minus-squarekautau@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·edit-28 days agoThey have laptop level chips right now There is no more iPad, just pro, air, mini, and the newest air has an M2 chip, though it’s a bit handicapped with one less GPU core That being said, no, an M2 chip on an iPad Air is nowhere near dedicate GPU hardware like on these handhelds. https://gfxbench.com/device.jsp?benchmark=gfx50&D=Apple+iPad+Air+6th+Gen+(M2)&testgroup=overall As you said, maybe once you get into iPad Pro ranges with the M4 chip, but at that price point it’s way more.
