The new A12Z SoC manages to impress us in a negative way. We were suspecting it would not be that much faster than the A12X, but we would have never guessed that it only has a 1% edge over the 2018 model. Still, the performance is well above anything available from the competitors, yet it does not necessarily recommend it as a worthy upgrade since Apple will release even better models in 6 months.
The Apple iPad Pro 2020 has scored 7,12,218 points for the overall performance. While everyone was expecting it to outrun the iPad Pro (2019) by a huge margin, that, unfortunately, isn’t the case. The iPad Pro 2019 is just slightly behind the new iPad Pro 2020 with a score of 7,05,585 points.
The iPad Pro 2020, however, has a significant leap over its predecessor in terms of GPU performance, as it has scored 3,73,781 points in the GPU test as compared to the score of 3,45,016 points that the iPad Pro 2019 has managed to achieve. Surprisingly, the iPad Pro 2020 is significantly slower than iPad Pro 2019 in terms of memory (RAM) performance, as the former has scored 74,998 points in the RAM test and the latter has achieved 95,118 points. That, however, could be due to software optimization issue. The CPU scores of the iPad Pro 2020 and iPad Pro 2019 remain the same.
Anyway, the baseline is that the iPad Pro 2020 is faster than iPad 2019 in terms of GPU performance, whereas, the CPU and RAM performance are mostly unchanged. The scores of both the iPads on AnTuTu is still higher than that of any Android device so far, including the ones with Qualcomm Snapdragon 865. We wonder what will Apple achieve with the A13 Bionic chipset that is expected to make its debut with the next-generation iPhones.
