The next generation iPad (Apple’s entry level tablet) will pack an A17 Pro processor, says Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman.
“The new entry-level iPads — J481 and J482 — will get faster processors and Apple Intelligence,” he writes. “The current models have the A14 chip and 4 gigabytes of memory. Look for the new versions to have the A17 Pro chip, matching the iPad mini, and a bump to 8 gigabytes of memory. That’s the minimum needed to support the new AI platform.”
The A17 Pro delivers a huge performance boost for even the most demanding tasks, with a faster CPU and GPU, a 2x faster Neural Engine than the previous-generation iPad mini, and support for Apple Intelligence, according to Bob Borchers, Apple’s vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing.
