1080p screen is also probably a tip off as a fake. Why would Apple go down in resolution, the iPad Mini 4 already has a higher resolution than that.

Leaked Benchmarks on GFX Trex 1080p Offscreen and comparisons:

iPad Play: 310 FPS

Nvidia Tegra X2: 180 FPS

Nvidia Tegra X1: 120 FPS

iPad Pro 2015:  160 FPS

Xbox One: 360 FPS

Ps4: 450 FPS

Wii U: 74 FPS

The GFX T-Rex benchmark ain't even compatible to Wii U and PS4. It is also an outdated GPU-benchmark using OpenGL ES 2.0.

Please stop making your own fake rumors with fake "leaks". 



Aren't these the same people who thought that mobile gaming would kill console gaming? Yeah, like having access to a ton of shovelware is comparable to having quality games.

The GFX T-Rex offscreen benchmark is always fixed for 1920x1080 resolution to give comparable results, no matter what native resolution the device uses.

But it ain't compatible to consoles yet, so the "leaked" results are fake.

Any link to this rumor of the iPad Play and its clickable onscreen buttons?

A supposedly developer "leaked" this on a not public forum today. I dont say its 100% safe or anything. I just checked google and couldnt find anything specific to be honest (have to admit hadnt checked before).

Here are some sources about some single informations I just found:

TFlops: http://forsythanalytics.tumblr.com/iphone7-gpu

Some general stuff: http://www.macworld.co.uk/news/ipad/ipad-pro-2-release-date-rumours-uk-ipad-pro-2-new-features-specs-price-3492180/

Some more general stuff: http://www.hngn.com/articles/209888/20161004/apple-ipad-pro-release-early-2017-along-with-ipad-pro-2-and-low-cost-ipad-models.htm

Couldnt find much more at the moment, i guess we will see more in the future if true.^^

yeah i dont know this is basically from a supposedly developer on a none public forum and I just checked google for Ipad play and couldnt find anything really specific about it (just some information that were similar, look at my prev post).

Maybe the rumour in the general is real but some specs are wrong? Maybe its just a prototype? maybe its just fake^^

Maybe they used 1080p to lower costs and because they want AAA games that cant run at higher res on the hardware?

 

Ill add my "source" in the OP.

Same. Most of the games on the App star aren't even worth your time.



The Appstore will never function as a AAA gaming platform.



Yuck. I'm sure it will be a fantastic platform for mostly crap. It's funny. You can say this here without fear of reprisal. Because it's so true. Nobody's feathers will get ruffled. Hey! It's the new half-assed, digital-only, buttonless gaming entry from Apple. Your sixth best option is HERE!
