Apple introduced the new M4 chip, manufactured using a 3-nanometer process technology and significantly superior to its predecessor M2 in computing power and artificial intelligence performance.
M4 Chip
High-Performance Deca-Core Processor
Manufactured using an industry-leading 3nm process, Apple's latest M4 processor features of 4 powerful and 6 energy-efficient cores. According to the company, the chip is twice as powerful as the previous M2. The 10-core M4 GPU supports dynamic caching, mesh shading, ray tracing, and a four times faster rendering engine.
Incredible AI Computing Power
During the presentation, special attention was paid to the processing capabilities of the M4 artificial intelligence. Thanks to the new neural chip, it provides an amazing 38 TOPS power when running AI algorithms. This is 60 times faster than the NPU performance in the 2017 A11 chip. However, despite the slightly lower stated power compared to the Snapdragon X Elite, Apple claims the M4 is capable of delivering similar performance to the latest PC chips while using only a quarter of the power.
Advanced rendering engine
In addition to improved AI processing capabilities, the M4 chip also received an updated display engine that provides four times faster rendering compared to the previous generation. This will significantly improve performance in graphically intensive applications and games.
