iPad mini 4 processor and memory confirmed: really good!

The iPad mini 4 is the most low-key of the bunch of new products . It only got less than a minute at the press conference. But in fact, it is quite conscientious, especially after the mediocre iPad mini 3. If you really like small tablets, you can indeed consider it.

Apple also said very little about the specific configuration of the iPad mini 4. Cook only mentioned that it is "equivalent to a smaller iPad Air 2." However, apart from the different screens, it is not a direct copy.

Geekbench 3 test results confirm that the iPad mini 2 is equipped with an A8 dual-core processor with a main frequency of 1.5GHz, which is a level lower than the three-core A8X in the iPad Air 2, but still faster than the iPhone 6/6 Plus A8 1.4GHz, and much faster than the iPad mini 2/3 A7 1.3GHz.

At the same time, the memory is 2GB, which is comparable to iPad Air 2, so it can finally support iOS 9 split-screen multitasking function.

The test results are also very surprising. Compared with the previous iPad mini 2/3, the single-thread and multi-thread performance of iPad mini 4 has increased by more than 25%, and is also slightly higher than iPhone 6.

For example, when compared with iPad Air 2, the single-thread performance is basically the same, but the multi-thread performance is obviously about 50% lower. This is easy to understand, as it has one less core.

Now, Apple has finally entered the 2GB memory era. This is the case with iPhone 6S, iPhone 6S Plus, and Apple TV, and iPad Pro has taken the lead in moving towards 4GB.
