Apple announced exciting new iPad Air and iPad Pro models at their recent event. These come in all-new 11-inch and 13-inch sizes. During the Apple’s official presentation, Apple made a comparison on the performance of the M2-powered iPad Pro and the M4 iPad Pro. And now the Geekbench benchmark result for the M4 iPad Pro has suddenly appeared on Twitter.

Vadim Yuryev‘s post on Twitter reveals that the 2024 iPad Pro has a single-core score of 3,767 and a multi-core score of 14,677. Apple had already stated at the launch event that the new M4 chip is 1.5 times faster than the M2 iPad Pro. Despite introducing M3 Macbooks in October 2023, Apple skipped the M3 iPad Pro and instead introduced the M4 iPad Pro.

Skipping the M3 iPad actually makes sense since there’s only a 7-month difference between the M3 and M4 chips. In just 7 months, Apple managed to achieve a 25% performance boost, as seen on the Geekbench scores. Apple advertises the new M4 iPad Pro as the most powerful and thinnest iPad, a claim that we can confidently say indeed reflects reality.

The new M4 iPad Pro is 22% faster in single-core performance and 25% faster in multi-core performance. In fact, the M4 chip makes the 2024 iPad Pro even faster than the 11-core 14-inch M3 Pro MacBook Pro. It’s quite remarkable that Apple achieved a 25% performance boost in just 7 months, especially considering the new iPad Pro’s body is as thin as 5.1mm. Note that the Geekbench result reflects the performance of the 10-core M4 chip. Apple offers different M4 variants based on the storage variant in the new iPad Pro lineup. The 256GB and 512GB models have 3 performance cores, while the 1TB and 2TB models have 4 performance cores.
