jkichline said: Think about that for a second... the A9X is FASTER than common Core i5 Intel processors. The A9X is not faster than a common Core i5. That's just ignorance talking, especially if you think mobile benchmarks are reason to beli…

AppleInsider said: At its core -- literally -- the Pro is simply speedier. It features an A9X processor, a leap over the A8X used in the Air 2. Apple claims that the chip's CPU performance is 1.8 times faster, and that graphics should be u…

liquidmark said: AI2xxx said: GFXBench is a mess for Intel and x86 in general. It uses OpenGL for Windows devices as well, stay very clear of that (also Manhattan Offscreen says 86.5 FPS, Manhattan 3.1 says 34.1 FPS). To make things …

thewhitefalcon said: Part of the reason Apple hasn't jumped to Skylake is due to Intel still experiencing yield issues at 14nm, and in some cases they haven't released the higher end chips with Iris Pro yet. That being said, OS X Server now h…

It's worth mentioning that the A9X in the 9.7 inch iPad Pro has also been underclocked. This is understandable given the constraints of a smaller device, but it's enough of a reason to go with the 12.9 inch version if you desire the most powerful iP…

Better late than never. I wonder if we'll see Thunderbolt 3 in the next couple of years.
