The iPad Pro is without question faster than the new one-port MacBook or the latest MacBook Airs. I’ve looked at several of my favorite benchmarks — Geekbench 3, Mozilla’s Kraken, and Google’s Octane 2 — and the iPad Pro is a race car. It’s only a hair slower than my year-old 13-inch MacBook Pro in single-core measurements. Graphics-wise, testing with GFXBench, it blows my MacBook Pro away. A one-year-old maxed-out MacBook Pro, rivaled by an iPad in performance benchmarks. Just think about that. According to Geekbench’s online results, the iPad Pro is faster in single-core testing than Microsoft’s new Surface Pro 4 with a Core-i5 processor. The Core-i7 version of the Surface Pro 4 isn’t shipping until December — that model will almost certainly test faster than the iPad Pro. But that’s a $1599 machine with an Intel x86 CPU. The iPad Pro starts at $799 and runs an ARM CPU — Apple’s A9X. There is no more trade-off. You don’t have to choose between the performance of x86 and the battery life of ARM.

RIP intel

can i run xcode on the ipad yet?

While the iPad Pro mixes together a tablet, keyboard, and stylus like Microsoft pioneered with its Surface lineup and tablet PCs, Cook isn't a fan of the latest Surface Book.

"It's a product that tries too hard to do too much," said Cook, during an appearance at an Irish college this morning. "It's trying to be a tablet and a notebook and it really succeeds at being neither. It's sort of deluded."

yeah really damning, jeez tim take it easy!!!

the money isn't in desktops and hasn't been for almost a decade now. Intel has tried so many times to get into the smartphone market and they clearly aren't going to gain any ground with that tactic. If the company buying some of your highest margin consumer parts(Iris Pro i5/i7) suddenly stops needing them their bottom line is going to hurt.
