New benchmarks demonstrate the exceptional performance of the latest Apple M4 processor.

New benchmarks reveal just how powerful the new Apple M4 chip is

Recently published benchmark tests have revealed the impressive single-core processing power of the newly released Apple M4 processor, which outperforms even the most powerful CPUs on the market. According to Tom’s Hardware, iPad Pro models equipped with the M4 processor have emerged as new leaders in Geekbench 6 benchmark tests for CPU performance, outperforming the previously leading Intel Core i9-14900KS in single-core testing. The latest Apple chip achieved an impressive average score of around 3,800 points in the benchmark test, compared to an average of 3,100 for Team Blue’s processors.While multi-core performance may not be as impressive, it is a rare instance where mobile hardware matches or exceeds desktop performance. This can be attributed to the 10-core (4P + 6E) design of the M4 processor, which is supported by a 16-core GPU and a powerful neural engine with 38 TOPS.

According to Apple, the M4 chip is approximately 50% faster than the M2 processor used in the upcoming iPad Air, older MacBook, and iMac models released in 2022. The M4 silicon is said to have improved branch prediction capabilities, next-generation machine learning accelerators, and a more efficient execution engine.It is still early in the launch of the new iPad Pro range, which also includes what the company refers to as a “Tandem OLED” display, and appears to be pushing the design in new directions. Therefore, it is not yet possible to definitively state whether Apple’s tablet devices will outperform leading desktop models, although the early reports indicate promising results.

These positive figures can be attributed in part to the recently updated Neural Engine, the most advanced implementation of the technology so far on Apple’s silicon. Given that other manufacturers such as AMD and Intel are heavily investing in AI computing capabilities with their upcoming generations of CPUs, it is encouraging to see that Apple has made a significant contribution with its fourth generation in-house processor, which makes a notable impression.The advent of AI technology is just beginning, and the field of AI computing is still in its early stages, regardless of the form factor. Only time will tell how effectively iPad OS software can be optimized for the new M4 chipset and its more advanced neural engine. Meanwhile, AMD has entered the market with its upcoming Ryzen AI 9 HX 170 flagship, which features an NPU capable of up to 77 trillion operations per second (TOPS), according to recent reports from Asus.

Intel, on the other hand, has already made a presence known with its Core Ultra 100 series chips, as the Meteor Lake chips were unveiled in laptop devices last year. However, the true potential of the M4 processor will only be revealed when the field becomes leveled. Intel Arrow Lake is expected to be released later this year, and it may further widen the gap between Team Red and Team Blue. Until then, though, Apple’s tablets have proven that they can compete with x86-based processors.
