Apple M4 processors score around 3800 points in the single-core performance test Geekbench. Recently, several assessments comparing the M4 with the flagship Intel Core i9-14900KS processor have appeared in the test database. In single-threaded tests, the Apple M4 outperforms the Intel chip by approximately 16%.
Numerical results in the database provide an idea of the performance of the most powerful cores of the M4. Multi-core tests are not as interesting, as the four productive cores of the processor and six energy-efficient cores work together.
The new Apple M4 combines 10 computational cores and a 10-core graphics processor with a 16-core neural engine, which is indicated to have a performance of 38 TOPS. The chip, created using a 3 nm process, supports dynamic caching, ray tracing, and hardware acceleration of AV1.
The significant advantage of the Apple M4 in the Geekbench single-core test may be the result of added support for Scalable Vector or Matrix Extensions (SVE or SME) - some sub-tests, such as object detection, have seen a significant performance increase (~200%). Supporting these functions would mean that Apple is using the ARMv9 architecture, but this is not certain.
Earlier, the machine learning results of the Apple M4 in Geekbench became known. The difference between the M2 and M4 is not too big, the new chip is approximately 23% faster, despite Apple's boastful claims.
