Benchmarks for the new M4 iPad Pro models have appeared on Geekbench, giving us an idea of how much faster Apple’s second-generation 3nm chips are compared to the M3, M2 and other previous-generation Apple silicon chips.
The 10-core variant of the M4 chip earned an average single-core score of 3,695 and an average multi-core score of 14,550 in 10 benchmarks. When it comes to single-core performance, the M4 is faster than the M3 Max MacBook Pro and comparable to the M2 Max in multi-core performance.
For context, here are the single-core and multi-core results of previous chips (all max CPU/GPU variants):
- M4 – 3,695/14,550
- A17 Pro – 2,908/7,234
- M2 – 2,540/9,360
- M2 Pro – 2,651/14,295
- M2 Max – 2802/14800
- M1 – 2,272/8,208
- M3 – 3,087/11,702
- M3 Pro – 3,112/15,286
- M3 Max – 3,128/20,957
Compared to the M2 in the previous version of the iPad Pro, the M4 is 46 percent faster when it comes to single-core performance and 55 percent faster when it comes to multi-core performance. Apple doesn’t use M3 in the iPad, but it’s up to 24 percent faster than M3.
Apple said the M4 delivers up to 1.5x faster processor performance than the M2 in the previous generation iPad Pro, which is accurate based on the benchmarks we’ve seen so far.
Apple plans to introduce the M4 family of chips to all of its products in 2024 and 2025, with the first M4 Macs planned for later this year.
