The new Apple Pro 2018 is as powerful as the 2018 MacBook Pro

Tuesday November 6, 2018, 11:45 Apple recently announced the launch of the new iPad Pro 2018, featuring a modified version of the Apple A12 Bionic processor, which was used on the iPhone, released this year. As you probably know, the Apple A12X Bionic processor has eight cores, which makes it 35% faster to run single-core performance and 90% faster for multicore performance compared to the iPad Pro released the Last year.

The Apple A12X Bionic processor also incorporates a special seven-core Apple graphics processor that offers similar performance to the Xbox One. This often looks like a lot of marketing, but judging by the results of testing done on the recently monitored Geekbench platform, it seems that Apple is not talking about a vacuum, but telling the truth. The performance tests revealed that in terms of performance, compared to the new iPad Pro 2018 with a 15-inch version of the MacBook Pro 2018.

For example, the 2018 MacBook Pro with 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7 cores generated about 4,928 points per kernel test, while the 2018 Pro iPad got about 5025 points in the same test. However, in multi-core testing, the 2018 MacBook Pro still has a 21,000-point lead, while the 2018 iPad Pro has reached 18,106 points.

While this is impressive, it should be noted that the performance tests do not necessarily tell the whole story, but since we have learned that Apple plans to abandon the Intel processors on future Macs and d & # 39; Instead use their own processors, certainly encouraging results. In fact, last month's AnandTech website revealed that the Apple A12 Bionic processor of the iPhone XS was close to the performance of the desktop, indicating that the future in which we will see MacBook with Apple A Series processors are not too far away.
