New iPad Pro With M5 Chip Leaked in Unboxing Video

I hope it is not 12GB it should be 16GB like the base Mac. If it does have 16 then I may have to second think upgrading
it's 12GB for the base model, end of the story.
Apple will certainly give at least 16 to the 1TB model, and maybe even 24, or reserve the 24 for the 2TB model, or even a new 4TB
hoping the larger storage pros get the ram bump, otherwise i may get the discounted m4 instead
For those interested he did some more tests after the video, I found them on geekbench and they are slightly higher:
It's a 9 core chip, so probably a binned one like the M4, the full M5 should be in the 1TB+ model and should be faster
I mean, this guy is essentially harmless. It was an entertaining video, he was cracking jokes about Apple and how expensive the pricing is, the lack of a 45W charger, etc. We are not at war with all Russians. Some of them are just interested in new tech and Apple products like the rest of us.
Didn't the base models have 16GB RAM in them, but an unfixable software bug prevented the non-1TB/2TB models from accessing the extra 8GB?
But consider that as Apple releases better GPUs with better rasterization and hardware ray tracing support and other tech, the faster and more fully featured technology may attract more gaming studios to target MacOS.
This will make for an excellent upgrade for users still on the 2018 iPad Pro. iPadOS 26 is barely running on it as is.
This doesn't look good. Hopefully it doesn't mean the 1 and 2 TB versions will max out at 24GN of RAM. With something so capable like the M5, a base pro device needs at least 16GB of RAM. I bought the M4 iPad Pro and it let me down badly with the 8GB. I learned my lesson. I was/am ready to jump to the TB storage options if I can get at least 32 GB. With Blender announcing it was heading to the iPad Pro I was ready to finally take the jump. But Blender with less than 32GB RAM is torturous. Let's see what happens. There is always waiting for a more efficient M6 with a vapor chamber for cooling.
I mean, you're not the real Max Verstappen, so I'll just take your "trust me bro" with a grain of salt
or worse, that it maxes out at 24GB for the TB options. I was finally ready to jump the the TB options if it got up to 32GB. I learned my lesson. There is no reason a capable device with an M5 be stuck at 12GB. It was sad seeing my M4 iPad Pro letting me down with the base 8GB and not letting me to import or export or work with more complex models.

A very short pipeline since Siberia and China share a border.
Apparently anything more than solitaire. An Nvidia 4060 is barely adequate if you look at gamer sites. I'm not a gamer so the M1 does fine for me.
What were you expecting? It’s on the first page of Geekbench’s fastest ever single core scores. In a thin fanless device.
