Apple's latest chip, the M4, is making waves in the tech world with its impressive performance as demonstrated in recent Geekbench benchmarks. The first set of results gave us a glimpse into the M4's capabilities, but new data has emerged, providing a clearer and more detailed picture. The numbers are not only impressive but indicate a substantial leap over its predecessor, the Apple M3.

According to Geekbench, the Apple M4 achieves single-core scores of 3,767 and 3,810 in two separate runs. This represents a 25% increase in single-core performance over the previous generation, making it a considerable upgrade. In multi-core tests, the M4's scores of 14,677 and 14,541 place it on par with the 11-core variant of the Apple M3 Pro.

In addition to these impressive results, the M4’s performance core can boost up to 4.4 GHz, marking the highest clock speed for an Arm-based System-on-Chip (SoC). This remarkable boost leaves competing products like the Snapdragon X Elite behind in terms of single-core performance. Even x86-based processors from industry giants like Intel and AMD seem to struggle to match the M4's speed.

But the performance improvements don’t stop at the CPU. The Apple M4's GPU also shows remarkable progress, with a Geekbench Metal benchmark score of 53,792. This is a 56% increase over the Apple M3 (34,421) and 10% higher than the Apple M3 Pro (48,785). These results suggest that the M4 will be a game-changer for Apple's product line, especially for graphics-intensive applications.

While the M4's powerful GPU might seem like overkill for iPadOS, users can expect to see this chip in upcoming MacBooks. These new laptops will undoubtedly benefit from the M4's enhanced performance, providing more power for professional applications, gaming, and other demanding tasks.

Overall, the Apple M4's latest benchmark scores solidify its position as a leader in Arm-based SoCs. Its combination of high CPU and GPU performance could set a new standard for Apple's devices, offering users unprecedented computing power.
