MyGeekScore: The Apple iPad Pro (M5) retains the same sleek design seen in its predecessor, comes with an 11-inch and a 13-inch option, and is offered in Silver and Space Black finishes. Other than maintaining the visual continuity for the end user, the 2025 model gets several internal upgrades that push up performance to another notch. The display still remains Apple’s “Ultra Retina XDR” tandem OLED panel, supporting ProMotion up to 120 Hz and hence the best for visual delight while drawing, viewing videos, or multitasking.

Chipset Upgrade: M5 Delivers Noticeable Performance Improvements

This is a massive headway from M4 based on the M5 chip. M5 has a 10-core GPU, a 16-core Neural Engine, and nearly 153 GB/s memory bandwidth when the M4 has only 120 GB/s.
Early benchmark leaks suggest that the M5 model might have single-core Geekbench scores above 4,000, thereby not just beating the M4 but some desktop chips in recent times as well.

For anyone drawing, editing video, compiling code, or using on-device AI tools, this translates to smoother performance and greater future-proofing.

Real-World Use: Workflow, Multitasking, And Creativity

Practically, both M4 and M5 iPad Pros appear extraordinarily capable, with the M5 tipping the scales for truly demanding uses. Higher memory bandwidth with greater GPU/Neural Engine combo is able to make ProRes video editing, 3D rendering, and interfacing with external display (4K/120 Hz) kind of responsive. The M5 has opened an entirely new usability domain with support for newer connectivity standards like Wi-Fi 7 and Thunderbolt/USB4.
Nevertheless, for everyday tasks like note-making, ammo, and casual gaming, this difference may have gone all but unnoticed.

Storage, Memory and Value Considerations

With the M5 generation, Apple still offers several storage tiers ranging from 256 GB all the way to 2 TB. While the chip upgrade is colossal, other components (like RAM configuration and storage capacity) may matter more in their actual use to someone than raw chip speed. For users, the M4 was quite a powerhouse, so for so many tied to lighter workflows, the M4 could still be seen as a great value proposition.

Who Should Upgrade, And Who Should Wait

If you are a creative professional, developer, or power user pushing the performance limits of your iPad Pro level-and want to have the latest chip, connectivity, and readiness for future apps-the M5 is a worthy upgrade. The other side of the coin is for anyone with an M4 iPad Pro with lighting workflows (note-taking, drawing, streaming, productivity); the M4 should still serve.

In short: same shell, new superpowers. The M5 has the power to attract intense consideration from anyone demanding only the best. So M5 beginning with a sale offers good pathways in performance, connectivity, and future-proofing.
