The M4 chip was introduced in May 2024 for the iPad Pro (7th generation), and is the fourth generation of the M series Apple silicon architecture, succeeding the Apple M3. [3] [4] [5] It was followed by the professional-focused M4 Pro and M4 Max in October 2024. [6]
The seventh-generation iPad Pro was released on May 15, 2024, [4] and is Apple's first device to use the M4 chip, [5] as well as the first iPad to use an OLED-based display module. [6] The 13-inch version is Apple’s thinnest device, with both models surpassing the seventh-generation iPod Nano. [3]
Apple announced the M4 chip on May 7, 2024, along with the new seventh-generation iPad Pro models; it would later be used for the iMac, Mac Mini and MacBook Pro. The M4 is based on the N3E process rather than the N3B process used by the M3 and contains 28 billion transistors.
The M4 is a system on a chip fabricated by TSMC on an enhanced 3 nm process, containing 28 billion transistors. It has 10 CPU cores (4 performance and 6 efficiency), up to 10 GPU cores, and a 16 core Neural Engine, as well as LPDDR5X memory with a bandwidth of 120 GB/s. The M4 Pro and M4 Max SoCs are fabricated by TSMC on an enhanced 3 nm process.
The seventh-generation iPad Pro and current-generation iPad Pro was introduced in May 2024 alongside the 6th-generation iPad Air, launching with the M4 processor, Apple Pencil Pro, a new Magic Keyboard with function keys and is the first iPad with an OLED display.
MacBook Pro (16-inch, M4 Pro or M4 Max) 4.4 GHz 14-core Apple M4 Pro system-on-chip with 10 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores; 4.4 GHz up to 16-core Apple M4 Max system-on-chip with 12 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores; 24 GB of unified in-package 256-bit 8533 MHz LPDDR5 SDRAM with up to 273 GB/s of memory bandwidth (M4 Pro)
Apple M3 is a series of ARM-based system on a chip (SoC) designed by Apple Inc., part of the Apple silicon series, as a central processing unit (CPU) and graphics processing unit (GPU) for its Mac desktops and notebooks.
