Apple has just launched the new iPad Air and iPad mini tablets, and it seems one of them may have already been tested on Geekbench. Apparently, the integrated A12 Bionic chip scored an incredibly high multi-core score of 11,607, putting it way beyond the reach of even the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 or the Exynos 9820 variants of Samsung's Galaxy S10+.

Except geekbench is just a number of random numbers.
You have to be completely brain-dead to judge performance by this irrelevant benchmark.
In terms of performance and build, it's pretty good value. It may even be better for a (limited) range of tasks than an ultrabook in the price range(with a keyboard added).
