The Apple M4 processor is featured in the new iPad Pro tablet with an OLED screen. The chip is manufactured using a 3 nm process technology and consists of 4 productive and 6 energy-efficient cores. According to Apple, it is twice as powerful as the M2 processor in the previous iPad Pro. The 10-core M4 GPU also supports dynamic caching, mesh shading and ray tracing, as well as a new rendering engine with four times faster rendering.
During the presentation, Apple paid significant attention to the M4's AI processing capabilities. According to the company, the new neural chip provides 38 TOPS of power in AI operations. It's 60 times faster than the NPU in the 2017 A11 processor, but that's still less than the claimed 45 TOPS of the Snapdragon X Elite. However, Apple still claims that the M4 can deliver the same performance as the latest PC chips at just a quarter of their power consumption.
Apple didn't mention the number of Neural Engine cores in the M4. The M series chips (with the exception of M1 and M2 Ultra) had the same number of 16 NPU cores since the debut, but the number of TOPS gradually increased with each generation, the neural unit performed better.
The M4 reveal comes less than two weeks before Microsoft hosts a special Windows and Surface event (in Seattle on May 20), where the new Arm-based hardware is expected to officially launch. Microsoft is also confident that Windows on Arm will finally be able to beat Apple's M3-equipped MacBook Air laptops in both performance and AI acceleration.
