The M5 iPad Pro, which has not yet been officially released, is suspected to have appeared in advance, and the source of the news points to a YouTuber that had leaked the M4 MacBook Pro last year. With the latest Geekbench test data, the M5 chip will bring a performance improvement of up to 35% in terms of GPU, becoming the biggest highlight of this upgrade.

Compared with last year's M4 chips, M5 only has a single core of about 10-12% and a multi-core of about 15% growth in the CPU segment, which is considered stable but not surprising. However, in GPU testing, the efficiency improvement is as high as 35%, especially in graphics-intensive applications such as games, and the pre-production can bring significant physical experience.
Tim Millet, Vice President of Apple Platform Architecture, recently pointed out that Apple GPUs can use AI computing to image processing and game rendering through neural accelerators, improving picture quality and efficiency. The M5 chip is the same architecture as the A19 Pro, which is equipped with the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone Air, so it is not surprising that the GPU is in.
The M5 iPad Pro leaked this time is a 256GB model with 12GB RAM, which is a significant improvement compared to the 8GB of the same-grade model of the M4. According to outsiders, Apple is likely to provide 16GB or more memory in high-capacity versions, continuing last year's product configuration strategy.
M5's performance upgrade is not only beneficial to the iPad Pro, but will also extend to the future M5 MacBook Air and MacBook Pro, helping to strengthen Apple's competitiveness in the high-performance laptop and tablet market.
As the release schedule of new products at the end of the year approaches, the actual performance and power consumption of M5 chips will become one of the most concerned topics of the outside world.
