While the iPad Air 2 gets Apple’s latest silicon, the A8X, the iPad mini 3 uses the same 64-bit, 1.3GHz Apple A7 SoC found in the mini 2. The recurring theme here is that the mini 3’s biggest competition is the mini 2, and on the performance front, the mini 3 offers no advantage over its predecessor.
