Apple is reported to add another iPad Pro model to the family, one that will feature a massive 14.1-inch display, with the tablet basically entering the notebook category with its screen size. However, one rumor claims that with the extra size, comes a massive specifications bump, with the bigger version said to feature the M3 Pro, offering potentially more CPU and GPU cores than the M3.
Larger iPad Pro to probably feature a more elaborate cooling solution to tame the thermals of the M3 Pro
The M3 is not even out yet, and Revegnus has published a tweet stating that the 14.1-inch iPad Pro is being tested with the M3 Pro. The tipster has not added another source link, suggesting that whatever information he received, it was through his own sources. With bigger tablets, you have more space to use a more capable cooling solution for better temperatures, but even then, Apple will refrain from using any fans inside the thin and portable iPad Pro.
This means whatever heat dissipation will happen, its reliability will depend on a large heatsink. Vapor chambers are the preferred solution here because of their cooling capabilities and the fact that they are prioritized for thinner products. While this cooler will add some bulk to the iPad Pro, it will be necessary, given that the M3 Pro is rumored to be found inside it. The regular M3 was earlier said to feature an 8-core CPU, just like the M1 and M2, so naturally, the M3 Pro will have more cores when officially announced.
The 14.1-inch iPad will have an M3 Pro.
Apple is crazy!!!
They are building a monster
iPadOS will also get a big update

While the following has not been confirmed, it is possible Apple limits the TDP of the M3 Pro while running in the bigger iPad Pro so as not to constrain the tablet thermally. The SoC running in the device could be slower than the version running in future MacBook Pro models, but that may be the whole point of the launch. As the smaller 11-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pro models get the M3, it makes sense for the bigger version to offer the best hardware the company has to offer for differentiation purposes, though we are not sure how Apple pulls this.
The M3 Pro could also allow the 14.1-inch iPad Pro to support multiple ultra-high-resolution displays for users to extend their workspace while also running a modified version of iPadOS 17 to accommodate its larger display. Unfortunately, until Apple officially announces the product, we cannot confirm this hardware change, so remember to treat it with a pinch of salt, and we will be back with more updates.
