On May 10th, according to a post from the official AnTuTu account, a device with the model number iPad 16.6 completed benchmark testing on AnTuTu's backend, confirming it is likely the newly released iPad Pro 2024.
AnTuTu's data indicates that the iPad Pro 2024 excels in various performance tests. The CPU scored 723,817 points, while the GPU achieved an impressive 1,120,143 points, surpassing the total scores of many platforms in this specific category.
At the same time, the MEM score and UX score have reached 470,720 and 430,193 points respectively, showing a very strong overall performance.
This score represents a significant improvement compared to the previous iPad Pro equipped with the M2 chip. The new iPad Pro 2024 is powered by the all-new Apple M4 chip, built on TSMC's 3nm process, with 280 billion transistors, delivering outstanding performance.
According to Apple's official introduction, the CPU performance of the M4 chip has increased by 35% compared to the previous generation, while the GPU performance has seen a remarkable 50% improvement. This enhancement allows the new iPad Pro to effortlessly handle complex tasks, run large games, and engage in professional creative work.
The M4 chip features a design with 10 cores, including 4 performance cores and 6 efficiency cores. The performance cores are responsible for providing single-threaded performance and responsiveness, while the efficiency cores handle multi-threaded performance and energy efficiency.
This design enables the M4 chip to maintain high performance while also keeping power consumption relatively low, delivering a superior user experience.
Notably, the M4 chip is also equipped with a new 10-core GPU. This GPU utilizes Apple's dynamic cache feature, which can dynamically allocate local memory in real-time within the hardware, significantly boosting the performance of professional and gaming applications.
