Benchmark Overview

Ahead of the launch of new iPad Air models equipped with the M4 chip, preliminary Geekbench benchmark results have surfaced, giving an idea of how its performance compares to the prior‑generation M3 iPad Air.

A pair of benchmarks from the 13‑inch M4 iPad Air with Wi‑Fi + Cellular (iPad16,11) suggest the M4 iPad Air CPU is 17.3 % faster in single‑core performance and 7.9 % faster in multi‑core performance on Geekbench.

The iPad Pro version with the M4 chip has up to a 10‑core CPU and up to a 10‑core GPU, so the M4 iPad Air does not match the M4 iPad Pro in CPU performance. The 13‑inch M4 iPad Pro records a single‑core score of 3704 and a multi‑core score of 13805, offering 3.6 % faster single‑core and 9.6 % faster multi‑core CPU performance compared to the M4 iPad Air.
