    Apple claims 1.5x faster CPU performance compared to the M2.

    We tested several Apple devices with the M2, M3, M4, and the A12 and found that the M4 comes pretty close to matching Apple's claim about relative CPU performance. In the Geekbench benchmark, this iPad Pro achieved almost 44 percent faster performance than the iPad Air with M2 in the multi-core test and a jump of around 41 percent for single-core.

    First of all, this is a good, objective review. I appreciate the justified praise and criticism therein.

    But I’m also going to be “that guy.”

    Can we please agree that 1.5x faster is not the same as (roughly) 50% faster? I realize 1.5x is Apple’s claim, but we don’t need to repeat it unless roasting them for exaggeration. Otherwise, let’s reserve this kind of numerical concept fudging for the FT articles.
