Just a day after its somewhat underwhelming press release, the new Apple M4 powered MacBook Air has officially made its Geekbench debut. This eagerly anticipated launch showcases the capabilities of Apple's latest chip, allowing users to gauge the performance they can expect from this innovative device. In a world where performance benchmarks are crucial, the MacBook Air (Mac16,13) has made a notable impression.
According to the latest results from Geekbench 6.4, the new MacBook Air achieves impressive scores of 3,680 points in the single-core test and 14,924 points in the multi-core test. These scores are well within the average range found in our benchmark database, which records scores of 3,748 for single-core and 15,100 for multi-core tests. This indicates that users can expect performance levels that are very close to those of its Pro counterpart.
It comes as no surprise that the performance of the MacBook Air is not significantly lower than that of the MacBook Pro. In fact, for most common workloads that do not involve sustained heavy loads, there appears to be little to no performance loss between the MacBook Air and its Pro SKU. This is an exciting development for users who prioritize portability without sacrificing power.
With its impressive Geekbench scores and the advanced M4 chip, the new MacBook Air stands as a strong contender in the laptop market. Whether you are a student, a professional, or a casual user, this device promises to deliver exceptional performance while maintaining the sleek design and lightweight portability that Apple is known for. As more users get their hands on this model, further insights into its capabilities will undoubtedly emerge, solidifying its place in the competitive landscape of laptops.
