The anticipation around the upcoming M4 MacBook Pro is building, and recent benchmark leaks are adding to the excitement. We’ve already glimpsed its impressive performance through Geekbench 6’s single-core and multi-core results. Now, the spotlight turns to its graphical capabilities, with new Metal benchmark scores revealing how the M4’s 10-core GPU handles demanding tasks.
Some might assume its GPU performance would match that of the 11-inch and 13-inch iPad Pro models, which share a similar chipset. However, the numbers suggest a slight edge for the MacBook Pro. The M4 MacBook Pro scored a notable 57,603 points in the Geekbench 6 Metal test, surpassing the 53,669 points of the flagship iPad Pro. This divergence in performance can likely be attributed to the MacBook’s efficient cooling system, which includes an active fan. This setup allows the M4 MacBook Pro to sustain higher performance levels than the thermally constrained iPad Pro.
To put this into context, last year’s M3 MacBook Pro achieved 49,890 points in the same test. The M4’s substantial leap of over 15 percent in performance highlights the advancements Apple has made with its latest iteration. This comparison remains consistent as both the M3 and M4 feature a 10-core GPU.
Interestingly, there’s speculation that this M4 MacBook Pro might be the same model previously tested by a Russian YouTuber. When examining the Geekbench 6 single-core and multi-core scores, they align perfectly with earlier findings. However, these synthetic benchmarks are just the beginning. As more comprehensive tests are conducted, we’ll gain deeper insights into what the M4 MacBook Pro truly brings to the table.
Keep an eye out for more updates and analyses as this new MacBook Pro gets put through its paces by tech enthusiasts and experts alike.
