The M4 has put on a clinic in Geekbench 6, expanding the performance gap in single-core tests and maintaining a solid lead against notable chipsets like the M3 Pro and Qualcomm's Snapdragon X Elite in the multi-core category. While it is settled that Apple's latest SoC is a beast in compute capabilities, we have not got around to seeing how capable it is when it comes to gaming. Fortunately, if you plan on engaging in Genshin Impact, you will be pleased to know that the M4 is now the fastest silicon for this game.

M4 manages an impressive 113.6FPS in Genshin Impact, though it runs slightly hotter than the M2

With Genshin Impact running at the maximum visual settings, Dame Tech's testing and comparison results show that the M4 is actually the first chipset to break past the 100FPS mark in the game. The YouTuber ran the title for 30 minutes, showing that Apple's latest SoC maintained an impressive 113.6FPS, making it 26.22 percent faster than the M2, which obtained 90FPS. Keep in mind that both chipsets are running the game at slightly varying resolutions, with the M4 rendering the game at 1668p, pushing more pixels than the previous-generation iPad Pro's 1638p resolution.

YouTuber Dame Tech has provided a performance comparison with the M4 the new king of Genshin Impact

Compared to the M1, the M4 is 45.49 percent faster, and against the A17 Pro, the 3nm silicon is a whopping 92.16 percent faster. If you look at the performance chart above, the M4 does not get hot but still runs warmer than the M2 at 39 degrees Celsius. Apple's executives stated during the 11-inch and 13-inch iPad Pro announcement that both tablets feature a copper cooling solution in the Apple logo that helps transfer heat better, which may be the reason why the chipset maintains such solid temperatures.

However, pushing Genshin Impact at 100+ frames per second requires a ton of processing juice, which may suggest that the M4 could consume more power than the M2, forcing it to run at higher temperatures. Unfortunately, the YouTuber did not provide this information, so we cannot comment on it. Hopefully, when more comparison data flows through, we can provide more information on the M4's efficiency. For those wondering, Genshin Impact is quite a demanding title, but with more AAA titles arriving to iPadOS, it will be interesting to see how the M4 handles those games, so stay tuned.
