But rare doesn’t mean never, and earlier today, we reported on a seriously high profile leak from a Russian YouTuber. That showcased the M5 iPad Pro<\/a>, with an unboxing and some Geekbench testing.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Today, I’m digging a little more into the latter half, as those benchmarks tell us a lot about Apple’s next generation of processors. The video shows the M5 iPad<\/a> Pro tested against the current M4 iPad Pro<\/a> model of the same size, which is about as controlled a test subject as you could ask for.<\/p>\n You may like<\/p>\n First up was the CPU performance. That saw some fairly modest gains \u2013 about 10% in single-core and 15% in multi-core \u2013 which is certainly welcome, but unlikely to be the kind of thing you’d write home about. It’s the sort of generation-on-generation gain we’d come to expect these days.<\/p>\n \n (Image credit: Future)<\/p>\n Once we move into the GPU performance, however, we see a more marked change. There, a boost of around 35% should be much more noticeable in daily use.<\/p>\n It’s an upgrade which is especially pertinent for Apple’s gaming contingent. The brand has really pushed the envelope there in recent years, in a bid to escape previous stigma’s surrounding gaming using its devices.<\/p>\n With the processor expected to make an appearance in the next generation of iPads<\/a> and MacBooks<\/a>, there should be ample opportunity for users to get hands on with it. It’s also going to be a welcome spot of good news for the range, which had previously been touted as a last iterative update before the M6 processor arrives.<\/p>\n That’s said to make use of a 2nm chip architecture, which should make it a seismic shift in terms of efficiency.<\/p>\n![\"Apple](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/8mfwC4cUfJ5vMmCKVba9QJ.jpg\")
