Though Apple mistakenly listed the M2 chip in the iPad Air as having a 10-core GPU instead of a 9-core GPU, the performance claims that it

The correction from Apple comes after a report from 9to5Mac revealed that the company had quietly changed the core count for its new M2 iPad Air from 10 cores to nine on the page outlining the product’s specs.

Over the weekend, 9to5Mac reported something that felt a little fishy at the start. Apple's website was altered to claim that the new M2 iPad Air only had 9 cores in its GPU, rather than the 10 Apple had been advertising. In a follow-up report, Apple confirmed to 9to5Mac that it wasn't a case of false advertising — it was just a typo.

Apple has quietly updated its website to reflect that the iPad Air M2 actually packs a 9-core GPU, not a 10-core one.

The new iPad Air has one less graphics core than expected — you're unlikely to miss it, but the accident sets a dangerous precedent.

Apple has made a ‘rare’ slip. The M2 based iPad Air, which was previously advertised to have a 10-core GPU, in fact has only nine cores. What this means is that the new sixth-generation iPad Air has a slightly less powerful GPU compared to what was advertised at launch.
