While Apple introduced its new MacBook Pro models this week, remarkable details of the performance-ambitious M4 Pro chip also emerged. Benchmark (performance test) results of a MacBook Pro model with the M4 Pro chip show that it surpasses the previous generation M3 Max in processor performance. While the first results were published in Geekbench tests, it was noted that this chip, developed by Apple with 3 nanometer (nm) production technology, reached 3925 points in single-core performance and 22669 points in multi-core performance. These scores indicate that the M3 Max chip in the 2023 model MacBook Pros offers performance beyond the single and multi-core scores of around 3000 and 21000, respectively.
The technical details of the M4 Pro reveal that Apple pays more attention to performance efficiency and speed capacity in the new generation processor design. It is shared that the MacBook Pro model (Mac16.7), which is listed as having an M4 Pro chip in Geekbench tests, is equipped with a 14-core CPU and has a base processor frequency of 4.51 GHz. In addition, the device offers a combined memory capacity of 48 GB, which reveals that Apple’s high-level memory management systems have been developed to comply with the performance demands.
Unlike Apple’s previous generation chips, the M4 Pro chip is produced with a 3nm process, providing performance gains and also increasing energy efficiency. 3nm technology allows you to fit more processing power into a smaller space, while providing less energy consumption and higher speed. These advantages can enable users to have a more effective experience, especially in areas that require high processing, such as graphics, video editing and software development.
Apple also optimizes energy consumption with M4 Pro
The new M4 Pro chip not only delivers raw processing power, but also optimizes energy consumption to deliver longer battery life. This is an important advantage, especially for users looking for a balance between performance and battery life in portable devices.
The performance increase that Apple provides in M series processors with each generation increases the competition in the sector and also contributes to professional users reaching faster and more powerful devices. M4 Pro’s processor core count, high memory capacity and 3 nm manufacturing process support Apple’s strategy of offering more efficient and powerful devices in the notebook field. In particular, the graphics processing capabilities of advanced chips such as the M4 Pro have the potential to provide a significant increase in productivity for professional-level content creators.
