The iPad Mini (2024) with an 8.3-inch display and Apple’s intelligence features was launched in India last week.

Apple’s new iPad mini model surfaced on the Geekbench website with the name iPad 16.2. The listing suggests iOS 18.0 operating system and 7.73GB of RAM, which can be translated to 8GB on paper. This is considered a significant upgrade from the iPad Mini 6 which has 4 GB RAM.
According to the listing, the iPad Mini scored 2,817 points in single-core testing and 6,982 points in multi-core testing. These scores are slightly lower than the Geekbench scores of the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max which are equipped with the Apple A17 Pro chipset. The iPhone 15 Pro Max scored 2,925 points in single-core testing and 7,299 points in multi-core testing. However, the iPad mini’s A17 Pro chip includes a five-core GPU, while the iPhone 15 Pro’s version of the chip is paired with a six-core GPU.
The iPad Mini (2024) is expected to offer better performance than the older iPad Mini 6. For comparison, the previous iPad mini with the A15 Bionic SoC scored around 2,100 points in the single-core test and 5,400 points in the multi-core test.
