New iPad 2012: Performance Review (Speed that counts) – Part 2

Still, there’s no way to know for sure what improvements or lack of improvements to general performance there are without rolling up your sleeves, using a little elbow grease, hunkering down, and doing some testing.

Since I know how much you love things you can read, I’ve organized the results into an easily digestible chart. Check below the chart for explanations of what exactly these numbers mean. I ran the tests on the iPad 2 (Wi-Fi, 16GB) and the new iPad (4G, 32GB).

While tablet owners will rarely turn off their tablets, boot time is still a simple and easy way to gauge and compare overall speed. For this test, the exact same apps on both iPads were loaded, put in airplane mode, and powered them off. The timer started with the push of the power button and stopped as soon as the lock screen appeared. The new iPad surprisingly took 27 seconds whereas the iPad 2 took 14.

Two 30-second clips: one with each iPad’s front camera and one with each of their rear cameras. Exporting the front camera’s movie from each iPad to the camera roll at 720p and timing the process from the moment of tapping “HD – 720p” until the process completed took 26 sec on the new iPad and 32 sec on the iPad 2.
