Apple M4 9 vs Apple M3 8

The Apple M4 9 Core is newer than Apple M3 8 Core also around 14% faster in multi-threaded (CPU Mark) testing, but Apple M3 8 Core is around 5% faster in single-thread testing. Both CPUs operates at simliar power levels (TDP). The CPUs selected in this comparison belong in different CPU Classes: Mobile/Embedded, Desktop, Laptop. Consider, selecting CPUs from simliar CPU Class for more apt comparison.The values below were tabulated from a combined 819 benchmarks submitted from our PerformanceTest software and results and are updated daily to include new submissions.

  • The first section will show basic information for each CPU selected.
  • The additional graphs shows the CPU Mark and Single Thread values of each CPU selected.
  • An accompany graph, if price data is available, will shows the value for money, in terms of the CPU Mark/Thread Rating per dollar.
  • The last section will show approximate yearly running costs for the CPUs.
