Take one Apple iPad processor, some gentle abrasive action and look what you can see. The folks over at iFixit partnered with Chipworks to get a closer look inside the iPad to see what makes it tick. Turns out the iPad is basically a huge version of the iPhone 2G. The Apple A4 processor is in a POP package, this stands for package-on-package. The first package is for the microprocessor and one for the DRAM memory.
