Why the A12 Bionic Chip Still Outperforms the Competition
At the core of this iPad is Apple's A12 Bionic chip featuring an advanced Neural Engine. When this processor hit the market, it delivered a 40 percent boost in CPU performance and double the graphics speed compared to its predecessor.
PERFORMANCE BREAKDOWN (A12 Bionic Relative Speed)
• vs. Top-Selling Windows Laptops: Up to 2x Faster
• vs. Top-Selling Android Tablets: Up to 3x Faster
