Potential synthetic benchmark scores for the 2021 iPad Pro with M1 Apple Silicon have been produced based on Cupertino's claims of 50% faster CPU and 40% faster graphics. Such is the likely performance strength of the M1 iPad Pro that it could blast the future Snapdragon 888-powered Samsung Tab S8 out of the water.

Keep in mind that Samsung still is to show its chips with RDNA iGPU. Which is 3x faster than current one.
I'm so happy, that the new IPADs have the M1 chip. That's an long needed upgrade!
I use last years model and it's so slow in XCode and Finalcut ... ::)
Jokes aside:
Both tablets are fast.
Only difference: The IPad is not able to utilize the Speed.
I would be happy to change my A12Z with an SD 820 for an IPadOS upgrade. Or with a S7 if I was not tapped in the Apple ecosystem...
