The Apple M4 Max, the high-end option among the new Apple processors that launched in the MacBook Pro, showed in a benchmark test that it should not be underestimated. The processor outperformed the RTX 3080 Ti and RTX 4070 in Blender Open Data, falling just short of the RTX 4080 for notebooks.
It’s interesting to note that NVIDIA GPUs have a much bigger benchmark sample than the M4 Max in the Blender data, but the results are an average, which shouldn’t change much. At the time of writing, the M4 Max scored 5,209.01 in Blender Open Data. That’s slightly more than the RTX 3080 Ti, which comes in at 5,190.39, and quite a bit more than the RTX 4070, which comes in at 5,128.87. Above the Apple component is the RTX 4080 for notebooks, with 5,321.43 points.
The M4 Max is the most powerful version of the three M4 processors from Apple. Along with the standard M4 and M4 Pro, all three are options in the MacBook Pro, as well as the 2024 Mac Mini. Apple, however, is reportedly working on an even more powerful version, the M4 Ultra, which should be in the new Mac Pro model.
Outperforming an RTX 4070 using integrated graphics is a big deal on its own, especially when comparing the size of the components. But it should also be noted that, as mentioned, the M4 series came out in notebooks and mini PCs, making energy efficiency a key focus for these products.
