iPad 4th Generation vs 3rd Generation Speedtest & Gaming Performance (iPad 4 vs iPad 3)

2012-11-04
hey guys johnathan ear with t LD with a speed comparison test between the iPad 4th generation and the iPad 3rd generation which you probably couldn't tell difference just by looking at screens but if you got an eagle eye you can probably pick out the 30-pin connector reflection on the iPad located to the right I'm gonna go to start out with Geekbench and aside from the obvious a 6 X processor on the iPad 4 generation really the only difference is the Lightning port which really isn't going to give you any added functionality and an improved front-facing camera which really isn't a huge deal for most but as you can see the iPad 4th generation is tearing through this benchmark a lot faster and you can see it's just about finished and scores over 1700 while the iPad 3rd generation is still finishing up and as the iPad third generation finally finishes up you can see it scores less than half of the iPad 4 generation so there's definitely a difference there now as far as more of a real-world test as opposed to a synthetic benchmark we're going to go to load up plants vs. zombies HD see which loves it faster you can see the fortune jumps out to a little bit of a head start and as you look towards the bottom you can see that little rolling plant designates the loading time and you can see the iPad fortune is definitely moving much faster no overall boots up a lot quicker now in terms of gaming performance I have GL benchmark 2.5 running you can see the iPad 4 generation again jumps off to a quicker start this is a really really really long benchmark so I'm not going to make you guys sit through the entire thing but as far as the end result in terms of off screen performance which means the screen is turned off the iPad 4th generation absolutely obliterated the iPad 3rd generation but on the flip side in terms of actual on screen performance there was really only about a 7 frames per second difference and that is actually not anything that go sell your iPad 3 over and run to get the iPad 4th generation now for the Witte I mean Wi-Fi test you can see yet again the iPad 4th generation outperforms it not by much but it still does but that is to be expected there was about a 5 megabit per second difference on the download speeds but as far as uploads there really wasn't a difference so hopefully you guys can take this video and realize it is faster but I don't think it's anything like I said that you have to go run out and sell your iPad 3rd generation and absolutely get the iPad 4 generation right now now if you happen to be an iPad 2 owner as far as the 3rd gen iPad there really wasn't a whole lot aside from the Retina display as far as performance that made you want to upgrade but now there is actually a difference between that and the iPad for Generation so if you're looking to upgrade there's actually reason to or if you're just looking to pick up an iPad for the first time now there's never been a better time to get one now aside from that thank you guys for watching if you did enjoy it and you found it to be helpful make sure to go TLD style on that like button and you're feeling extra awesome maybe give it a favorite if you guys happen to miss my ipad mini unboxing I did it pretty in-depth one covering benchmarks the camera test and I think you guys will enjoy that so definitely check it out if you have not already feel free to subscribe so don't miss any future coverage and I will see you guys later
