iPad Pro So glad I got 16GB of RAM. Everything is snappier never closing any Aps.

A better processor and other enhancements sooner is better than than just a ram upgrade now for trying to future proof. Especially dont need the storage or real need for the ram now.

Exactly… to me this year oled screen and processor are worth the update alone (maybe only the screen could justify this). Imagine being stuck in a 3-4 year old model (I usually keep the ipad muuuch longer, it’s an example based on what i’m reading here regarding update forecasts) because one invested in more RAM a that time..

I mean, RAM is a big deal, but i think you should consider how much you need now and in 2-3 years max, considering the huge gap in price that would cover 60-70% price of a future update

This is a chart crime

That test (Metal) doesn’t touch the extra CPU core. It’s GPU-only, and both chips have the same GPU.

Nope. I am tired of all the ads in YouTube.

There's a free fix for that (from what I read): Brave Browser.

on the one hand, mostly within a margin of error of each other. but also, since the 10 core cpu version does also have more ram, and i assume the m4 ipad ram is unified like macs, so in theory there could be a meaningful difference in gpu performance depending on the scenario being stress tested 🤷‍♂️
