iPad mini vs iPad 4 Speed Test!

2012-11-03
hey guys this is Austin and today I'm here with the speed test between the brand-new iPad Mini and full-sized iPad 4 with two very different screen sizes and internals let's take a look to see how the new iPad stack up my first test is Geekbench and that that measures the overall performance of everything from smartphones to PCs the iPad 4 is rockin and newer and more powerful Apple a6 chip which is clocked higher and has twice as much RAM as the iPad Mini which gives it a big advantage here with a final score of 1765 compared to 753 on the mini next up we have SunSpider which will give you a good idea of how each tablet will handle a complicated website using Safari this doesn't take into account the different screen sizes which definitely favors the iPad 4 for giving you more screen real estate to work with but the numbers don't lie here again the iPad smokes the mini being nearly twice as fast to test gaming performance I use geo benchmark which is a great way to test the graphical horsepower it runs to a complex Egypt scene which stress tests even the most powerful of tablets as you can see here this is really where the iPad 4 shines with its quad core graphics able to punch our awesome results even while pushing all the pixels on that Retina display the iPad Mini is no slouch here either with the results on par with most tablets out today to make things a bit fairer I took the screen size out of the equation and ran it again in the off screen mode the iPad 4 averaged 50 frames per second while the iPad Mini pulls in just 14 while on paper the iPad 4 is faster I'm practically always the iPad Mini does need less power to work with a smaller screen and of course you're paying quite a bit less if you're interested in winning an iPad Mini be sure to check out my giveaway here and if you enjoyed don't forget to hit that like button anyway I will catch you guys in the next one
