Benchmarks spotlight Apple’s M4 Max’s stunning graphics power
Apple’s M4, M4 Pro, and M4 Max chips
Early CPU benchmarks via Geekbench for Apple’s highest-end M4 Max chipset were very impressive. Now 9to5Mac takes look at some GPU benchmarks for the M4 Max.
Michael Burkhardt for 9to5Mac:
These GPU benchmark scores come from Blender Open Data, a test where users can benchmark Blender performance on their device, both in CPU and GPU. Unlike synthetic benchmarks like Geekbench, the Blender benchmark can provide an idea of real world performance, if this suits your workflow.
According to Blender Open Data, the M4 Max averaged a score of 5208 across 28 tests, putting it just below the laptop version of Nvidia’s RTX 4080, and just above the last generation desktop RTX 3080 Ti, as well as the current generation desktop RTX 4070.
That’s quite impressive, considering Apple’s graphics are entirely on-chip, unlike the discrete RTX 3080 Ti and RTX 4070, which occupy significant space inside a desktop PC…
One interesting highlight is that the desktop RTX 4090 averages a score of 10880. Hypothetically, an M4 Ultra chip that doubled up on the M4 Max could beat that score, which would make the next generation Mac Studio a lot more interesting.
MacDailyNews Take: The M4 Max offers very impressive performance for such an efficient, power-sipping SoC!
