With 120Hz, 4 speakers, faster graphics, and all the support for peripherals, it'd be my choice. Personally, I'd still say the 10.5" Pro is a better buy. The back is one of five metallic color options - silver, a darker 'Space Gray', Rose Gold. It arrives with just enough ‘Pro’ features to make the current 11-inch iPad Pro difficult to recommend, and a decent array of extras to. The iPad Air 4th Gen (Wi-Fi Only) features a fully-laminated, antireflective 10.9' LED-backlit 2360x1640 'Liquid Retina' display (264 ppi, 500 nits) surrounded by a thin black bezel and and packed in a thin case with rounded corners and flat sides. I'd still try to see if you can find head to head examples for whatever apps you're going to run to be the defining factor. The iPad Air 2022 is Apple’s best all-around tablet. It's up to you to decide what is more important there. Meaning that the Air is around 1/3rd slower in terms of graphics performance. HOWEVER, the 2nd Gen iPad Pro is significantly faster in Metal performance (GPU). You can decide for yourself if that speed difference is signficant. ~800 in single (25% difference) and ~2000 (20% difference) in multi or so compared to the second Gen iPad Pro. CPU performance in both single and multi core is better on A12 (even non X). They don't have the iPad Air listed yet, but iPhone XS/XS Max's are available. I still would say again: look up benchmarks for your particular applications, but I'm still reasonably sure the Gen 2 Pro is much faster than the current Gen Air.ĮDIT: So I found Geekbenche's iOS benchmarks. If you aren't going to do audio production, video editing, or lots of multi-tasking there may be very little benefit of Gen 3 over Gen 2 in terms of processor (however the graphics improvement is significant). It's crazy that the third Gen was so much faster, although mostly only in multi-theaded workloads and not as much in single threaded workloads. There are a lot of people that also have the misunderstanding in the power of the X versus the standard chips (I saw people on Slickdeals balking at 2nd gen iPad Pro deals also erroneously believing that current gen non-Pro variants were faster and that it was outdated). The iPad Pro 2nd/3rd Gen also has 4 GB of RAM as compared to the Air's 3GB's (if that makes any difference to you). That's what makes the Pro the Pro, and also why it's so much faster than the standard non-x processors. Something that can be done when the device and battery are much larger than an SOC that has to work in a phone. The X variants are also clocked much higher. ![]() The non X variations don't have the crazy amounts of cores that the X versions do in terms of GPU and GPU. The "X" series of processors are always much faster than their non "X" standard counterparts. With GPU performance twice as fast as Gen 2 (says Apple). The GPU/CPU featured massive upgrades over Gen 2, most specifically in multicore applications. As you can do that in a much larger device as compared to an SoC that must work in a phone. ![]() Not to mention the X processors are clocked much higher in terms of both CPU and GPU. To say the least is a massive difference. To Better answer your question here, the A10X has a 12 core GPU, which appears to be the same as the one used in Gen 1. Gen 2 A10X Hex Core, a massive improvement over Gen1. ![]() ![]() Gen 1 has A9X - 12 Core PowerVR 7 Series GPU and Hex Core CPU: They launched the 12.9" then the 9.7" roughly half a year later IIRC. There have been 2 variants of the iPad Pro more or less from the beginning.
