I performed a test of tech benchmarks — Geekbench 3 — on the device, and I got a single-processor performance score of 1,812 on the Air 2, and a multi-core score of 4,530. Don’t worry if those numbers are Greek to you. What they mean, technically, is that the iPad Air 2 is faster than any other iOS or Android device ever sold. It's about as fast as the Macs that Apple was selling as recently as 2011.
