No I have a 2018 12.9 256GB, which is 4GB of RAM.

New iPad Pro Begins to Arrive to Customers Around the World

My ipad is 5 years old so for me this is a great upgrade. Not sure why people are so butthurt... who upgrades each iteration? the 2018 is still fast as hell. Mini led sounds nice but Id rather let them iron out any kinks that usually come with new tech.
I've seen that comparison a lot, but I don't agree. The problem with the iPad 3 is that it added a Retina display but didn't add sufficient additional power, and the device was kinda laggy and unsatisfactory as a result.
This is a minor upgrade, yes, but only for people who already own the 2018 pro. It will be terrific for people upgrading from an earlier model or buying their first iPad Pro, and that wasn't the case with iPad 3.
He never said that all
He said Apple wouldn’t confirm ram but it’s been proven all models have 6GB of ram
Seems rather foolish not knowing what you’re buying...
He also said verbatim “which to me sounds like that don’t all have 6GB of RAM”. Go back and watch the video. It’s not a big deal I’m just curious.
Somebody who got theirs today which was 12.9 128Gb said his has 6GB of ram via geekbench
Waiting eagerly to see if they are still pre-bent out of the box.

The biggest issue aside from how ridiculous it is that it's bent in the first place is they aren't allowing warranty because of the bends.
Making an official statement saying it's a natural occurence from the manufacturing process. Then not warranting it... What a joke..

It is rather sad how Apple never talks about RAM on the iPads seeing as how that's always their biggest issue, at least for me and I doubt I'm unique. With every iPad I've had the CPU/GPU were always fine for my use-cases but I started hitting my head against the RAM ceiling sooner than anything else.
Over the years as I slowly moved away from the pc world and over to apple I find myself less focused on hardware specs and more the experience. The software is so optimized that I’m usually surprised when I do learn of the specs. So i can see why apple doesnt focus on this all the time and only when it really has an impact on user experience like Face Id or something.
so you jumped the gun and made the purchase without looking at the details?
can't say i feel bad for you, rather foolish
Yes, you are right and people do get too spec obsessed instead of focusing on their use cases.
However, I'm tired of having apps reloading when I multitask but I'm on disability so I'm stuck with my iPad Air 2 (which I bought because my iPad 2 didn't have enough memory to do tabbed web browsing), though I dream of a bigger screen and more RAM. Maybe next year I'll look into the used iPad Pro market, the old Pro 10.5 maybe.
Having said that, as a quadriplegic with limited hand function iPads are amazing and have improved my life.
I've been tracking the UPS truck. Mine should be here in about 10 minutes. My 2018 model has a cracked screen so I can have it replaced through Applecare. A friend recently switched to Apple products so he's been looking at iPads. I'll sell him that one to offset the cost of the 2020 version.
CPU increase is being reported at 0.5-0.9% faster and graphics at 8-9% from various reviews if you google it.
New iPad Pro's first benchmark results disappoint
The 2020 iPad Pro is only 1% faster than its predecessor, according to a new report

yes I’ve seen most of those reviews. However pretty much everybody is focused on geek bench, single and multi core. Nice, givesInsight to one aspect of performance but synthetic. Has anybody done comparisons under heavy load e.g 15 minute 4K lumafusion export? Suspect that’s where thermal improvements and tangible real world performance gains may be seen if apples claims of thermal performance improvements are to be believed. Even if the improvement was “only” 10% in graphics that could mean a 10 minute long Render export completed one minute earlier than iPad Pro 2018. Nothing to sniff at for certain workloads. Nevertheless I’ve a choice between saving a few dollars on 2018 or getting 2020 for a few hundred more. To me, even if performance difference was believable in CPU, other improvements, particularly in areas of sound and microphone hardware updates are pushing me towards the 2020. Never mind better multi tasking from 6gb vs 4gb. I’m good with this update.

5G models will be out in a few months
6-7 months is more than a few months...
