The new A10X Fusion chip implemented by Apple in the iPad Pro 10.5 inch is equal in performance to the Intel i5-6400T processor, according to a new test. Below you can see the result of a performance test between iPad Pro 10.5 inch and an iMac, and the A10X Fusion chip has almost the same single-core processing power as the Intel i5-6400T processor.
Although in the multi-core test the Intel i5-6400T processor performs better than the A10X Fusion, but this is because it has an extra core compared to the Apple processor. If the new A10X Fusion chip had a processor with 4 real cores instead of 3 and 6 threads, then the multi-core performance would be at least equal to that of the Intel i5-6400T processor.
If we're being completely honest, the processing power of the new A10X Fusion chip is absolutely amazing, because matching an Intel i5-6400T processor is something hard to believe for many. I think no one expected the new A10X Fusion chip to have as much processing power as an Intel i5-6400T processor, so Apple deserves credit for that.
If the new A10X Fusion chip has so much processing power compared to an Intel i5-6400T processor, then the upcoming A11 chip for the iPhone 8 could be just as powerful. The Apple company will increase the performance of the iPhone 8 with a new A11 chip in the fall, and the A10X Fusion gives us the opportunity to see for the first time what we will have then in the new smartphone.
