The Apple M4 chip’s AI performance just leaked – and it might not be what you expected

When Apple unveiled the new M4 iPad Pro at its May 7 'Let Loose' event, the company talked up the M4 chip’s artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities, saying it was more powerful than any neural processing unit (NPU) in any AI PC today. Well, the M4’s performance has apparently just leaked in a fresh set of Geekbench benchmarks, and the results are fascinating from an AI perspective.

Compared to the previous-generation M2 iPad Pro, the latest model shows a modest improvement in performance. In Geekbench’s ML 0.6.0 test – which measures machine learning capability – the new iPad Pro scored 9,234. That’s roughly 23% higher than the M2 iPad Pro’s score of 7,511.
