Apple iPad 8 officially released and comes with A12 Bionic chip

After updating the Apple Watch series of this generation, Tim Cook set his sights on the iPad series. The real highlight of the 8th generation iPad is Apple Pencil support, which together with iPad OS 14 provides users with a better experience.

It is worth mentioning that although this generation of iPad has brought great improvements, the price still starts from 329 USD, the education discount is 299 USD. Like other products, it will be officially on sale this Friday.NNS understand that iPad 8 also supports full-size smart keyboards and other existing third-party keyboards and supports the connection of Bluetooth-enabled Xbox wireless controllers, PlayStation DualShock controllers, or MFi-certified game controllers.

I believe all friends will not be too unfamiliar with the A12 Bionic chip on the iPad 8. It was first released in the iPhone Xs series and iPhone XR. It was the industry’s first 7nm chip that year and contained a six-core CPU, a quad-core GPU, compared with the previous generation chip to achieve a 40% CPU improvement and 2 times the GPU performance improvement.

Although the improvement of this generation of iPad compared to iPad Air is not so exaggerated, the upgrade of the chip from the A10 chip to the A12 bionic chip is already surprising enough.
