Hi all,

Young female technophobe here so please go easy on me.

I decided to do some single run tests on cinebench 2026 and my CPU (multi thread) result gave 3106 pts which doesn't seem right.

Please will somebody or a couple of people run a test on Cinebench 2026 with their M4 Air & post your result here.

Many tia. X
 
Thanks for this.

Was this result on Cinebench 2026 and was it the 10 minute test or a single run?
Yes, Cinebench 2026 10 minute multicore CPU test. This morning I decided to re-run the test three times to obtain an average. The numbers increase substantially from the 2,772. The results averaged to 3,292 with the highest being 3,345 and the lowest being 3,219.

Yes, I found that when I did the 10 minute test I only reached 3106 pts (sometimes a little less around 29xx).

I recently did the single run that lasts about 4-5 minutes & got a better score of 3416 with a room temperature of about 22oC.

I've found that the room temperature also has a impact on readings, so with morning temps being lower, this is probably why your score increased.

Were your results achieved with your MBA plugged in or just on the battery?

You should try a single run test as your score should increase further.

The ambient temperature was the same for both times when I performed the tests. System was plugged in.

If you would have a fan in that laptop/notebook, it could go even higher. But sadly that is not the case with the MacBook Air.
