Benefits using an iPad Pro with M4 Chip

Tips, Tutorials and Help
1

I have used Nomad with my M1 iPad with 8GB RAM from 2021.
Recently sold my iPad and will upgrade to an M4 soon.

But i am wondering, if there will be a huge difference between the version with 8GB and the 16 GB version. I know that the bigger one can handle nearly double the amount of polys in a scene…but will there be other performance advantages, too?

The surcharge of several hundred dollars for the little bit of RAM (and one more CPU core) is insane. I would only be prepared to pay it if there were tangible benfits.

Anyone who has the new M4 iPad and can tell something about it?

The biggest change/benefit is that it runs cooler, so doesn’t dim the screen as much. And the faster chip is great on extremely complex tasks like remeshing and that - but its not that big of a change. Stick to your M1 for some years still, there is not that much of a change.
