iPhone & iPad Benchmarks > All iPad Air Benchmarks

Update Published March 26, 2026

Geekbench 2 through Geekbench 6 benchmark averages for all compatible iPad Air models are listed below (2013-Current).

EveryMac.com diligently has hand compiled -- and independently averaged -- these Geekbench benchmarks from aggregate user results submitted to Primate Labs for each iPad Air. This data is unique to the EveryMac.com website.

Generally, EveryMac.com has calculated averages within a few weeks of the release of each new device. Via a combination of our own custom algorithm for automated analysis and manual human review, benchmark results that are significant outliers, inaccurately tagged, or otherwise errant are omitted prior to calculating an average. For many models, EveryMac.com runs Geekbench software directly on one or more devices, too.

On compatible iPad Air models, the Geekbench 2 benchmark provides 32-bit performance using all processor cores; the Geekbench 3 benchmark provides 32-bit and 64-bit performance each with a single processor core and all processor cores; and the Geekbench 4, Geekbench 5, and Geekbench 6 benchmarks provide 64-bit performance with a single processor core and all processor cores. Higher numbers are better. Geekbench benchmarks cannot be compared across versions.

Geekbench benchmarks also are provided on EveryMac.com's specs pages for all Apple devices and within the Ultimate iComparison feature.
