The new iPod touch with an A8 processor and upgraded 8-megapixel rear camera just launched this morning, but TechCrunch 's Matthew Panzarino already has one in hand and has run some benchmarks on the device. According to early testing, the A8 processor in the new iPod touch appears to be running at 1.10GHz per core, which is slower than the 1.39GHz per core the iPhone 6 runs at , presumably to manage battery life.
