Discrepancy Between Advertised M2 Processor and Benchmark Results on My iPad

Hello,


I recently bought a used iPad with an M2 processor from an authorized Apple product reseller, iWant.cz. However, when I run a benchmark test, it shows that my device has an “ARM @ 3.47 GHz” processor, not the M2 chip. I consulted ChatGPT, and it confirmed that these are different processors.


Could you help clarify this discrepancy? I’d like to ensure that I have the correct model with the M2 processor.


Thank you


iPad Pro, iPadOS 18

MacTracker says that model ID 'iPad14,6" corresponds to the iPad Pro 12.9-inch (6th-generation) (Wi-Fi + Cellular) released in October 2022. This iPad has a M2 processor with 8 cores – 4 high-performance cores which run at 3.5 GHz, and 4 high-efficiency ones which run at 2.4 GHz. The M2 – like all Apple Silicon processors – is based on the ARM architecture.


Although the Geekbench 6 information is not complete, it is reasonably accurate.


ChatGPT is leading you astray.
