Apple announced the iPad Air (2020) on September 15, but the tablet is still to go on sale. What is actually most likely a pre-manufacturing unit has built it to GeekBench, displaying us the effectiveness of the new A14 Bionic chipset, also to be highlighted in the impending iPhone.
The A14’s CPU provides mighty single-core performance – the 1583pts rating is around 18% bigger than what we have for the A13 in the Apple iPhone 11 Pro. Crucially, it can be also a way forward of the preliminary figures we have rumored for the upcoming year’s Snapdragon 875 (1159pts) and Exynos 1000 (1159pts).

Meanwhile, in the multi-core test, the A14-equipped device has posted a 4198 score which is about 20% higher than the iPhone 11 Pro’s results. That’s the ballpark of the next Exynos multi-core figure (4250pts) and slightly higher than the Snapdragon for 2021 (4090pts) – provided, once again, that the rumored numbers are correct.

The iPad Air for 2019 was powered by the same chipset as the then-current iPhone XS and benchmark scores ran very similar between the two. We expect that will be the case with the iPhone 12 this year too.
