先週、AppleはiPad Air 5を発表し、衝撃的なほどパワフルなアップグレードで購入者を驚かせました。
このミッドレンジのiPadは、2021年のiPad ProやいくつかのMacと同じM1システムオンチップ（SoC）を搭載しています。
ベンチマークは、AppleがiPad Air 5でM1 SoCに変更を加えなかったことを明らかにし、ミッドレンジのAndroidタブレットは、その性能に匹敵しないという考えを支持した 。
しかし、新たな展開として、iPad Air 5はGoogleにとってだけでなく、SamsungのGalaxy Tab S8フラッグシップタブレットにとっても大きな頭痛の種であることが示されています。
Galaxy Tab S8シリーズは、iPad Proに代わる最良のAndroidタブレットと言えます。
しかし、3つのGalaxy Tab S8バージョンはすべて、Galaxy S22と同じアプリのスロットリング問題に悩まされています。

iPad AirとiPad Proの違いは何ですか？
新しいiPad Air 5は、10.9インチディスプレイ、M1 SoC、64GBのストレージ、8GBのRAMを搭載し、すべて599ドルで提供されます。
これらは、ほとんどのタブレットユーザーのニーズを満たす、iPad Air 5の基本スペックです。
11インチのiPad Proは799ドルからです。
200ドルの値上げにより、ストレージが2倍になり、ProMotionに対応したより大きくて明るいスクリーン、背面の2つ目のウルトラワイドカメラとLiDARセンサー、Touch IDに代わるFace ID認証が追加されています。
Galaxy Tab S8タブレットは、どれもiPad Proのライバルになるはずです。
一番安いモデルで700ドルから 。
プラスはさらに200ドル、ウルトラはさらに200ドル上乗せする必要があります。
S8の最高値は1,100ドルです。
サムスンのフラッグシップ・タブレットは、8GBのRAMと128GBのストレージを備え、有機ELスクリーンを搭載しています。
ベースモデルは11インチディスプレイで、iPad Air 5とほぼ同じ大きさです。
Galaxy Tab S8は全モデルで同じSnapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoCを搭載していますが、これはM1対抗ではなく、A15 Bionicの代替品となるものです。
スロットリングの問題がないとしても、新しいSnapdragonは、M1と同じリーグでプレイしていません。
Last week, Apple unveiled the iPad Air 5 tablet , surprising buyers with a shockingly powerful upgrade. The mid-range iPad has the same M1 System-on-Chip (SoC) as the 2021 iPad Pro and several Macs. Benchmarks revealed Apple did not make changes to the M1 SoC in the iPad Air 5, supporting the idea that mid-range Android tablets can’t match its performance . But a new development indicates the iPad Air 5 is not just a big headache for Google, but also for Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S8 flagship tablet.
The Galaxy Tab S8 series represents the best possible Android alternative to the iPad Pro. But the three Galaxy Tab S8 versions all suffer from the same app throttling problem as the Galaxy S22.
What is the difference between the iPad Air and the iPad Pro?
With the new iPad Air 5, you get a 10.9-inch display, the M1 SoC , 64GB of storage, and 8GB of RAM all for $599. These are the base iPad Air 5 specs that will satisfy the needs of most tablet users.
The 11-inch iPad Pro starts at $799. The $200 price bump gets you double the storage, a slightly larger and brighter screen that comes with ProMotion support, a second ultra-wide camera and LiDAR sensor on the back, and Face ID authentication instead of Touch ID.
The Galaxy Tab S8 tablets are all supposed to be iPad Pro rivals. The cheapest model starts at $700 . You’ll have to pay $200 more for the Plus and then another $200 on top of that for the Ultra. You read that properly — the S8 tops out at $1,100.
Samsung’s flagship tablets start with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage and feature OLED screens. The base model has an 11-inch display, which means it’s about as big as the iPad Air 5.
All Galaxy Tab S8 models feature the same Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC, which is an A15 Bionic alternative, not an M1 competitor. And the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 can’t even outperform the iPhone 13 chip in benchmarks or real-life tests .
Even without the throttling issues, the new Snapdragon doesn’t play in the same league as the M1.

