May 11, 2024: When Apple released the M4 chip, which is now thought to be the fastest CPU in the world, it changed the tech business again.
5: Showing Off the M4 Chip
Apple told people about the M4 chip on May 7, 2024. The M4 chip, which was made with second-generation 3-nanometer technology, improves on Apple’s already excellent power efficiency. It also has a brand-new display engine that powers the Ultra Retina XDR display on the iPad Pro, which has amazing clarity, color, and brightness.
Leap in Performance
The M4 chip has a CPU that is up to 50% faster than the M2 chip in the previous iPad Pro. It also has Apple’s fastest Neural Engine ever, which can do up to 38 trillion operations per second. This is faster than any AI PC’s neural processing unit right now.
What it means for the iPad Pro
The new iPad Pro’s groundbreaking shape and beautiful screen are made possible by the M4 chip. The new CPU has up to 10 cores, and the new GPU has 10 cores. Both are based on the next-generation GPU design that was launched in M3⁹. The new iPad Pro is now an incredibly powerful AI gadget because of this.
The History of the M4 Chip
The M4 chip that was a surprise addition to the new iPad Pro has a story behind it. Apple’s chipmaker, TSMC, released a new 3-nanometer process last year. This let Apple ship the M3 and A17 Pro chips and claim that they were the first big chips to use a 3nm process³.
Bottom Line
The M4 chip changes the rules in the tech world. The new iPad Pro is the most powerful gadget of its kind because it works so well and uses so little power. It will be interesting to see what the future holds for Apple’s silicon technology as the company keeps coming up with new ideas.
