M4 on MacDiff: chip bins and Mac models
M4 is the volume base-chip generation for recent Air/mini/iMac configs: MacDiff CPU 149–167 and GPU 151–192 across its bins. This hub lists Apple silicon Macs that use M4 chips in the MacDiff catalog. M4 covers 3 chip bin(s) here. Across those bins CPU runs 149–167 and GPU runs 151–192 (MacBook Air M1 = 100). Open a bin URL for exact core counts, or a model URL for memory/storage configs. Indices are MacDiff’s own scale — not Geekbench. Continue to /cpu or /gpu for full-field rank.
Pick a bin URL for the exact core-count page, or a configuration for memory/storage context.

M3 vs M4 on MacDiff
Adjacent generations: base M3 sits at CPU 137 / GPU 141–164, while base M4 moves to CPU 149–167 / GPU 151–192 (M1 Air = 100). The gap is real but smaller than M1→M4. If you already own M3 and are not GPU-bound, the MacDiff bump alone may not repay an upgrade — compare concrete bins below or open Compare. See also the M3 family hub and M1 vs M4 for a larger generation jump.
Notebook chassis note
MacBook Air and base MacBook Pro configs that share a chip bin receive the same MacDiff indices. Choose chassis for display/ports/thermals; use /compare to confirm the bin.

FAQ
What scale are these numbers on?
MacDiff index, MacBook Air M1 = 100. Not Geekbench. See methodology.
Where is the exact core-count page?
Each bin lives at /processors/{bin-id}. Family hubs list every bin for a chip name.
