Apple’s upcoming iPad Air 4 is set to debut in the coming days, but the sneak peek afforded to us by its latest benchmarks reveal that it’s even more powerful than previously predicted.
Twitter user @UniverseIce took to Twitter with some intriguing benchmark results attributed to the “iPad 13.2,” which is actually 2020’s new iPad Air. Geekbench scores the new model clocks at 1,583 for single-core and 4,198 for multi-core performance.
Apple previously indicated that the new A14 Bionic chip, which this iPad features, would offer up to a 40 percent increase in performance when compared to the previous model, which aligns with these first numbers. It’s a positive sign for those interested in picking up the new iPhone supposedly in the works from Apple that’s set to debut sometime this month.
Currently, iPhone 11 models utilize the A13 Bionic chip, which perform somewhat better than the iPad Air 3 with Geekbench scores at 1,327 for single-core and 3,286 for multi-core. If it’s true that the iPhone 12 or its extended line of models will be using the new A14 Bionic processor, they’ll deliver much-improved performance over their predecessors.
For those interested in picking up an iPad Air 4, it’s meant to go on sale this month, but there’s no firm October date set just yet. The same can be said of Apple’s impending iPhone reveal event. All signs currently point to a mid-October release for the new line.
It’s unclear at this point, as Apple hasn’t made its official announcement just yet. What is clear is that the A14 Bionic chip will undoubtedly be responsible for powering the next wave of Apple tech, and it looks like there’s a bright future in store thus far.
