During the Keynote that we offered you on June 5 (WWDC 2017) we could see how the Cupertino company offered us a renewal of the iPad Pro and MacBook Pro range, ensuring in both a few performance improvements that in the case of the MacBook Pro has come to represent an increase of up to 20%. However, the most impressive thing that left us was without a doubt the iPad Pro range and its new possibilities.
Is the iPad Pro really positing itself as a serious laptop alternative? Everything points to yes, more when we have information that iPad Pro is capable of performing certain tasks even more efficiently than a MacBook Pro.
However, we already know that when it comes to Apple, they always hide according to what little things that we do not know but are there. Apple is trying hard and hard the spectacular performance iPad Pro to get people to start considering replacing their laptop with one of these gadgets, but… to what extent is this so? So much so that the team of BareFeats it has run some performance tests and has performed even better than the MacBook Pro for what types of tasks.
For everyday tasks the iPad Pro is designed for, we've found even better performance than the 13-inch MacBook Pro (2017). Let's see more simply where it stands out:
- Processor - Mononucleus
- MacBook Pro 13 (2017) - 4650
- iPad Pro 12,9 (2017) - 3920
- iPad Pro 10,5 (2017) - 3951
- Processor - Multicore
- MacBook Pro 13-10261
- iPad Pro 12,9 - 9220
- iPad Pro 10,5 - 9332
- GPU - Metal T-Rex
- MacBook Pro 13-199
- iPad Pro 12,9 - 219
- iPad Pro 10,5 - 215
- GPU - Metal Full Review
- MacBook Pro 13-26353
- iPad Pro 12,9 - 27597
- iPad Pro 10,4 - 27814
It is not necessary to know many more details to realize that in a GPU environment, it is clear that the lower resolution of the iPad Pro (the MacBook Pro 13 ″ uses a Retina screen at 2K resolution) allow them to obtain better performance in general GPU. Nevertheless, This is not to say that the iPad Pro works more and better than the MacBook Prosimply that it manages the hardware power better.
