As expected (well by me anyways) the M4 Pro 10/4 is pretty evenly matched with the M2 Ultra in multi core workloads.
Fortunately for my wallet the clang subtest is still better in Ultra land, so I can wait until next year to pony up big bucks on a new Mac.

@paul Still, pretty insane. I’m replacing my M1 Max 8/2 Studio with the M4 Pro 10/4 mini. Can’t wait.
@chrisclauson why not wait until the M4 Studio?
@paul It’s overkill for me. This mini is perfect. If they had the memory on earlier minis I would have gone that route
@paul Here's the comparison between the M4 Pro Mac Mini I ordered and the iMac13,2 it is replacing.
@paul I'm making the jump from the smalles M1 Pro with 16 GB to the biggest M4 Max with 64 GB. Pretty hyped to be honest.
@paul I do not need a new Mac, I don’t need it, my intel iMac is still good enough.
But omg, this is a difference

@paul What can I say, I failed: https://hachyderm.io/@Mpwg/113458585441300747
@paul Why is there such a big discrepancy in single core?
@paul it's odd that M4 Max is almost 15% faster than the M4 Pro in single core

@paul never mind, the Pro here is from a mini, if you compare with a MacBook Pro the difference is just 2-3%.
@diogot @paul Wait…the Pro from the mini performs that much worse than the Pro from the MBP? Both 14 cores?
I would have expected the better cooling in a Mini to help it if the test is long enough. I guess I'd have to look at the clock speed. I'll wait until everything's out because trying to decode the naming scheme hurts my brain.
