Today's news, according to MacRumors, Apple is expected to release the new iPad Pro in October, which will be the most powerful iPad model in the Apple market.
According to reports, Apple will bring two sizes: 11-inch and 12.9-inch. The new iPad of is equipped with Apple M2 processor. This chip has been applied to the MacBook product line.
It is reported that the new M2 chip continues to use Apple's traditional customized Arm architecture, adopts the second-generation 5nm manufacturing process, and is equipped with 20 billion transistors . Compared with M1, the performance of the neural network engine has been improved by 40% and the memory bandwidth has been improved by 50%.
Not only that, the number of M2 transistors is 1.25 times that of M1 chip . In order to obtain better performance than M1, Apple has used a brand new performance and efficiency core on the M2 chip, with a memory bandwidth of 100Gbps and a maximum support of 24GB of LPDDR5 memory.
In addition, Apple M2's new CPU has 8 cores, including 4 high-performance cores and 4 high-efficiency cores. The performance core has 16MB of shared cache, while the energy efficiency core has 4MB of shared cache. Compared with M1, the CPU of the M2 chip is 18% faster and the GPU is 35% faster. In addition to being equipped with Apple M2,
also reported that the new iPad Pro will use glass instead of an aluminum case. Apple seems to intend to add wireless charging function to iPad Pro. In this way, the new iPad Pro will also support wireless reverse charging, which can power AirPods or iPhone.
It is worth noting that MacRumors said that Apple is considering adding MagSafe function to iPad Pro, and it is still uncertain whether it will be applied on mass production machines.
