"The company says the device is designed to be faster, thanks to an updated neural engine and more memory, making it better for AI uses. This Air is said to be 30% faster than the M3 iPad Air and 2.3x faster than the M1 version."
"The iPad Air now has an 8-core CPU and a 9-core GPU, which makes it a decent choice for gaming or image and photo editing. Meanwhile, the device's unified memory has increased by 50% to 12GB, and the memory bandwidth is now up to 120GB/s, which Apple says will help users run AI models faster than on older devices."
"The 16-core Neural Engine is also supposed to be 3x faster than the one in the M1, which helps with running on-device AI models. The refreshed Air brings support for Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6, and is powered by the company's new connectivity chips for wireless and cellular, the N1 and C1X."
