New Apple M4 chips set to help professionals across the spectrum in AI era
The new Apple chipsets are set to help a vast array of professionals — entrepreneurs, students, creators, data scientists, 3D artists, composers and developers — with far more power-efficient performance and advanced capabilities in the AI era.
New Delhi : The new Apple chipsets are set to help a vast array of professionals — entrepreneurs, students, creators, data scientists, 3D artists, composers and developers — with far more power-efficient performance and advanced capabilities in the AI era.
All three chips — M4, M4 Pro and M4 Max — are built using industry-leading, second-generation 3-nanometer technology, which improves performance and power efficiency.
According to Apple, the CPUs across the M4 family feature the world’s fastest CPU core, delivering the industry’s best single-threaded performance, and dramatically faster multithreaded performance.
The GPUs build on the breakthrough graphics architecture introduced in the previous generation, with faster cores and a 2x faster ray-tracing engine.
M4 Pro and M4 Max enable Thunderbolt 5 for the Mac for the first time, and unified memory bandwidth is greatly increased — up to 75 per cent.
“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 brings incredible performance for pro and AI workloads,” said the company.
M4 features an up to 10-core CPU, with four performance cores and up to six efficiency cores. It’s up to 1.8x faster than M1, so multitasking across apps like Safari and Excel is lightning fast. A 10-core GPU provides incredible graphics performance, up to 2x faster than M1, making everything from editing photos to AAA gameplay exceptionally fast and smooth.
M4 supports up to 32GB of unified memory and has higher memory bandwidth of 120GB/s.
M4 Pro takes the advanced technologies debuted in M4 and scales them up for researchers, developers, engineers, creative pros, and other users with more demanding workflows.
It features an up to 14-core CPU consisting of up to 10 performance cores and four efficiency cores. It’s up to 1.9x faster than the CPU of M1 Pro, and up to 2.1x faster than the latest AI PC chip.
M4 Pro supports up to 64GB of fast unified memory and 273GB/s of memory bandwidth, which is a massive 75 per cent increase over M3 Pro and 2x the bandwidth of any AI PC chip.
M4 Max is the ultimate choice for data scientists, 3D artists, and composers who push pro workflows to the limit. It has 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 CPU in M1 Max and up to 2.5x faster than the latest AI PC chip.
M4 Max supports up to 128GB of fast unified memory and up to 546GB/s of memory bandwidth, which is 4x the bandwidth of the latest AI PC chip. This allows developers to easily interact with large language models that have nearly 200 billion parameters.
M4, M4 Pro, and M4 Max are built for Apple Intelligence, according to the company.
