Apple has raised the bar for professional tablets with the introduction of its new iPad Pro equipped with the revolutionary M5 chip, which promises to boost your productivity and creativity to unprecedented levels.
This launch, which comes in two sizes—11 and 13 inches—consolidates the iPad Pro as the best option for users looking to combine mobility with top-level power. Here we tell you everything you need to know about this technological beast.
Power of the M5 chip: a giant leap in performance
The heart of the new iPad Pro is the M5 chip, manufactured with advanced 3-nanometer technology, which incorporates a 10-core CPU with 4 high-performance cores and 6 energy-efficient cores, along with a 10-core GPU that includes a Neural Accelerator in each core. This translates to 30 percent faster graphics performance than the M4 chip and up to 3.5 times faster artificial intelligence (AI) performance, enabling everything from processing complex creative tasks to smoothly running language models and AI applications right on the device.
With a 16-core Neural Engine and 153GB/s unified memory bandwidth, iPad can handle much larger AI models locally—perfect for professionals working with video editing, 3D design, or fast AI applications without relying on the cloud.
iPad Pro M5 specifications: Leading design, display, and connectivity
The new iPad Pro maintains its ultralight and durable design, with two display options: an 11-inch or a 13-inch. Both feature Ultra Retina XDR OLED technology with brightness of up to 1600 nits, vibrant colors and an adaptable refresh rate of 120 Hz, ideal for enjoying everything from professional tasks to playing or watching videos at maximum quality.
In terms of connectivity, it takes a great leap forward by incorporating the N1 chip, which enables Wi-Fi 7, the latest wireless technology that guarantees ultra-fast speeds for transfers,streaming and remote work. For cellular versions, it integrates a C1X modem that improves mobile data speeds by up to 50% compared to the previous generation, while optimizing energy consumption.
In terms of memory and storage, Apple offers configurations starting at 12 GB of unified RAM and storage options that go up to 2 TB, designed for those who handle large files and multiple demanding applications simultaneously. In addition, it improves fast charging with a 40 W adapter that allows the battery to charge to 50% in just 30 minutes.
