Apple's new M4 Pro and M4 Max chips are impressively fast in terms of CPU performance, topping the M2 Ultra, but what about graphics performance?
The first Geekbench 6 results for GPU performance are now available for the M4 Pro and M4 Max, and the Metal scores reveal some impressive year-over-year gains. Based on the Metal scores that are available so far, the M4 Pro and M4 Max are up to around 40% and 25% faster for graphics than the M3 Pro and M3 Max chips, respectively.
The new 16-inch MacBook Pro with the highest-end M4 Max with a 40-core GPU has up to 85% as fast graphics as the Mac Studio with the highest-end M2 Ultra chip with a 76-core GPU, despite having 36 fewer GPU cores, according to the results.
Here is a comparison of the average Metal scores:
- Mac Studio with M2 Ultra (76-core GPU): 221,646 (More than 600 results)
- MacBook Pro with M4 Max (40-core GPU): 190,329 (2 results)
- MacBook Pro with M3 Max (40-core GPU): 154,860 (More than 6,000 results)
- Mac mini with M4 Pro (20-core GPU): 110,556 (10 results)
- MacBook Pro with M3 Pro (18-core GPU): 78,681 (More than 4,000 results)
