Well the iPad Pro is 2-3x stronger than last gen, and about half as strong as X1.  So yes anything on X1 in 900p should run on the iPad in 540-720p just fine!  Would be an amazing and game changing development honestly.

To be precise (Apple info) A9X is 1.8x CPU and 2x GPU of A8X (which is in Air 2). Half of XOne is bit too optimistic, more like 1/3 (XOne GPU doesn't really have memory bandwidth problem once devs have learned around ESRAM) - which is still fine for 720p with lower settings.

ESRAM will always be a major bottleneck no matter what.  It is only 32MB, and a 1080p buffer takes double that space to have any amount of detail on screen.  

But again:  8.000 GB vs 0.032 GB.  Yeah I know which one matters more.
