Benchmark Score for an Apple 10 Core M4 vs Apple Studio Pro M1 Ultra

Hi all. Wondering if anyone has any benchmark scores for the base Apple M4 which at the moment is the 10-Core CPU / 10-Core GPU / 16Gb Ram?
Just seen I can get one for £533, was considering using it as a render node. But only if it's worthwhile...

Probably incredably good benchmarks for 500 pounds but 16Gb will be the bottleneck slowing things down a lot depending on your scenes. I was thinking to get a M4 Mini pro but it's max. 64Gb.
I usually need 128Gb with the amount of vegetation I like to render on my M1.

I would not be surprised if the 10 core M4 renders at about the same speed as any other 10 core M-processor.  The core count seems more important than M1 or M4. The M4 has only 4 performance cores though and 6 efficiency cores at lower speed. The M4 pro has 10 performance cores and better cooling.
