Apple is expected to unveil the 2021 iPad Pro this month and per earlier reports, it will be fueled by the A14X Bionic, which is apparently based on the A14 chip that powers the iPhone 12 family. Leaked benchmark scores that surfaced back in November 2020 had suggested that the 5nm chip would be a huge improvement over the A12Z Bionic that underpins the current iPad Pro.
A seriously powerful iPad Pro with 5G and a new display tech
The processor was introduced in November last year. It has 16 billion transistors, an 8-core CPU, and 8 graphics cores, and it uses the same architecture as the iPhone and iPad. You can even run your iPhone and iPad apps on M1 computers, but only those that developers have allowed. The experience is not all that great and there are also compatibility issues, largely because Macs don’t have a touchscreen, according to online reviews.
