M4 Pro Chip Benchmark Results Reveal an Extremely Impressive Performance Feat
Here is a comparison of the results: - Mac mini with M4 Pro (14-core CPU): 22,094 multi-core score (average of 11 results) - Mac Studio with M2 Ultra (24-core CPU): 21,351 (average of more than 600 results) Based on these results, the M4 Pro now holds the record of being the fastest Apple silicon chip ever in the Geekbench 6 database. Of course, it will soon be surpassed by the M4 Max chip with a 16-core CPU, but no results are available for that chip as of writing. We will publish a follow-up report with the M4 Max results once they are available.
Apple Mobile Processors Are Now Made in America. By TSMC
Good Evening from Taipei, TSMC’s first Arizona chips are now in production, and Apple is ready to be the first cab off the rank with mobile processors made using the foundry’s 5nm process. Apple’s A16 SoC, which first debuted two years ago in the iPhone 14 Pro, is currently being manufactured at Phase 1 of TSMC’s Fab 21 in Arizona in small, but significant, numbers, my sources tell me. Volume will ramp up considerably when the second stage of the Phase 1 fab is completed and production is underway, putting the Arizona project on track to hit its target for production in the first-half of 2025.
