[iMore Question]

Stressing about this too much. Anyways, which chip’s GPU and CPU are better for gaming? I’m talking about the 10.5 inch iPad Pro and the iPad Air 3. My iPad Air 2 has slowed me down for the past year, running 15 fps on low setting in PUBG. So which is better? I want to get the faster chip on the Air 3, but also want the better camera, speakers, and the 120hz display.

Welcome to iMore. Feel free to join our forum. I would suggest getting the best all around iPad if your going to be using it for more than gaming.

The best would more often than not be the newest chipset.

The IPAd Pro is still better than the new iPad for action gaming. Get the 12.9" if the larger screen is worth it to you. Otherwise get the 11". Either is a very good gaming tablet.

Get the Pro 10.5 over the Air if gaming is more important. The 10X has a better gpu then the A12.

Ummm...do you even bother checking benchmarks before you post false info like this? The A12 DESTROYS the A10X in gaming. The A12 has around a 77,000 3D Mark Unlimited score while the A10X only has around a 52,000. Please explain your reasoning behind your claim!

First of all: Shame is on you.
Second of all: you are rude
Third of all: do not use googling as your source of any sort of education.
4th; I run 3D mark rendering test every day, cuz I am professional renderer. 3D mark calculation is for measuring the performance of cores, and mark score 77,000 is achieved by CPU calculation. simply CPU calculated 3D objects' triangle planes and even light trays and there is a bunch of parameters. 3D mark does not mean how the GPU performs, it can measure the processing unit's core performance. it could be any core..cores...
Conclusion: iPad Pro 2nd gen has much better GPU than A12 bionic iPad Air, indeed.
