A chip as powerful as the Apple M1 in the new iPad Pro?

In the last period there has been a lot of talk about the new Macs powered by the Apple M1 chip, but in Cupertino no one has forgotten about the devices based on the A line of processors: among those that could and should receive a hardware upgrade this year is iPad Pro, a product that is expected to achieve a level of performance comparable to that of the computers just included in the catalog of the bitten apple.

A14Z or A14X for the new iPad Pro: at the level of Apple M1?

To date it is not certain whether the equipped component will be called A14Z or A14X. According to what was reported over the weekend by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, the performance will be such that it can be aligned with that of the current Mac mini, MacBook Air and MacBook Pro. The provision of a module for connection to 5G networks is not to be excluded. .

The next generation of iPad Pro should also bring with it a mini-LED display as already assumed several times by the rumors, improving the quality of the experience offered from the point of view of brightness, depth of blacks and consumption optimization.

Apple is expected to introduce and market the device within the year. The fourth iteration of the line was announced in March 2020 with 11 or 12.9-inch Liquid Retina screen, up to 1 TB of internal memory and A12Z Bionic chip. It remains to be understood what the price of its successor will be: in all likelihood it will not be a cheap tablet, but considering the potential and the possibility of combining it with a physical mouse and keyboard, even the very definition of "tablet" begins to go narrow.
