The iPad mini (A17 Pro) achieves Geekbench CPU and GPU scores similar to the iPhone 15 Pro line which uses the same chipset.
The new iPad mini (A17 Pro) can be pre-ordered now with a release date scheduled for October 23rd. As we told you yesterday, Apple is equipping the tablet with a different variant of the 3nm A17 Pro application processor (AP) than the one that powers the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. Apple is going through the bins containing defective A17 Pro APs and is repurposing them by deactivating one of the six GPU cores.

The bottom line is that the GPU on the A17 Pro AP used on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max has six GPU cores. That compares to the five GPU cores on the A17 Pro AP.
