iPad Pro M5 slower than M4?
From the second half of the benchmark 3DMark Steel Nomad on my Ipad Pro M5 is running slower than with my previous Ipad Pro M4,
M5;
M4;
Else, like loading times are quicker on M5 Ipad Pro.
Chances are it's because the M5 is a "higher performance" processor than the M4. It runs faster and hotter than the M4. When the processor reaches a certain (high) temperature, it will throttle back / reduce it's clock speed to keep it within a certain operating temperature range as well as to protect itself. When this happens, performance will drop while the processor cools itself off.
