The article also points out iPad 2018 being faster than iPhone 7/8/X. This is odd.

The article states that iPad 2018 uses A10X, but it actually use the A10.

Is there a mix up with one of the iPad Pros? I can see an A10X (which has more GPU cores) beating the other iPads.

Thats a good point. I mixed up the iPad Pro 2 with the 6th Gen iPad from 2018. The 2018 iPad just squeaked through my threshold for having enough data to be included here, so it's possible that this is just noise. I'll dig into the variance as more data comes in. The article is updated to reflect it. Thanks!

In the graph, did you forget to change the label from "iPad 6th Gen (Wifi)" to "iPad Pro (2017)"?

It may simply be that due to a bigger battery and better heat dissipation it can run faster/longer and thus come out ahead.

That said I think you’re right about there being a mixup. Perhaps they mean the 2017 iPad Pro 10.5 inch.
