As expected, Apple refreshed its iPad line-up yesterday with the iPad Air and iPad Mini with Retina Display. Both utilise the A7 processor featuring PowerVR Rogue :

So Apple are now using 3 devices with Rogue graphics.
This has to be the best graph of the night !
That original iPad used SGX535 (A4 chip) of course, so we've come a long way.
I was hoping for some Apple TV news but perhaps too early for that.
In other news, Imagination announced the first MIPS Warrior cores P5600 (no lead partners announced though):

From discussions at the AGM and other research, the plan for MIPS seems to be to catch a 'big fish' then hopefully the other semi players will follow suit. For my money that biggie will be Mediatek - given the recent license announcement with ARM that might sound odd, but watch this space.....
