iPad Pro iPad 5th gen to iPad Pro 11 2020 - worthwhile upgrade?

[MacRy]

I’m thinking of upgrading to a Pro from my 5th gen. would I see a significant performance increase?

 

[Thoradin]

I would imagine so.
From an A9 to A12Z and 2gb RAM to 6gb.
That’s a big increase in performance, not to mention pencil and magic keyboard compatibility which makes a huge usability difference.

There's significant increase in raw performance of the chipsets. Whether it's actually noticeable depends on the individual and their usage.

Playing games or media editing/creation, then yes. Should be a big jump. Reading books? Not really...

I upgraded from the 6th gen iPad from 2018 and it’s massive jump. I’d imagine it’d be even bigger going from a 5th gen.

Well, what do you plan on using your iPad for?

Go for it, you will notice an improvement in the speed, larger drive, keyboard support, speakers, battery life, and screen quality. Even if you can't identify why you need to upgrade there is nothing wrong with doing it just because you want to.

For someone who has been accustomed to using a non-pro iPad, jumping to the new Air could be an option if 64 GB is sufficient.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I bought the Pro and it is soooooo much better than my old 5th gen. Definitely worth the upgrade.

Why upgrade to pro 11 2020? The air 4 is. Much better buy. I have had every iPad since it’s launch including all the iPad Pro models. I currently have iPad 6th gen
ipad Pro 9.7. iPad Pro 10.5. iPad Pro 11 first gen (2018). iPad Air 3

im skipping iPad Pro 2020 cause there is there wasn’t a significant processor upgrade despite the added 2gb ram to 6gb.

i will probably pickup iPad Air 4 during Black Friday sales. I got iPad Air 3 ($289) military store sale last November.

The difference between him and you is that you have a recent iPad Pro and he doesn't... well now he does.

In these days, 2GB RAM upgrade is better than 12.5% CPU performance upgrade
