Report Apple iPad Pro with M5 chip, which outperforms PC CPUs by a single core, hints at leakage.

Apple-m5-chip

Another leak has shown what could be the next generation iPad Pro using Apple M5 chip, and initial Geekbench 6 scores have raised eyebrows - particularly when compared to PC CPUs. The alleged iPad Pro, with the number "iPad 17,3" was said to get 4,133 points in the single-core test, besting all known stock-clocked PC chips in that score. 

Reportedly, M5 implementation in this device is a 9-core design, three high-performance cores and six efficiency cores, probably at speeds up to 4.42 GHz, combined with 12 GB of memory.  In leaked comparisons, the M5 is approximately 10-12 percent faster in single-core performance and approximately 15-16 percent faster in multi-core performance than its M4 predecessor. 


Nonetheless, the 15437 leaked result is more humble in the context of desktop chips, with lots of high-end x86 and AMD chips capable of offering much higher multi-threaded throughput in sustained workloads.  The M5 was weak in sustained heavy parallelism as found in large, desktop CPUs, but strong in efficiency and burst performance within a low power envelope.

Analysts warn that Geekbench scores on tablets should not be compared with even full-fledged PC chips, as the thermal factors, power delivery and real world workloads vary significantly.  Nevertheless, the leak reveals Apple silicon advances, it is evident that M5, even in a tablet format, can take on more traditional performance differences between ARM and x86 processors.

This is so far an undetermined leak. However, as genuine, the M5 iPad Pro may bring about new arguments about the relative performance of tablet chip to their cognitive PC CPUs, particularly in single-threaded performance. We will be keeping a close eye on the official introduction of Apple.
