Which one of these are faster?

I want to get the Google Pixel C but the Apple iPad Pro is also attractive (Minus the huge price tag Apple puts on all of it's products).

The Google Pixel C has the Tegra X1, a great gaming mobile chip (I think it is a mobile chip).
The Apple iPad Pro has it's new A9X.

I dun know which one is faster.

Anandtech published a preview article for the iPad Pro:

I can say with complete certainty that the twister cores in the A9X will outperform the A57's in the X1. What's less clear at this point is how the GPU's compare, but based solely on the limited performance results in the Anandtech preview I think it's safe to say that it'll be close if anything. The series 7 GPU in the A9X looks to be a real powerhouse, on a similar performance level as the 256-core Maxwell GPU in the X1.

IOS vs Andriod is also a very important decision to consider, but that's a whole new bag of worms. If the question is simply raw performance, I would say it's not entirely clear right now...

From what I can tell, the A9X is faster, but not by very much. The iPad Pro also has more RAM, but for most people the 3GB in the Pixel C should be plenty. As you said, the iPad Pro is more expensive, but also by less than I expected.

I'd suggest choosing whichever one has the operating system you prefer. Personally I would choose the Pixel C, as I prefer Android to iOS.
