Here Are All Comparison Results of M4 Pro and M4 Max Chips So Far

Over the past two days, the first Geekbench 6 benchmark results for Apple’s new M4 Pro and M4 Max chips have emerged, providing some performance comparisons.

We shared multi-core CPU performance results for M4 Pro And for M4 MaxCheck out these posts to see the scores the chips achieved. In summary, the top-end variants of the M4 Pro and M4 Max both outperform the top-end M2 Ultra chip in the Mac Studio and Mac Pro, which is impressive. Specifically, the M4 Max is up to 25% faster than the M2 Ultra in terms of peak multi-core CPU performance.

For customers choosing between the M4 Pro and M4 Max, the M4 Max appears to be up to 20% faster than the M4 Pro in terms of peak multi-core CPU performance. M4 Max is now the fastest Apple silicon chip in the Geekbench 6 database.

As we noted in our previous report, you can now buy a Mac mini with a 14-core M4 Pro for $1,599 in the US and get performance similar to faster peak performance from a Mac Studio with a 24-core M2 Ultra. From $3,999. If you want up to 25% faster performance than the M2 Ultra, the 16-inch MacBook Pro with the 16-core M4 Max starts at the same $3,999 price as the Mac Studio.

As for graphics performance, GPU-focused Geekbench 6 results It shows that the M4 Pro is up to 25% faster than the M3 Pro chip, and the M4 Max is up to 40% faster than the M3 Max chip. These are very respectable gains year over year. The top-of-the-line M4 Max with a 40-core GPU has up to 85% faster graphics than the Mac Studio with the top-of-the-line M2 Ultra chip with a 76-core GPU, despite having 36 fewer GPU cores.

Note that the M4 Pro’s impressive performance gains are partly due to the fact that the M3 Pro is a product. A very minor upgrade over the M2 Pro chip last year.
