the processor in the new iPod touch over the iPhone 3GS, however, it's still unclear what improvements this processor offers, if any.
