Do you have a source for this claim? Not saying it's wrong, I'd just appreciate seeing a real benchmark/power usage test.

- photojosh 9y agoFor the new A10x: From https://daringfireball.net/2017/06/the_2017_ipad_pros https://daringfireball.net/2017/06/the_2017_ipad_pros "the new iPad Pro holds its own against the MacBook Pro in single-core performance — around 3,900 on the Geekbench 4 benchmark for the iPad Pro vs. around 4,200–4,400 for the various configurations of 13- and 15-inch MacBook Pros.1 Multi-core performance has effectively doubled from the first generation of iPad Pro. That sort of year-over-year increase just doesn’t happen anymore, but here we are. The new iPad Pro gets a multi-core Geekbench 4 score of around 9200; the brand-new Core M3-based MacBook gets a multi-core score of around 6800." The battery in the 12.9" iPad Pro is 38.8 Wh, while the 12" MacBook is 39.71 Wh, so about the same. Apple quotes about 10 hours battery life when doing lighter tasks like web browsing. So it must be pretty close if not surpassing it now. Depends how much credibility you put on Geekbench.
