iPad Pro can successfully replace a laptop? With regard to the range of options offered to the user, definitely not. When it comes to performance benchmarks do not give a clear answer to this question.

iPad Pro is the latest Apple tablet designed for more professional applications. Tim Cook in an interview with The Independent went, however, very far in zachwalaniu this gadget

“iPad Pro replaces many those notebooks and desktops. They will they use this equipment and come to the conclusion that they do not need anything more, except the phone. “

According to Cook laptops are probably obsolete because they can be replaced successfully by the tablet. But really so? Is the iPad Pro is so efficient? The key to finding an answer seem to be the benchmarks …

iPad Pro crushes the competition …

Pro iPad is a great device that uses a highly efficient system A9X SoC. On the web there are many opinions that it is faster than the older systems Haswell and even the latest Skylake. They were based on the results obtained in multi-platform benchmark Geek Bench 3, as well as browser-based benchmarks Mozilla Kraken and Google’s Octane 2.0. It seemed that we confirm that we are witnessing the near end x86 …

However, to properly test the capabilities of hardware worth remembering that the last two benchmarks are not the best solution here. We do not test for them using the CPU / SoC, but a set of browser + chip and system optimization. As far as on the iPad Pro we are dealing with a very strong engine optimized browser, whereas in the case of a PC already is not.

Geek Bench 3 is different. Its creators have tried to create a cross-platform tool, which as far as possible to try to isolate the CPU using algorithms to assess as accurately as possible its performance.

From the above graph shows that the single core test iPad Pro is just as fast as the latest Microsoft’s tablet – Surface Pro 4 – the Core i5 system. What’s more, the result is not much different from much more expensive top model laptop Surface Book system Core i7-6600U.

The test multi-core iPad Pro not quite that good, places it on a par with that uses the processor Haswell tablet, the Surface Pro 3 and giving way to noticeably Surface Pro 4 with the system Skylake. Why? It seems that the key factor to this effect may be managing resources Hyper-Threading Intel.
