I Got This For Your Mom - iPad Pro M5

Quick Overview

The new iPad Pro M5 offers significant performance upgrades over the M4, notably featuring a 10-core GPU with a new Neural Engine architecture resulting in massive boosts in GPU performance for AI workloads, achieving 16360 in Geekbench 6 multi-core compared to the M4's 14839, and delivering 13% average boost in GPU performance during sustained load tests like 3DMark Wild Life Extreme Stress Test, while also featuring a faster 153GB/s memory bandwidth (up from 120GB/s) and a 10,000 nit peak brightness Tandem OLED Ultra Retina XDR display, although it retains the same thinness and overall exterior design as its predecessor.

Key Points: The iPad Pro M5 features a new 10-core GPU architecture with a Neural Engine, delivering up to 3.5x faster AI performance compared to the M4. Geekbench 6 multi-core scores show the M5 achieving 16360, a 11% increase over the M4's 14839 score. Sustained GPU performance in the 3DMark Wild Life Extreme Stress Test showed a 13% average boost for the M5 over the M4. Memory bandwidth increased to 153GB/s on the M5 1TB/2TB models, up from 120GB/s on the M4. The M5 iPad Pro features a 13-inch Tandem OLED Ultra Retina XDR Display with 2752x2064 resolution and 10-120Hz ProMotion, capable of reaching 10,000 nits peak brightness. The 1TB and 2TB models now include 16GB of RAM, compared to 8GB in the base M4 models. The 256GB and 512GB M5 models retain the 8GB RAM configuration found in the M4, but now include the 20W charger, which the M4 generation omitted for Pro models.
