The A14 Air just came out and has a brand new CPU. The Pros have much fancier displays, lower pen latency, etc. Subjectively, in most typical use, the Pros already feel like they have more available cycles than iOS apps have got around to soaking up.

Thanks, that makes sense - I didn't realise there was no Pro line on the newest chips yet. It'll be interesting to see how the next iPad Pros compare to these M1 Macbooks.

The iPad Pros never even used the A13 series - they're still back on A12 (though with some variants & binning), so understandable that it could be a fairly big jump

This is about the new line of Macs and the M1 chip in them, not iPads

My comment also mentioned the part of the article that mentioned the A14 iPad Air being the best performing iOS device - I wasn't sure why that was the case.
