M4 Pro Chip Benchmark Results Reveal an Extremely Impressive Performance FeatThe first
Geekbench 6 benchmark results for the M4 Pro chip surfaced today. Impressively, the results that are available so far show that the highest-end M4 Pro chip is faster than the highest-end M2 Ultra chip in terms of peak multi-core CPU performance.
Here is a comparison of the results:
<ul><li><strong>Mac mini with M4 Pro (14-core CPU):</strong> 22,094 multi-core score (average of 11 results)</li>
<li><strong>Mac Studio with M2 Ultra (24-core CPU):</strong> 21,351 (average of
more than 600 results)</li></ul>Based on these results, the M4 Pro now holds the record of being the fastest Apple silicon chip ever in the Geekbench 6 database. Of course, it will soon be surpassed by the M4 Max chip with a 16-core CPU, but no results are available for that chip as of writing. We will publish a follow-up report with the M4 Max results once they are available.
What this means is that you can now purchase a Mac mini with a 14-core M4 Pro for $1,599 in the U.S. and get similar to faster peak performance than a Mac Studio with the 24-core M2 Ultra, a configuration that starts at $3,999.
As for year-over-year performance improvements, the M4 Pro is up to 45% faster than the highest-end M3 Pro chip in terms of multi-core CPU performance, based on the Geekbench 6 results that are available so far.
Here is a comparison of the results:
<ul><li><strong>Mac mini with M4 Pro (14-core CPU):</strong> 22,094 multi-core score (average of 11 results)</li>
<li><strong>14-inch MacBook Pro with M3 Pro (12-core CPU):</strong> 15,282 (average of
more than 4,000 results)</li></ul>Read our
