<article> <section class="page"> <p>If you're familiar with Apple's popular and economical 7th-generation iPad (https://www.macworld.com/article/3442717/2019-102-inch-ipad-review.html) (introduced about a year ago), you already know what to expect from the 8th-generation model. As the new base-model iPad—available for preorder now and shipping Friday, September 18—the 8th-gen iPad is essentially just the 7th-gen model with an upgraded processor.</p><p>The 7th-gen model had an A10 processor, which offered very good performance for the price. The newly updated model features an A12, which is a big upgrade. First introduced in the iPhone XS (https://www.macworld.com/article/3309412/iphone-xs-and-iphone-xs-max-review.html), the A12 is much faster than the A10. Apple says it offers 40 percent faster CPU performance and double the graphics performance.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3575348/apples-new-2020-ipad-upgrades-the-processor-and-nothing-else.html#jump">To read this article in full, please click here[/url]</p></section></article> Source: Apple’s new 2020 iPad upgrades the processor and nothing else (https://www.macworld.com/article/3575348/apples-new-2020-ipad-upgrades-the-processor-and-nothing-else.html#tk.rss_all) |
