The M4 MacBook Air is set to bereleased within the next few week , and as common , former benchmark answer are starting to seem online . The GPU results that have bolt down up unsurprisingly show that the new laptop offers GPU performance similar to that of theM4 iPad Pro .
Geekbench 6 is a democratic bench mark tool ( we use it for our reviews ) , and its outcome web browser has GPU benchmarks for a computer labeled as Mac16,12 , whichMacRumorsreported as the code name for the forthcoming M4 MacBook Air . One event shows a Metal score of55516 , while another has a score of54806 ; these scores are standardised to that of the M4 iPad Pro ’s 54231 . For compare , the M4 MacBook Pro ’s GPU posted a Metal score of 57082 in ourreview .
The MacBook Air , like the iPad Pro , does n’t have a sports fan to cool down down the flake , so it has to throttle down to maintain a proper temperature . The MacBook Pro does have a fan , so its cow chip can run faster . It ’s also possible that the M4 examine has fewer GPU cores ( 8 or 9 ) than the M4 in the MacBook Pro , which has 10 cores .
But the difference is unperceivable to general users and only those who do heavy - duty GPU - intensive tasks will notice . If you want a punishing number to gauge the difference of opinion , the MacBook Pro is 3 pct quicker . It ’s not much .
The Mac16,12 GPU entranceway state of matter that the M4 Mac had a 10 - core CPU , the same as the M4 MacBook Pro and the iPad Pro with 1 TB or 2 TB of storage , though the Geekbench web internet browser does not show any Multi - Core scores recorded for Mac16,12 as of this written material . The M4 MacBook Pro had a Geekbench Multi mainframe score of 14763 , while the iPad Pro ’s score was 13709 . The M4 MacBook Air ’s mark will in all likelihood be closer to the iPad Pro ’s . But again , the difference wo n’t inevitably be detectable .
On Monday , Bloomberg ’s Mark Gurmanreportedthat Apple is preparing for the M4 MacBook Air ’s release in March . He did not peg down a appointment for the proclamation , but because Apple currently offers the M3 MacBook Air in aback - to - schoolhouse promotionthat terminate on March 13 , we look the M4 MacBook Air to be released sometime after then .
