Apple’s M4, M4 Pro and M4 Max chips are designed for AI workloads, thanks to the world’s fastest CPU core as well as neural engine. Plus, the GPUs are built upon the breakthrough graphics architecture introduced in the previous generation, with a 2x faster ray-tracing engine.
M4 Pro and M4 Max both support Thunderbolt 5 on Mac for the first time, while unified memory bandwidth is greatly increased — up to 75 percent. When all of this is combined with a Neural Engine that’s up to 2x faster than the previous generation and enhanced machine learning (ML) accelerators in the CPUs, the M4 family of chips boasts mind-bending performance for professional as well as AI workloads.
Apple silicon has taken the Mac to unprecedented heights, and the rapid pace of innovation continues with M4 Pro and M4 Max. With the world’s fastest CPU core, immensely more powerful GPUs, and the fastest Neural Engine ever, the power-efficient performance and capabilities of the M4 family extend its lead as the most advanced lineup of chips in the industry,” said Johny Srouji, Apple’s senior vice president of Hardware Technologies.
