The large camera bump behind is because the iPad Pro now has a 10-megapixel ultra wide camera to go along with its 12-megapixel wide camera, as well as a lidar scanner (more on the lidar scanner below). After all, it still is the most powerful chip in any phone or tablet.Īlso new is the camera setup. But who knows? Or maybe Apple is just really happy with the performance of the A12X. Word on the street is that they are working on iPads with mini-LED displays. Perhaps Apple is saving it for something bigger. Why is it not the A13X? That's a good question and one that I'm afraid I have no answer to.

In other words, it has the same number of CPU cores but one – just one – more GPU core than the A12X Bionic. According to Apple, the A12X Bionic has an 8-core CPU as well as an 8-core GPU. Based on the information out there and the benchmark results in the next page, it’s safe to say it’s based heavily on the A12X Bionic in the last-generation iPad Pro. It’s called the A12Z Bionic and it’s the first time Apple has ever put a “Z” suffix to their processor.

For a start, the processor is new, well, mostly.
