2024 Apple iPad Pro is more powerful than MacBook Pro: See why

Apple's latest 2024 iPad Pro lineup, boasts a powerhouse under the hood: the M4 chip.

This new processor is a significant performance leap for the iPad Pro, even surpassing the M3 Pro chip found in recent MacBook Pro models!

Apple M4 chip Geekbench scores

Independent benchmark results from Geekbench showcase the M4 chip's capabilities.

The 10-core M4 achieves a single-core score of 3,767, exceeding even the score of the 11-core M3 Pro MacBook Pro.

The M4 chip's dominance extends to multi-core performance as well. Geekbench results show a multi-core score of 14,677, demonstrating a significant improvement over the M3 chip.

Apple skips M3 for iPad Pro

Interestingly, Apple opted to skip the M3 chip in its latest iPad Pro lineup, even though M3 MacBooks were released in October 2023. This decision likely reflects the rapid development cycle of Apple's silicon.

Released just seven months after the M3, the M4 offers a substantial 25% performance improvement, suggesting Apple prioritized efficiency gains for the new iPad Pro.

The M4 chip's performance boost is even more remarkable considering the iPad Pro's incredibly thin profile, measuring just 5.1mm (13-inch).
