The current chip on the iPod Touch is the A5, the best chip that Apple had in 2012. That chip was in the iPhone 4s which was released the same year. Since then, Apple has released several newer chips including the A6 which was created for the iPhone 5 and is still used on its iPhone 5c models.

Apple Insider said the latest rumor points towards Apple using the A6 chip or opting to go with the newer 64-bit A7 chip. The source said the upcoming iPod Touch model would have a 4-inch screen which is also present in the current model.
