Many people expected the new iPad Pro to feature a variation of the A14 Bionic chip in the iPhone 12 series. Apple would use an A14X processor in typical fashion with the A-series chip nomenclature for the iPad Pro, but the System-on-Chip (SoC) would be closer to the M1 than the A14. Reports preceding Apple’s spring event said that the 2021 iPad Pros would be as powerful as the M1 Macs that Apple launched last November. Apple surprised everyone during the show, putting the same powerful M1 processor inside both the 11-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pro models. This gave the new iPad Pros more power than any other tablet out there and more power than Intel-based laptops. As we’ve already explained, the M1 iPad Pro has too much power than it needs, although Apple already teased that developers might use all that extra headroom for more advanced applications — and Apple also happens to be an iPadOS developer.
The new iPad Pros are available to preorder, and the first reviews should drop next week, according to recent leaks. The first benchmark tests are already here, confirming that the iPad Pro will be a considerable problem for both Intel and Android tablet makers.
