IGN: Apple Says the New iPad Pro Is as Powerful as an Xbox One S

For a buck, it still is. There are devices that are stronger but also more expensive.
it hasn't been for a little while, but lack of good well optimized content and price points kinda make Switch a good choice
Or do you want to spend at least $750 for an abysmal list of games?
iPad's not a console.
GPD Win's not a console.
iPhone 7's not a console. And no it's not under sustained load.

Those damn asterixes.. ;)
True, but the GPD WIn 2 is a portable gaming device. So it's as close as it gets to a console.
Sort of. It's like saying switch is just as powerful. It's very capable and has very modern tech and shader capability to close the gap, but it's gpu is not quite on the same level. Most games on iOS are not rendered anywhere near the native res of the display.
So it's safe to say it's at least more powerful than a Switch for gaming on the go? Of course it wouldn't have nintendo games and be limited to mac compatible games, but it's an option I guess, though I doubt it would match the xbox one s performance wise.
Lets talk about thermals and if this thing will turn into a baking pan.
Also mobile software has been advancing day by day, I don't see why the iPad can't adopt a Dock setup paired with a controller to bring more consolesque experiences
The bezel-less is really beautiful though. I still love the 10.5 in as well.

The iPhone 7 is just as much as a console as the switch is. You can dock an iPhone to a TV.
Well... doesn't matter. Even if its PC like and robust in specs, the closed eco system makes IOS devices problematic - with a device like the ipad, all the more so. I'm leaning towards buying a surface. I hardly use my old ipad pro anymore - maybe I should sell it.
A games console? Closed box, game focused, not a PC. iOS devices come sort of close but they're really more multipurpose.
Oh okay, the live blog I was reading specifically called out Oddysey.
iPad batteries are no joke, people kid that you could run a house from them.
Realistically, a game like that could make the tablet last around 5 or 6 hours.
Even if it was, the fact that it's a tablet means it wouldn't be able to output the kinds of games the Xbone or PS4 can because of power draw and thermals.
Is this going to be one of those threads where people complain because they perceive the claim as an assault on the purity of their hobby, or to talk about how neat it is that Apple in just a few years has designed a rather formidable and competitive GPU and CPU?
We will have to wait to test it to see if it really lives up to the claim, but even if a bit short, it is truely impressive. When everyone is getting out of the CPU and GPU market due to the difficulty, they have been making incredible progress.

I'd like to see some more information on this because more powerful can mean a lot of things. On the other hand the basketball demo they showed was impressive.
They even touted the resolution being native to the ipad pro ('not upscaled' is what they said) and at 60 fps.
