Apple's latest iPad mini, featuring the A17 Pro chip also found in the iPhone 15 Pro range, can run Final Cut Pro, Apple's professional video editing software. Apple's App Store listing was quietly updated to add support for the A17 Pro chipthe new iPad mini is the only iPad to use that chip, as the higher-range iPads use Apple's M-series chips.

The A17 Pro has a 6-core CPU, a 5-core GPU, and a 16-core NPU (neural processing unit). The GPU adds features like dynamic caching, hardware-accelerated ray-tracing, and mesh shading. Apple claims that the A17 Pro offers 30 percent better CPU performance, 25 percent better GPU performance, and 100 percent better NPU performance than the A15.
