i no this is still a little early but has any one been able too find a screen shot with geekbench 4 with the 10.5" ipad ? i really would like too no how much ram the new 10.5" ipad has all so if you so find any screen shots out there please post them here
 
I think, it is fake.
Apple would otherwise would have gold u's WWDC that it has a 60 to 70% improvement over the a9x/a10. They stated a 30% increase in cpu performance. I think it will be about 7600 multicore score.
But don' t get me wrong: i want it to be 9000 ...bad

I wonder if there will be a difference in frequency of the CPU between the 10.5 and new 12.9 iPad Pro (and wonder if they both have 4gb).

I really hate the fact apple did not release a new design for the 12.9, with smaller bezels like the 10.5.
Or that they did not choose to have the same res as on the 10.5 , like the 12.9.

One of both would have persuaded me to buy one of both, now i, m still hesitating.
 
Surely this is fake?! I mean 9000 multi-core is CRAZY! I really want it to be a genuine benchmark as if so, that is incredible and Apple highly under-rated the performance improvement over the A9X.

I considered this also, especially because we had seen a 'leaked' geekbench score last year that showed smaller and more realistic gains and it sounded like a small increase from what Apple said on stage.

But due to the model identifier, details of the processor, and time of benchmark, I think that they are real. Remember, there is another high performance core so this isn't an unbelievable gain in terms of multi core score.

9000 multi core is real. 3 cores as opposed to 2. Single core score is around 30% better. Here are more scores direct from their website:

[doublepost=1497039973][/doublepost]PS - It benchmarks pretty much equally with the 2016 13" dual core i7 Macbook Pro. Yup. When Apple makes the claim that the new iPad Pro is more powerful than most laptop PC's on their website - they aren't pulling your chain.

I'm guessing the reason they didn't advertise multi-core is because regular users won't notice. Majority of apps don't scale well to multiple threads so apps that are limited by a single-thread performance would only see 30% improvement at best.

Where the extra core helps is in multitasking with side by side active apps.

Definitely believe it now. I knew that most apps are single thread based and that single-core performance matters more on iOS especially, but you'd think for marketing purposes they'd go all out to state that their performance improvement is huge. Maybe they want to set performance improvement expectations for the future when each year the gains get smaller?

Apple's focus is user experience rather than specs. Most users wouldn't see an almost 2x speed so it's probably best they didn't advertise it as such.

That said, managing future expectations is possibly part of their reasoning. I reckon Apple could've boasted 12+ hours battery life on some of the older iPads and the current 2017 iPad 9.7 but they kept the technical specifications listing 10-hour battery life. I went from ~16 hours onscreen time on iPad 4 to ~12 hours on iPad Air to ~10 hours on Pro 9.7. If they had advertised 16 hours battery life on the iPad 4, the Pro 9.7's battery life would look quite poor indeed.

I'm a bit anxious of what the higher screen refresh rate will have on the 10.5 inch iPad Pro's battery life.
