The new iPad Mini 7 is powered by the A17 Pro chipset that debuted with the iPhone 15 Pro models last year, but the iPad has a slightly scaled-down version of the chip. In the iPhone 15 Pro models, the A17 Pro chip has a 6-core CPU and 6-core GPU, paired with 8GB of RAM. Things are similar in the tablet’s case: the iPad Mini also has 8GB of RAM to power its AI capabilities, but the specs suggest it has a version of the chip with fewer cores. Specifically, the A17 Pro chip in the iPad mini 7 has a 5-core GPU, one less than the iPhone 15 Pro.
