iPad Pro (2024) specifications.

This year, Apple equipped the iPad Pro (2024) with its latest 10-core M4 chip, making it the most powerful tablet the company has released to date — even the company’s MacBook Pro and MacBook Air models run on its M3 chips. The company says the M4 chip delivers the same performance as the M2 chip used in the iPad Pro (2022) model, while using only half the power. Apple also says the Neural Engine for the device’s AI tasks has been improved in the latest iPad Pro model.
