Apple has recently unveiled a range of new iPad Air and iPad Pro models, available in 11-inch and 13-inch sizes. The latest models feature the powerful M2 and M4 chips, with a notable performance comparison showcased during Apple's presentation. Following the event, Geekbench benchmark results for the M4 iPad Pro surfaced on Twitter.
M4 iPad Pro Performance
According to Vadim Yuryev's tweet, the 2024 iPad Pro boasts an impressive single-core score of 3,767 and a multi-core score of 14,677. Apple had earlier claimed that the M4 chip offers a 1.5 times boost in speed compared to the M2 iPad Pro. Surprisingly, Apple chose to skip the M3 iPad Pro, introducing the M4 variant instead.
Enhanced Performance and Design
By bypassing the M3 version, Apple managed to achieve a significant performance leap of 25% in just 7 months with the M4 chip. The new M4 iPad Pro is highlighted as the most potent and thinnest iPad yet, a claim that appears to be substantiated by the Geekbench scores.
Impressive Specifications
The M4 iPad Pro demonstrates a 22% increase in single-core performance and a 25% improvement in multi-core performance. Notably, the M4 chip propels the 2024 iPad Pro past the 11-core 14-inch M3 Pro MacBook Pro in terms of speed. This remarkable performance enhancement becomes even more striking considering the slim 5.1mm form factor of the new iPad Pro.
Apple has tailored the M4 chip variants based on storage configurations in the latest iPad Pro lineup. Models with 256GB and 512GB storage options feature 3 performance cores, while the 1TB and 2TB models are equipped with 4 performance cores. This strategic approach underscores Apple's commitment to delivering cutting-edge performance in their devices.
