New A17 Pro-powered iPad mini posts big performance leap in benchmarks

iPad mini (A17 Pro)

Apple on Tuesday introduced the new iPad mini, supercharged by the A17 Pro chip and Apple Intelligence, the easy-to-use personal intelligence system that understands personal context to deliver intelligence that is helpful and relevant while protecting user privacy. With a beloved ultraportable design, the new iPad mini is available in four gorgeous finishes, including a new blue and purple, and features the brilliant 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display.

Malcolm Owen for AppleInsider:

The initial benchmarks of the seventh-gen iPad mini have surfaced, with records revealing about a 30% increase in performance over its predecessor.

Searches in Geekbench 6’s results show that there is a considerable improvement when it comes to the use of the A17 Pro in the new iPad mini.

AppleInsider averaged a selection of results, and determined that the Geekbench single-core performance scored 2,801. For multi-core, it made it to 6,796.

These are both improvements compared to the iPad mini 6, which used the A15 Bionic. The seventh-gen model has seen a generational improvement of 32% for single-core performance, and 27% for multi-core testing.
