iPad will be replaced with M series processors in the future

by ·

Although the A14 processor has come out, in terms of GPU performance, it is still under the A12X/A12Z, which shows that Apple attaches great importance to the iPad. The latest news in the industry comes out, the iPad will introduce M series processors in the future.

Judging from the information currently disclosed, the latest time point is 2022 or 2023, which is the era of the 3nm process. Of course, it is not ruled out that Apple will be equipped with M1 or M1X on the iPad Pro updated in the first half of next year.

At present, the A12Z processor iPad Pro has a 4650 running score in GeekBench 5, and the M1 version of MacBook Air is 18086. This shows the huge difference in performance. In addition, after the iPad launched the M series processor, it had to make people think of the integration trend of iPad and Mac hardware.

As reported by UDN:

As TSMC (2330) sprinted for 3nm deployment, it was reported that Apple was the first to contract 3nm initial production capacity, mainly producing its own M series processors for the new generation of Mac notebooks and iPad products. TSMC plans to complete certification and trial production of 3nm next year, and mass production in 2022. Now it is “become a sensation before it shows up.” Apple has taken the lead in capacity, allowing TSMC’s advanced manufacturing process to once again win over Samsung.
