Ask HN: What can you do with the processing power in an iPad Pro M4?

3 points by aelmeleegy 2y ago ↗ HN

Curious what folks are trying to do/invent/create with the iPad Pro M4. I was looking at the performance benchmarks for that device and they all look amazing, but what can you create with it?

Like is there a startup that can be started by utilizing that to do on-device processing of some kind? Besides some AI inference stuff that Apple talked about, what can you do?

Hella good music creation, with virtually unlimited tracks and exotic synths running in real time

That's neat but if I had a dime for every single time an industry-standard DAW or plugin lacked a modern iOS version I'd have enough money to buy Abbey Road Studios.

Ugh. You and me both.
