Love: Both iPads are More Powerful Than Ever

If the screen isn’t that important to you, then the performance of both iPad’s M-series chips is the main selling point behind the new tablets. Essentially, the iPad Air has been brought up to the performance of the 2022 iPad Pro. That’s a pretty significant step up for anybody who is used to the old Bionic chip-based tablets.
We’ve put the M4 and M2 to the test on multiple benchmarks, and while the M4 came out on top in pretty much every CPU and graphics test, you’ll still get the most out of the new M4 with intensive tasks like rendering, where you can see strong improvements in the time it takes to render single images. For most everything else, the M2 will be more than serviceable.
