I was thinking maybe. An A6 chip would be virtually identical to what's in the Vita, however, Apple has a tendancy to use its tech as long as possible and teh A5X has a solid upgrade on the GPU to the A5.
Basically, I'd put it at a 50/50 chance of being A5X (~vita's gpu) or new A6 (~Vita's cpu/gpu). But, I had not seen that rumor yet... so maybe its already there.
of course, Apple using an A6 would fit my previous statements that phones and tablets before this year is over would at least match Vita's capabilities. I know that will still happen in Androidland.
