I doubt it as CPU will be too slow, why does Xbox One X struggle to hit 60FPS with all that GPU power? 2018 iPad Pro is at least 3 times faster than Xbox One X CPU.
The next iPad will be able to handle next gen games like the Switch gets current gen games: infrequently and very cut down. That's more of a threat to Switch than anything else.
Price (and release timing) wise mobiles are closer to PCs than consoles.
Switch is quite weak, it is a heavily CPU downclocked early 2015 SoC released in 2017 which hurts third party games a lot. Even 2017 iPad Pro is three times the CPU and two times the GPU performance, 2018 iPad Pro is about five times the performance which is already a sizeable generation leap released in similar time frame long before even the latest Switch revision. Apple SoCs have been at the cutting edge for many years now in terms of architecture and process nodes, their CPU ARM cores rival the best Intel and AMD have already. Latest iPhone already outperforms Zen 2 in single core performance. Next-gen consoles will be targeting high resolutions and maybe ray tracing so next Apple product should be able to play games at 720p-1080p at similar framerates without too many compromises, should be over 2TF GPU power which is plenty given what the PS4 can achieve. The gameplay which is the main thing should be close to identical.
The big issues versus next-gen are thermal limits and power usage. iPad won't be able to compete there.
Well, yes, obviously but I'm talking about comparisons to PS5 and XSX.
I'd say compared to the Switch version it looks the same, but at 120fps vs 30. Kind of agree that it'd be nice to have higher detail at 60 though.
The budget 2018 iPad has the A8 CPU, which is the same of the iPhone 7, here we are talking about the iPad Pro with A12X cpu
iPad Pro's are now powerful enough for full And quick video editing of 4K footage. If she bought the 1TB storage version then she would also have the iPad Pro with 6GB RAM.
With the relationship between Google & Apple the way it currently is, it isn't possible to view on the Internet what the iPad Pro's 120Hz screen looks like at 120Hz or fps. Unless you record off-screen with a 120fps camera and upload through a different capable movie player that isn't YouTube.
I'm gonna hold off on grand pronouncements until we know what settings and resolution this runs at. 480p Vaseline mode at 120fps wouldn't really be the future of gaming
It's an iPad Pro. If you got the 12.9 inch version then that comes with a 10,875 mAh battery. Compared the the Switch which has a 4310 mAh battery.
Well that's the same problem as on PC then, if people want to be able to make use of the 120fps option they just have to get 120hz compatible screens. Anyway even if you can't see the 120fps because of your screen's limitation, you have other benefits of having more FPS other than that
Not the same SoC. iPad Pro 10.5" has an A10X, whereas the 11" (3rd gen) as a significantly more powerful A12X.
Lowered input latency, and you see the results of inputs sooner due to the refresh rate.
To my knowledge, tickrate doesn't affect client-side input latency.
