I'm not sure where you are getting your 1/3 numbers from as the M2 in the iPad scores pretty close in benchmarks to the M2 in the 13" macbook pro. [1] vs [2].

I'm not sure where you are getting your 1/3 numbers from as the M2 in the iPad scores pretty close in benchmarks to the M2 in the 13" macbook pro. [1] vs [2]. It's not a family. It's the exact same physical chip. You can also check Apple's technical specs too. They are both listed as "8-core CPU with four performance cores and four efficiency cores". The only real difference between the ipad, macbook air and 13" macbook pro is the cooling solution. The ipad is fanless and the macbook pro has a fan. If you had a longer-running benchmark, or a sustained workload you would see a larger difference, but not that large.
