Apple’s M4, M4 Pro, and M4 Max chipsets redefine professional performance by merging power efficiency with advanced AI capabilities. Built on cutting-edge 3-nanometer technology, these chipsets deliver unmatched speed and multitasking, catering to the needs of entrepreneurs, data scientists, 3D artists, composers, and developers, making complex workflows faster and more efficient than ever.
According to Apple, the CPUs in the M4 family feature the world’s fastest CPU core, offering the best single-threaded performance in the industry along with significantly enhanced multithreaded capabilities.
The GPUs enhance the groundbreaking graphics architecture from the previous generation, featuring faster cores and a ray-tracing engine that’s twice as fast. For the first time, M4 Pro and M4 Max support Thunderbolt 5 for Mac, and the unified memory bandwidth has increased by up to 75%.
The M4 series is designed with Apple Intelligence at its core, ushering in a new era for Mac. This integration combines powerful generative models with cutting-edge privacy features, leveraging Apple silicon and the Neural Engine to transform how users work, communicate, and create.
“Combined with a Neural Engine that’s up to twice as fast as the previous generation and enhanced machine learning accelerators in the CPUs, the M4 family delivers incredible performance for pro and AI workloads,” the company stated.
The M4 features up to a 10-core CPU, with four performance cores and up to six efficiency cores, making it up to 1.8x faster than the M1 for multitasking across apps like Safari and Excel. Its 10-core GPU offers exceptional graphics performance, up to 2x faster than M1, ensuring smooth experiences in photo editing and AAA gaming.
M4 supports up to 32GB of unified memory and has a memory bandwidth of 120GB/s. The M4 Pro scales up the advanced technologies from M4 for users with more demanding workflows, featuring an up to 14-core CPU with up to 10 performance cores and four efficiency cores. It’s up to 1.9x faster than the M1 Pro and 2.1x faster than the latest AI PC chip.
M4 Pro supports up to 64GB of fast unified memory and boasts 273GB/s of memory bandwidth, a substantial 75% increase over M3 Pro and double the bandwidth of any AI PC chip.
For those pushing the limits of pro workflows, M4 Max is the ultimate choice. It features an up to 16-core CPU, with up to 12 performance cores and four efficiency cores. It’s up to 2.2x faster than the M1 Max and 2.5x faster than the latest AI PC chip.
M4 Max supports up to 128GB of fast unified memory and delivers an impressive 546GB/s of memory bandwidth, four times that of the latest AI PC chip. This allows developers to seamlessly work with large language models containing nearly 200 billion parameters.
In summary, the M4, M4 Pro, and M4 Max chipsets are meticulously engineered for Apple Intelligence, paving the way for groundbreaking advancements in technology.
