The 10-core version of the M4 chip earned an average single-core score of 3695 , and the average multi-core score is 14,550 across 10 tests. When it comes to single-core performance, the M4 is faster than the M3 Max MacBook Pro and comparable to the ‌M2‌ Maximum multi-core performance.

For context, here are the single-core and multi-core performance of previous chips (all variants with maximum CPU/GPU performance):

Apple said the M4 delivers 1.5 times faster processor performance than the ‌M2‌ in the previous generation ‌iPad Pro‌, which is consistent with the benchmark results we've seen so far.
