It is not clear, Apple states test on cellular lines but does not specifically say 3G or 4G

I did overlook any additional power requirements needed by the four graphics cores in the A5X. Thanks!

The iPad 3 gets the SAME battery life as the iPad 2 on WiFi. That means the extra battery is going to power the Retina Display, RAM, and the extra GPU cores in the A5X. The iPad 3 loses an hour when on LTE.
