If it's the same A12 + (pseudo) 3 GB DRAM setup as in the XR, then it's NOT a true 3 GB DRAM device !
Specifically, the XR does NOT act like a true 3 GB DRAM device ! ... that has been proven !
However, many won't notice the issue since neither the new 10.5" Air or 7.9" mini include a 12 Mpx image sensor ... specifically here, for those who don't know, a sufficient amount of DRAM is required when capturing Full-Res 12 Mpx photos ... this is where most will notice the Diff between 2 GB vs 3 GB vs 4 GB.
Both of the new iPads include the same set of cameras, 8 Mpx on the Back, & 7 Mpx on the Front ... so, 3 GB is ok with both.
I believe AAPL learned from their XR mistake.
The XR would have been fine with 4 GB of DRAM, but is a Dog / Performance Lemon with it's current (pseudo) 3 GB DRAM setup.
Few in the General Public know this.
People needs to ignore this. ( Or Him / Her Even )
Below is what he posted after
There is a Performance Controller bug in at least the A12 in the XR.
That's been proven.
Hopefully, the new iPads don't get the exact same A12 !
For those of you who don't know, the Performance Controller is basically "the Scheduler" for work on the various processor cores.
Earlier versions of AAPL's processors had simpler Performance Controller designs that do NOT have the problem.
For example, the A10 in the 7+ runs like an absolute Gem of an iPhone.
The XR runs like a Performance Lemon.
There is ONE benchmark out there that enables anyone to test any currently available iPhone or iPad.
Very specifically, it appears the Synthetic Benchmarks are NOT testing the switching capabilities of processors ... in AAPL's case, what they call the Performance Controller.
Performance Controller? Switching? Scheduler?
Wow. Tell me more about it. Or in specific terms, is not like we don't have CPU expert in the forum. Or you know those aren't even the terms we use. And even if it did, what does that have to do with memory? And specifically (pseudo ) memory.
