iPad mini with Retina Display

Now that the iPad mini with Retina Display has been released, I ran Geekbench 3 on both the original iPad mini and the new model.

The iPad mini with Retina Display has a 1.3GHz A7 CPU, slightly slower than the iPad Air's 1.4GHz chip. Both iPads have 1GB of memory.

Compared to the original iPad mini the new iPad mini performs amazingly.
