so I think it was an old Stockfish and not the super fast Stockfish 8 or a current development version, which should be much faster than only 4300 kn/s.
There is no reason to suspect that a current version of Stockfish will give a higher n/s than an older version. If more knowledge is imparted to an engine then it is conceivable that a new version could have lower n/s. I know that early forms of dedicated chess computers had this problem.
Maybe some developers from Stockfish can answer this question.
But why the new development version has much more kn/s than the 3 years old version on my home computer?
Same should happen on the ipad pro 2.

The true Battery life of the iPad Pro 2 from 100% tested with Stockfish app:
0 minutes = 100%.
After 45 minutes analysis of the opening it reached 80%.
So it should be after:
90 minutes = 60%
135 minutes = 40%
180 minutes = 20%
225 minutes = 0%

= Only 3 hours and 45 minutes for chess analysis.

How many cores can the Stockfish app detect and use?

For example SmallFish can use up to 5 cores,
but I'm not sure which one of the 6 iPad Pro 2 cores he has detected and used.

And maybe he will be faster by only using the power cores and not the battery saver cores.

The SmallFish syzygy endgame tb doesn't work under iPad Pro 2.
Can someone confirm?
I see the installed tablebase in the SmallFish options but they aren't in use in endgames.

I have an iPad Pro 2 12.9 with 256 GB. The syzygy tables work fine for me in SmallFish.

I set up a k vs. kbn endgame, and hit "move". The analysis showed "tb" along with a move.
