Ipad pro is almost as fast as a 6 core macbook pro

During the iPad Pro announcement, Apple showed the performance of its A12X Bionic chipset, which is manufactured using TSMC's 7nm FinFET architecture. The SoC is the first from the company to feature an 8-core processor.

The first tests in Geekbench show the great performance of the new iPad Pro

Apple commented that the A12X processor was a significant performance advance over the A12 Bionic. Now, the latest series of iPad Pro performance tests are revealing the chip is truly powerful, equating the power of the iPad Pro with a 2018 15-inch MacBook Pro. The latest iteration of the company's 15-inch notebooks includes a CPU. 6-core, a Core i9-8950HK to be exact.

The results:

In Geekbench, iPad Pro scores have been leaked, showing that, in a single core, the tablet is capable of achieving scores of more than 5, 000 points, while reaching almost 18, 000 points in multi-core results. Although it is slower than the MacBook Pro with the 15-inch Core i9, the score difference has been significantly reduced. We are talking about a difference of only 400 points in mononucleo performance.

Another thing that shows in the test image is that the tablet has 6 GB of RAM. Chances are, we'll have to pick the 1TB storage model from Apple's latest line of tablets, either 11 or 12.9 inches. None of these devices has a start button, since it was necessary to remove it to slim the bezels, as well as to include the Face ID.
