The iPad Air is the 5th-generation of Apple’s popular tablet. Mashable gives an excellent demonstration of the improvements from the 1st-generation model, all the way up to the iPad Air, by comparing tasks on all five generations side-by-side.
Since Apple introduced the iPad in 2010, it’s been continually upping the ante on its processor. The very first iPad featured a custom-built A4 mobile CPU, which ran at 1 GHz. The iPad 2 got an upgrade to the more powerful A5 chip. It, too, was clocked at 1 GHz.
So, no great surprises, but it was fun to see the differences from the first iPad, all the way up to today’s iPad Air.
