### M5 iPad Pro Leaks: Unboxing and Benchmark Insights
Last year, an unboxing video of the M4 MacBook Pro surfaced ahead of its official reveal, and it seems history is repeating itself. Russian YouTuber Wylsacom, recognized for leaking details about the MacBook Pro previously, has now released an unboxing of the yet-to-be-revealed M5 iPad Pro, offering an early look at its specs and performance benchmarks.
#### Design and Features
The M5 iPad Pro features a design almost identical to its predecessor, the M4 model. It boasts the same ultra-slim chassis and a single rear camera. However, there is speculation regarding the potential addition of dual front-facing cameras, as reported by Bloomberg, which could be part of this upgrade.
#### Performance of the M5 Chip
The benchmark findings seen in the unboxing video indicate that the M5 chip is outfitted with a 9-core CPU, similar to the M4 iPad Pro. In Geekbench evaluations, the M5 reveals a performance boost of about 10% in single-core operations and 15% in multi-core operations when compared to the M4. Moreover, the L2 cache has been enhanced from 4MB to 6MB.
The graphics capabilities are especially impressive, with Metal graphics indicating a substantial increase of 38% over the M4. In AnTuTu evaluations, the M5’s GPU surpasses the M4’s by roughly 8%.
#### RAM and Storage
The unboxing video showcases a 256GB variant of the M5 iPad Pro, which reportedly incorporates 12GB of RAM. This marks a significant increase, as the existing 256GB and 512GB versions of the M4 iPad Pro come with 8GB of RAM, while the larger 1TB and 2TB models include 16GB.
#### Software and Packaging
The M5 iPad Pro operates on iPadOS 26.0, as opposed to the anticipated iPadOS 26.0.1. Notably, the device lacks “iPad Pro” branding on its rear, and the packaging seems sleeker than previous iterations.
#### Anticipated Release
Apple is anticipated to officially unveil the M5 iPad Pro sometime in October. The leak raises inquiries about how this YouTuber has consistently succeeded in obtaining unreleased Apple items, particularly given that Apple does not retail its products in Russia.
For those curious, the complete unboxing video is accessible online, and viewers can switch on translated captions to keep up.
### Conclusion
The M5 iPad Pro appears poised to offer improved performance and features, enhancing the strengths of its predecessor. As the announcement date nears, excitement continues to build among Apple supporters and technology consumers alike.
