Early Geekbench benchmark results indicate the potential performance of the new M4 iPad Air, which is set to hit the market with a range of gains between 13% and 22% in single-core and 5% in multi-core CPU tests, depending on how the device is measured. The M4 chip was introduced with a different core count compared to earlier M4 chips. The new device will be released on March 11 and more benchmark results will surface once reviews and hands-on testing are conducted.
