New iPad Pro It’s official, and one of his greatest innovations is… powerful M4 chip. Apple made a last-minute change, replacing the supposed M3 with an AI-focused processor. Thus, the tech giant has taken an important step in the race for artificial intelligence.
The highlight of the M4 chip, without a doubt, is its ability to perform complex artificial intelligence tasksl thanks to the updated neural engine. Apple, like other companies, relies on this technology in its mobile operating systems. To do this, you need to have special hardware, and this is where your new processor shines.
The M4 chip is manufactured using the second generation 3nm process technology, which provides high performance with efficient power consumption. Inside we find processor with 4 performance cores and 6 efficiency coreswhich offer improved branch prediction, richer decoding and execution engines, and next-generation machine learning accelerators.
One of the great new features of the M4 is its 10-core GPU, which now supports ray tracing. He iPad Pro will be the first iPad with ray tracing and Apple celebrated by showing Devil Immortal, a popular Blizzard game. Other GPU capabilities include dynamic caching and mesh shading.
In terms of performance The M4 chip provides up to a 50% increase in processor speed compared to the M2.. Apple noted that all of these improvements were achieved while maintaining low power consumption. This means the M4 can deliver the same performance as the M2 with only half the power.
Perhaps the most surprising thing in this section is that the M4 can match the performance of an Intel Core Ultra 7 155H while using only a quarter of its power.
Artificial intelligence, Apple M4 chip axis
There’s a reason for the move from the M2 chip to the M4: artificial intelligence. The M4 chip has a neural engine capable of 38 trillion operations per second and is 60 times faster than the first neural engine in the A11 Bionic. This will allow you to run features like Live Captions, which offer real-time captions, or Visual Look Up, which identifies objects in photos and videos.
Apple notes that inference workloads can run efficiently and privately, minimizing the impact on memory, response time, and battery life. The Neural Engine is not exclusive to iPadOS features as it can also be used in other apps.
While the M4 will debut alongside the iPad Pro, other devices will receive it later. Report Bloomberg mentions that the new chip will appear in the 14-inch MacBook Pro and 24-inch iMac at the end of 2024, while the Mac Mini and MacBook Air will have a base version with the M4 sometime in 2025.
