In mid-March, Apple officially unveiled the next generation iPad pro on its website without any warning and introduced the a12z chip at a starting price of $6,229. Of course, this device outperforms many Apple mobile devices. From rabbit's performance list, we can see that the new iPad Pro has a strong performance.
The data in this list is based on V8 statistics for rabbit on IOS. The data was collected from March 1 to March 31, 2020. The results in the list are average running points, not maximum running points, which is more representative.
Looking at the overall rankings, the iPad Pro 4 (12.9-inch) took first place without a doubt, with an average score of 747,937. As for the second device, it was the older iPad Pro 3 (12.9-inch) with an average score of 716,322, while the third device was the iPad Pro 4 (11-inch) with an average score of 715,253.
As you can see from the sub-scores, the iPad Pro 3 (12.9-inch) at 256gb outperforms the iPad Pro (11-inch) at 128gb of RAM, which doesn't mean that the a12z is any weaker than the a12x, which is the advantage of the older iPad Pro 3 (12.9-inch) with its large storage coming in second.
According to the official website, the a12z is based on the a12x with an additional GPU core, consisting of an 8-core CPU and an 8-core GPU (the a12x is an 8-core CPU + 7-core GPU). Regardless of the announced frequency/process, etc., the performance of the a12z will theoretically be improved over the a12x, and judging from the performance of the sub-scores, the 3D scores of the iPad Pro 4 series are indeed higher than those of the older iPad Pro 3 (12.9-inch), with a difference of around 20,000 points. If it weren't for the storage advantage, the iPadPro 4 (11-inch) would certainly outperform the older devices.
As you can see from their running points, the performance difference between the a12z and a12x is not that big. The former only improves on the GPU. Despite the suspicion of toothpaste squeezing, we have to admit that the a12z is the strongest mobile SOC available.
The fourth ranked device is the iPad Pro 3 (11-inch) with 256gb of storage, running at an average of 709,190. the CPU is basically the same as its second big brother. the pull subsections are GPU and mem. the storage pull subsection is understandable. As for the GPU, it can only be attributed to the large space, which leads to good heat dissipation and facilitates continuous high frequency operation of the a12x.
Behind the tablet are the famous iPhone devices, the three brothers of the iPhone 11 released last year, all powered by the A13 chip, in order iphone11promax, iPhone 11 Pro and iphone11, with average running scores of 537,154, 521,010 and 517,400 respectively.
As you can see, the A13 and a12x have almost the same CPU performance, the GPU is just inferior. Although the A13 adopts a new architecture, but its overall performance does not catch up with the a12x, Apple only has the advantage of surpassing itself.
Finally, devices with 12 chips, ranked iPad air 3, iPad Mini 5, and iPhone XS max, had average running scores of 482611, 463089, and 443337. these devices with A12 chips ranked solidly in the top 10 before Apple released new devices.
In a nutshell, the prestigious iPhone 9 could be coming in April and it could bring the iPhone 9 Plus. if released it will surely change the ranking of IOS devices, so stay tuned.
