An early look at the M4’s performance did not deliver the best positive first impression because we believed that Apple lowered the clock speeds to achieve better efficiency. However, we are pleasantly surprised by the latest results, as Apple’s new SoC powering the 11-inch and 13-inch iPad Pro models runs circles around the M2, handily beats M3, and zips past the M3 Pro and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Elite, which are two chipsets occupying a higher performance bracket.

Compared to the M3, YouTuber @VadimYuryev shared on X that the M4 is 22 percent faster in single-core and 25 percent ahead of its predecessor, with Dame Tech sharing on the same micro-blogging social network that against the M2, the M4 is 45 percent faster in multi-core performance.
What caught us by surprise is that Apple’s M3 Pro with an 11-core CPU is slower than the iPad Pro chipset, with the retail version of the Snapdragon X Elite also seemingly unable to beat its newest rival in both single-core and multi-core runs. Bear in mind that the
