I Tested the M5 iPad Pro's Neural-Accelerated AI, and the Hype Is Real (macstories.net)

Someday, I'd like to meet the (presumably) singular Apple employee that demands a more powerful iPad get made every year. What is this guy doing, rizzing up Qwen while he plays Genshin Impact?

The value prop for this kind of device eludes me. Will be nice once the GPU tech reaches the Mac lineup, at least.

Reading the headline, I wasn’t sure if Apple had produced hardware that met the guys expectations, or were overstating their performance.

Given that it seems to be the former (at least in the tests run), perhaps “the hyped performance turned out to be real” might be less ambiguous…

Oh, and well done Apple, niwbget the M5 into Macs where this might be more useful…
