The new iPad Pro is just 1% faster than the 2018 model

At podcast of Actualidad iPhone, we had commented on several occasions, the ideal would have been for Apple to launch the new iPad Pro in the fall of this year, in order to implement the new A14 chip in its X version, the variant that Apple has always used in the Pro range.

However, Apple has done its thing again and this week launched the new generation of iPad Pro, an iPad Pro that is managed by A12Z processor, a new processor that adds a new graphics processor, making a total of 8, for the 7 included in the A12X.

Knowing this information, we could imagine that the performance difference would be minimal. Apple has never been known for boasting about the speed of its processors. It just makes comparisons like "The iPad Pro is so fast that it beats most laptops available today." Most users just want the applications to open and execute the processes in a fast way and not what is the speed of the processor.

The first performance tests can be found in AnTuTu and they show us how the new iPad Pro is slightly faster than the model that Apple launched in 2018, with scores of 712.218 and 705.585 respectively.

We do not know why Apple decided not to implement the A13 processor that is currently available in the iPhone 11 but in the X variant. Instead, it has used a variant of the A12X, available in the 2018 model, so It should come as no surprise that the performance result is pretty much the same.

In terms of graphics power, the iPad Pro 2020 reaches a score of 373.781 while the 2018 model is 345.016, which is an increase of 8%. This difference is not only due to the extra graphics processor of the 2020 model, but also to the 2 GB of RAM that incorporates the entire new iPad Pro range.
