The A12Z Bionic chip has an eight-core GPU and has an enhanced thermal architecture and tuned performance controllers to drive high-quality performance. The eight-core GPU combined with Apple’s Neural Engine makes apps run much faster than ever before.

The new iPad Pro system had a 12-megapixel wide camera for and a 10-megapixel Ultra Wide camera that zooms out 2x for capturing a wider field of view. The camera system also records in 4K video.

The iPad Pro has a new LiDAR Scanner, which is able to deliver better depth-sensing capabilities. With the LiDAR Scanner and improved cameras, it makes the iPad Pro one of the best devices for augmented reality devices.