Samsung’s app throttling controversy
Samsung preloaded an app on various Android devices that can reduce the performance of thousands of apps. It’s called Game Optimization Service or GOS, and it’s supposed to mainly impact games. Unfortunately, it impacts thousands of apps that shouldn’t be affected.
GOS reduces performance to prevent overheating on the Galaxy S22 and other phones. This prevents battery drain, as the CPU speed is lowered.
Also of note, GOS throttles both the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and Exynos 2200. These are the two SoCs that power the Galaxy S22 series line.
The Galaxy Tab S8 suffers from the same problem, even though the tablets are much larger than Galaxy S22 phones. In theory, Samsung could have significantly improved the three tablets’ cooling system. And all of them feature much larger batteries, so battery life worries aren’t as serious. Yet GOS is very much enabled.
Having the best Android flagship tablet throttle performance is an absolute nightmare, especially when the iPad Air 5 delivers iPad Pro performance . And the new iPad Air is $100 cheaper than the most affordable Galaxy Tab S8.
Samsung issued a fix for the Galaxy S22 in some regions, allowing users to bypass GOS throttling. Moreover, Samsung apologized to shareholders this week , indicating how important this Galaxy S22 controversy is. But it’s unclear when the Galaxy Tab S8 fix will roll out.

Galaxy Tab S8 line excluded from Geekbench 5
News that Apple hasn’t modified M1 performance for the iPad Air 5 has to be a devastating blow for Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S8 ambitions. Especially since the new iPad Air dropped at the same time as news that the Galaxy Tab S8 suffers from the infamous app throttling issue.
What’s worse is that the Galaxy Tab S8 tablets will suffer the same fate as the Galaxy S22 phones when it comes to benchmarks. Android Police reports that Geekbench will delist the S8 series from its website for cheating. The blog was able to verify that the Galaxy Tab S8 tablets throttle the performance of resource-intensive apps, but it does not throttle benchmark test apps.
That’s a humiliating start for the Galaxy Tab S8 that indicates the iPad Pro is still the best “Pro” tablet choice in town. Or the iPad Air 5, if you’re on a tighter budget.

サムスンはGalaxy Unpacked 2022でGalaxy Tab S8シリーズを公開した。
サムスンによるアプリのスロットリング論争
サムスンは、数千のアプリのパフォーマンスを低下させることができるアプリを様々なAndroidデバイスにプリロードしています。
これはGame Optimization ServiceまたはGOSと呼ばれ、主にゲームに影響を与えるものとされています。
残念ながら、影響を受けるはずのない何千ものアプリに影響を及ぼします。
GOSは、Galaxy S22やその他の携帯電話の過熱を防ぐために、パフォーマンスを低下させる。
CPUの速度が低下するため、バッテリーの消耗を防ぐことができます。
また、注目すべきは、GOSがSnapdragon 8 Gen 1とExynos 2200の両方をスロットルしていることです。
この2つのSoCは、Galaxy S22シリーズのラインアップを支えているものです。
Galaxy Tab S8は、タブレットがGalaxy S22携帯電話よりはるかに大きいにもかかわらず、同じ問題に悩まされています。
理論的には、サムスンは3つのタブレットの冷却システムを大幅に改善することができたはずです。
そして、いずれもはるかに大きなバッテリーを搭載しているので、バッテリーライフの心配はそれほど深刻ではない。
しかし、GOSは非常に有効です。
最高のAndroidフラッグシップタブレットスロットル性能を持つことは絶対的な悪夢であり、特にiPad Air 5はiPad Proのパフォーマンスを提供するとき 。
そして、新しいiPad Airは、最も手頃な価格のGalaxy Tab S8よりも100ドル安いのです。
サムスンは、一部の地域でギャラクシーS22の修正を発行し、ユーザーはGOSスロットルをバイパスすることができます。
さらに、サムスンは今週、株主に謝罪した 、このGalaxy S22の論争がいかに重要であるかを示している。
しかし、Galaxy Tab S8の修正がいつロールアウトされるかは不明です。
