Yeah I wish it was a little lighter but it definitely made the switch from 3 to 4 a little more justified.
And exactly the same as an iPad 4. And twice as good as an iPad 3.
(iPad 3 and 4 have to push four times as many pixels as an iPad mini or iPad 2. An iPad 3 is twice as powerful, while an iPad 4 is four times as powerful).
Obviously, the iPad 4 offers the best quality (namely Retina quality), but performance wise (think frame rate, think special effects) there is no difference.
Just got a mini (coming from an iPad 3). I think I was a bit naive. I didn't expect to see much performance difference. However I noticed some "video tearing" and lag or stuttering when playing "Dead Trigger" on the mini. The game ran smooth as butter on my iPad 3.
iPad 4 gets everything (Retina, best frame rates, all the special affects)
then its iPad 2
then iPad 3
I noticed no lag or stuttering playing Dead Trigger on my Mini. Plays very smooth
Hmmm. Maybe it was because my mini was downloading other apps in the background? I was first playing Dead Trigger while restoring my new mini from an old iCloud backup
