Ipad Pro 2020 better in every way? How come?

Off course, it is using latest CPU with extra one core for GPU.
No surprise here, if running slower then need to be surprise.

Ipad pro indeed is a very powerful device. Even the previous gen still running today without ever hiccup.. overwhelming power under the hood, more than what it needs for its usage.. except those who deal with super demanding media content and rendering, but you better off with a proper computer then. The current ipad need no more power to stay relevant for at least next 3 years.. i wonder what else apple would do in the next gen.. almost feel it doesn’t need to be another new model unless with major design changes. They just need to keep improving the software especially for productivities
*
Yup agree, and battery consumption as well.I notice this iPad Pro battery is not that last longer compare with my previous iPad Air 2. Haha!

I forgot to test whether it can run 8K HDR video or not. I got one 8K HDR documentary where none of my device can playback in proper, include LG C9 TV, Apple TV 4K and also my few years ago iCore7 laptop. Haha! If this iPad also cannot play, means they is still enhancement of CPU and GPU. Haha!

Not latest CPU, same CPU model but just optimized. Haha

If dedicated media player like tv can’t play, even laptop can’t, i think it makes sense too if ipad can’t. Seems like the media is just too heavy for todays devices
*
It get optimize and open the last GPU core. So it is new and latest. Unless you can do that to previous one but can’t.

This is same as snapdragon 865+, to me 865+ is latest than 865 even though both is similar. rolleyes.gif

Anyway for iPad processor do is too powerful, I compare with my sister iPad Air 2 (mine already sold in year 2015) can’t feel any differences for normal usage in performance wise. Haha!

Off course not in multimedia and gaming part.

Is it normal if my iPad Pro 2020 only score 650k average?

I think this is kind of low, are you benchmark after long play games or running any apps that generate a lot heat?

Hi Andrew, thanks for your reply.

I didn’t install any games in my iPad. Before benchmark, I switch on my air conditioner to 16 degree Celsius, make sure it’s 100% battery and closed all my applications running but unfortunately still kept getting the same low average. On top of that, few factory reset had been done and still getting the same low average..

I saw a lot of YouTube videos getting average 720k-750k. Despite the low benchmark score of mine, I Don’t experience any lagging or performance drop in daily usage.

Just wondering is my unit faulty? I order through Apple site
*
Your scores is like 3rd generation scores not current 4th generation.

TBC you sure yours is 4th generation with 2 rear camera and also a TOF 3D LiDAR scanner?

Why need 100% battery? If you immediate benchmark after full charge may lower down the scores due to charging generate heat.

I didn't closed any background apps and in room temperature of 24°c during benchmark.

Yes I’m sure mine is 4th generation and been waiting the shipment for one month from China.

I charged it to 100% and not carry the benchmark test straightaway. I took off my case as well to make sure it’s neither hot nor warm.

I just tried to benchmark it like your condition, not fully charged and no aircond. I get 640k in last two tests. Strange...
*
Weird.

Try download the AIDA64 and check the CPU information and post here, see same as mine or not.

Thanks for helping, Andrew. Here’s my test bench and aida64
*
I check back your benchmark and I notice the cupric probably due to the memory, your memory scores is lower much than mine one.

I guess Apple using different type of RAM for different capacity. Apple may choose lower performance one for 128GB edition v/s 256GB edition.

Your ROM Sequential Read and Write is very low compare with mine one.

ROM Sequential Read Yours v/s Mine = 8667 v/s 23231. (mine around 3x faster than)
ROM Sequential Write Yours v/s Mine = 7201 v/s 15784. (mine around 2x faster than)

Here is my score on 11 inch 128GB

Yours one closed to PowerGadget and also is 128GB.

I think can concluded Apple did using different performance type of RAM for different capacity.

Wonder how is the performance for 512GB & 1TB edition.

Here is my 3rd time benchmark and result here in details.

I think there is a difference between the 11 inch vs the 12.9 inch Ipad.

The differences is more towards capacity instead of screen size.

You check the iPad Pro 4 both is 128GB edition and the MEM performance is even slower than iPad Pro 3 of 256GB edition.

so we can conclude that better to get the 256gb or more variant for better performance?

Ya I think so, try avoid 128GB edition.

Hi Andrew, thank you very much for your explanation and assisting me to find the culprit of low benchmark score.

At least now I know that the score is rather normal for 128GB which keep me worrying quite some time since I get my device.

Appreciated it  thumbup.gif

Your are most welcome, because you're post I also known they is such differences.


QUOTE(Ronald_loulan @ Sep 3 2020, 07:45 PM)
Confirmed it with my Pro 11 2020 256GB.
The rom sequential read write almost 50% difference compare to 128GB.

Yup, so if can avoid 128GB, better straight up to 256GB edition.

I think this is also due to 128GB production issue, so far 128GB SSD for PC also is the least performance one.

Now we know that there is a difference between 128GB and 256GB.   Nevertheless, it is still a very smooth and fast device. 

I am slowly replacing my Ipad Pro 11 with my 2015 Macbook Pro. 

So far based on my usage, it can 80% fulfil that requirement mainly thanks to Safari being a Desktop browser now. And the Logitech Mice and Keyboard helped with the experience.

Only pain point is when split screen for Zoom, the camera for Zoom is switched off.  Other than that, so far so good.
*

Yeah yup and I also just bought a Logitech mouse. Haha!

Now it is kind of completed.

Short review of the mouse function, it is 90% functioning as touching the screen.
The only not working is pinch to zoom which allow zoom in your desire zoom level.
With mouse you can only double tab to zoom which the zoom level is fixed.

Second issue is the scrolling not as smooth as using in PC. It is not jitter but not good enough like touching screen to scroll. It is like part per part scrolling behaviour. It is getting better by adjusting the scrolling speed but still not as great as using the touch screen.

Heard scrolling is better in Apple Magic Mouse 2 but this cannot like this Logitech instant switch in between iPad and PC using same mouse.

Anyone using Magic Mouse 2 can confirmed this.
Is the scrolling is as smooth as using touch screen or touch pad?

Hi. No one using Magic Mouse 2?

How is the smoothness on scrolling? The Logitech M590 is not in my expectations smoothness on scroll.

So sad for those who just bought ipad Pro 2020

Nothing to regret. The screen is better in iPad Pro with 120hz. Camera also much better.

Also higher capacity.

iPad Air based model is cheaper but 64GB is a no for me. Too small already. If getting higher capacity, iPad Pro still a better choice.

Performance wise, nothing to worried as it is already freaking fast in 12z, even if 14 faster also can't feel. But the iPad Air without 120hz will noticeable in animation smoothness.

Just I hope that blue colour also have in iPad Pro, very nice colour. Haha.

Apple move to let iPad Air follow iPad Pro design is a great move. Finally more people can enjoy better iPad.

Finally update to iPadOS 14 and also my Apple TV 4K to tvOS 14 as well.

But ... where is the 4K for YouTube?

Also the new widget is buggy, it will auto squeeze to smaller size from time to time...

Frank speak a bit disappointed on this update. It is buggy and doesn't look final yet.

Hope it is ok to quickly ask here. First time ipad user. Just got a pro 12.9 last week. Noticed that most of the app store images (the app preview images) are not showing, just blanked. Restarted, and even erased clean and setup again but problem persist. The same with 13.7 or after updated to 14 (just did). And not just app store, but apple music as well. Though both still functional as is, just some/most of the images are not showing. Any idea what I can do? Wifi network seems fine. Registered with Malaysian apple id so it's Malaysia app store...

Are you using DiGi? I facing such issue recently since last week or last two weeks for all Apple device I have.

No issue when I switch to others Telco.
