@sumudu Of course he didn’t. If he had brought one, there would have been no rain. That’s how umbrellas work, they deter rain. Bring one with you, no rain. Fail to do so & you get wet.

2019 iPad Mini has the same RAM; GPU & CPU as the current 10.2 in iPad 8.
But the Mini scores higher in the Geekbench 5 multi-core CPU test. I put this down to having 60% of the screen area of the bigger unit.
A year ago I ran Geekbench 5 on my 5th gen iPad. A few days ago I did the same with my 8th gen iPad. Significant difference.

@matigo It is compared to the iPad 5. However, the iPad Mini has the same processor & RAM as the iPad 8 but a smaller display. So it was no surprise to see Geekbench 5 results at around 5% faster for the Mini.
Geekbench 5 says the Mini has a 2.49 GHz ARM processor against a 2.49 GHz Apple Silicon one in the iPad 8.
New iPad 8 has arrived. I set it up by holding it in close proximity to the old iPad 5. This worked until I got to the part where I have to get a circular pattern on the new one into frame on another circle on the old one using the camera. Essential Tremors prevented me from holding the old one steadily enough to capture the image. So I sat it on the desk with the camera facing the floor & gradually moved the new one into focus. Success!
All that remains to do now is add videos & music to it.
