Apple M-4 chip
Apple is newst M4 chip has been spotted on Geekbench is ML Neural engine database . The 10 - core version scotes 9,234 points in the benchmark, making it about 24% faster than the apple m2.

In a surprising turn of events Apple chose to uneveil its new M4 chip alongside the new iPad Pro Model . unlike its predecessors which varied in GPU core count , this one comes in two varients one with a 9- core CPU and the other with 10 cores. the letter has now shown up on geeckbench (H/T @negatieonehero on x).
The 10 - core Apple M4 is benchmarked on Geekbench is core ML Neural Engine inference test, where it scores 9,234 points. its previous gen counterpart, the M-2 powerd iPad pro , scores 7,393 in the same benchmark.
In essence, the Apple M4 i NUP is about 24% faster than the Apple M2 , at least in this test . it would be unfair to draw a comparison with an Apple M3 (8331) because the chip only ever powered laptop and not iPad ,
The listing also reveals a slight reduction in clock speed , with it CPU operating at 3.93 GHz ( 4.05 GHz on the Apple M3 ) further more , the iPad Pro in question seems to be running an early version
of iPados 18.
While the Apple M4 delivers a decent performance uplift on the NPU side, it will be interesting to see if it carries over to the CPU and GPU. An increase in multi -core performance is imminent due to the extra CPU core, but ingle - core might take a hit due to slower clocks.
