Apple has unveiled the next-generation iPad Pro, featuring the latest M5 chip, which delivers the highest speed and artificial intelligence-based performance of any iPad. The company claims the new M5 delivers up to 3.5 times faster AI performance than the M4 and up to 5.6 times faster than the M1.
The M5 chip includes a 10-core GPU with next-generation architecture and Neural Accelerator in each core, which significantly speeds up graphics and machine learning tasks. In addition, the 10-core CPU delivers record-breaking processing power, and third-generation ray tracing support makes iPad Pro ideal for designers, architects, and gamers.
iPad Pro now features the N1 chip for Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6 and Thread support, as well as the new C1X modem in cellular-enabled versions. The latter delivers up to 50 percent faster data transfer and 30 percent less power consumption.

For professionals, there’s a nano-textured glass option that reduces glare without sacrificing contrast.
