Apple M4 (10-CPU) vs Apple A19 Pro
Last updated:
Summary
The Apple M4 (10-CPU) is designed for powerful tablets and thin Macs, the Apple A19 Pro for future high-end smartphones.
Both are manufactured using Apple's 3nm process. The M4 integrates ten CPU cores for demanding workloads; the A19 Pro features multiple CPU cores, optimized for mobile efficiency. In the Geekbench 6 single-core benchmark, both CPUs are comparable. However, in multi-core performance, the Apple M4 (10-CPU) surpasses the Apple A19 Pro by over 59 percent.
For gaming, the M4 offers better performance with its Apple M4 (10 Core) graphics unit and 120 GB/s memory bandwidth than the A19 Pro with its Apple A19 Pro (6 GPU Cores) and 68 GB/s memory bandwidth. The Apple M4 (10-CPU) is designed for higher, sustained performance with a higher TDP in larger devices.
The Apple A19 Pro prioritizes maximum energy efficiency and a lower TDP for smartphones and long battery life. A direct price-performance evaluation is not possible as both processors are tightly integrated into Apple devices. The Apple M4 (10-CPU) is ideal for users seeking maximum multi-core performance and superior graphics for demanding tasks in a mobile form factor.
The Apple A19 Pro offers excellent single-core performance and maximum efficiency, tailored for smartphones and everyday mobile applications.
