M1 vs A14X iPad Pro — The TRUTH

iPad Pro with M1. Power of M1. Give it to me now. Like now now. Only… if Apple sticks to pattern, it won’t be an M1. Not exactly. It’ll be A14X. And that’s caused… some confusion. Some consternation. But let me explain.

What will the iPad do with M1 if it also keeps the iPadOS..?

For about 2 years now (may be more) the OS is holding back the iPad not the hardware.

[thegadgetzone]

It’s weird how I want a faster cpu in my iPad just so I can open the YouTube app 😂

[fblondon]

It can have 10 m1 chips but if no pro apps then pointless I had 2018 iPad Pro so won’t be upgrading until apple release pro apps software needs to match the hardware

[akilanimsararathnayake]

I just realized I am wasting my internet data to listen to leaks that won’t happen

[TypeErrorDubs]

“Just love all your children equally” lmao I legit cracked up

[michaellatta]

If the m1 can be binned to fill iPad Pro with lower bin chips it may be more cost efficient to reuse m1 rather than a slightly smaller chip just for iPad.

[cassiod.rodrigues]

With the M1/A14X, will the iPad Pro be able to run Big Sur? Is that the endgame?

[supdawg]

I always thought it was absurd that they would put the M1 into the iPad Pro. The M1 almost certainly has components that are totally unnecessary for it, even for the Pro model.

[alright]

I don't think the a14x will have the exact same performance as the m1, but it will come close. Let me explain. You see the a12 and a12x were both clocked at 2.5ghz, and had the same amount of cache. However, the a14 bionic is clocked at 3 ghz and had 8mb of l2 cache for the performance cores, where as the m1 is clocked at 3.2 ghz and has 12 mb of l2 cache for the performance cores. So I speculate that the a14x will have the same clock speed and cache as the a14 bionic. Also, combined with the thermal and power constraints of the iPad, it won't be as powerful as the m1, but burst performance will certainly come close to the m1 MacBook air. I expect it to have significantly less sustained performance than the m1 and most likely only having the 7 core gpu, probably down clocked and TDP downed slight. Don't know about ram, but I could see apple doing something where it's 6gb on most models but maybe 8gb on the top storage model. Either way, this is going to be an insanely powerful tablet.

I hear Rinie talking for hours but always understand too little

[keithnmoore]

The iPad Pro will continue to get held back by software, there’s nothing on the iPad Pro that couldn't run on an entry level iPad. Developers want their apps and software on all iPads, they won’t make iPad Pro specific apps for the most expensive iPad.

[RameshKumar-ngnf]

Dude, a honest feedback and suggestion. Please talk straight to the point and then you can elaborate the history of it. You make very confusing by mixing up all information and talking to point somewhere in middle. Your presentation needs to be structured for clarity as a viewer. Hope you take positively.

0:01 Rene Ritchie: iPad Pro with M1 give it to me now
Apple: Sure here you go, we also added Mini led, 5G, thunderbolt along with M1 enjoy!

[smoothiethepotato]

Originally apple introduced A14 Bionic Chip with iPad Air (4th generation)

[HenrikoMagnifico]

In all honesty, I don't really see the point of M1 in iPad Pro? Like, sure, it would be nice to have that extra power just because but do we really need it? There aren't many apps at all on iPad that really stresses the A12X. And a simple step-up to A14X would be more than enough power for 99% or users. Is it really worth it?

[jamesleetrigg]

Don’t you mean added three graphic cores as one of them was disabled on the A12X? 🤔

[coppercoyotegtx]

The code name cores you gave the Apple chips is a neat character to them 👍

[extra]

Unless there’s gonna be new software to take advantage of it, there’s literally nothing my 2018 iPad Pro 11” can’t handle right now. iPadOS and the apps it allows is holding back the iPad’s potential

[peatlow]

More memory in the new chip already so I don’t log out of my accounts in Safari tabs please? 🙄 The fact I have to keep asking this means the iPad Pro is not the computer I wanted it to be

[mikebrunet]

nice transition at the end there from the upcoming Apple product cost, saving money, then right into the add. Advertisers must love you Rene.
