Apple's new M4 Pro and M4 Max chips are impressively fast in terms of CPU performance, beating the M2 Ultra, but what about graphics performance?
The first Geekbench 6 GPU performance results are now available for the M4 Pro and M4 Max, and the Metal scores show impressive gains compared to last year. Based on currently available Metal scores, the M4 Pro and M4 Max are about 40% and 25% faster in graphics than the M3 Pro and M3 Max chips, respectively.
The new 16-inch MacBook Pro with the top-end M4 Max with 40-core GPU is up to 85% as fast in graphics as the Mac Studio with the top-end M2 Ultra with 76-core GPU, despite having 36 fewer GPU cores, according to the results.
Here's a comparison of average Metal scores:
- Mac Studio with M2 Ultra (76-core GPU): 221,646 (over 600 results)
- MacBook Pro with M4 Max (40-core GPU): 190,329 (2 results)
- MacBook Pro with M3 Max (40-core GPU): 154,860 (6,000+ results)
- Mac mini with M4 Pro (20-core GPU): 110,556 (10 results)
- MacBook Pro with M3 Pro (18-core GPU): 78,681 (4,000+ results)
