Wait wait wait.

That’s comparing a M4 Pro (middle level) to a M3 Air. The Air is a lower power machine with the low spec processor.

There is no M4 Pro Air. They have to be using a MacBook Pro. That likely has a bigger display, a display capable of getting way brighter, showing more colors, better speakers, all sorts of other stuff.

That’s not a very valid comparison.

If anything, the fact that the M4 Pro gets so close to the M3 is impressive.

The M3 was on a process that was known to run hot. I strongly suspect that every M4 chip is more efficient than the equivalent M3 chip.




There are multiple comparisons vs multiple chips on both CPU and GPU. Keep scrolling.
