Which means that you will get 8GB of RAM. The “old” iPad Air combines an A14 Bionic chip with a neural engine, which is comparable to the M1 chip in its computing power. The only real benefit you will find on the latest iPad will be a dedicated GPU. Is it worth it when you do not play games on your iPad?
