up to 56% more powerful

The new iPad Pro with M1 chip has yet to reach the homes of early adopters, but on websites like Geekbench there are already those who have managed to release the first performance tests From the device. The average results are surprising with up to 56% more performance compared to the previous generation with A12Z chip.

A more powerful tablet than 16-inch MacBook Pros with Intel Core i9

We can summarize the concrete numbers and compare them in a simple table:

Basically, we can say that Apple did its job well, because the iPad Pro M1 is equivalent to Macs with this same chip in terms of performance. The increase is evident compared to the iPad Pro with the A12Z chip, and Even quietly outperforms 16-inch MacBook Pros with an Intel Core i9 chip.

We must also take into account all the nuances involved in carrying out this type of performance test on Apple Silicon chips. The real performance of the M1 will be noticed in real life, not in a series of tests which although already optimized are originally intended for other types of chips. If for example We distinguish the graphics tests of the Metal engine, the iPad Pro M1 improves by almost 71% the power of last year’s iPad Pro.

Something tells me that we won’t see the real possibilities of these iPad Pro until WWDC21, a conference in which we will see what the iPadOS 15 has in store for us. In the meantime, the first analyzes will focus on 5G connectivity and the quality of the 12.9-inch model’s mini-LED screen.
