Unreleased M4 MacBook Pro’s Geekbench Result Leak with Record-Breaking Numbers
Oct. 7, 2024Apple is planning to release its M4 MacBooks around the end of October, but a Russian YouTuber named Wylsacom has already unboxed the upcoming MacBook Pro M4, and it seems to be a retail model. This early reveal is unprecedented as Apple products have rarely leaked before their official launch. Nevertheless, the leak shows Geekbench results of unreleased Apple M4-powered MacBook Pro with a 10-core CPU, delivering record-breaking performance.
The base M4 MacBook Pro features one extra CPU core and likely uses a fan so the CPU performance is slightly better than the fanless 9-core M4 iPad Pro. On the other side, Qualcomm’s top-tierSnapdragon X EliteSKU (X1E-84-100) can raise the frequency of two cores to 4.2GHz but fails to cross the 3,000 mark in single-core tasks.Geekbench single-coreGeekbench multi-core10-core Apple M4 on MacBook Pro (Leaked)3,86415,2889-core Apple M4 on iPad Pro3,64713,13512-core Apple M33,10815,12612-core Snapdragon X Elite (X1E-84-100)2,84515,722
However, with 12 CPU cores, the Snapdragon X Elite manages to match Apple M4’s multi-core score but keep in mind that the X Elite draws a lot of power,close to 80W. In terms of performance per watt, Apple M4 is leagues ahead of the competition including Qualcomm, Intel, and AMD.
Recently, a report suggested that Qualcomm is working on its second-genSnapdragon X2 Elitechipset which would run cooler and offer great CPU performance. However, we must wait for test runs to see if it can beat Apple’s latest M4 chipset.
