Apple created a new class, with the introduction of its latest M4 family of chips: the M4, M4 Pro, and M4 Max. These processors represent a significant leap in performance, efficiency, and capabilities, setting a new standard for personal computing. Let's look into what makes these chips so revolutionary.
The M4 Chip: Power and Efficiency for Everyone
The M4 chip is designed to bring phenomenal performance to a wide range of users, from students and entrepreneurs to creative professionals. Built using second-generation 3-nanometer technology, the M4 chip features an up to 10-core CPU with four performance cores and six efficiency cores. This configuration delivers up to 1.8 times the performance of the M1 chip, making multitasking across apps like Safari and Excel lightning fast and power efficiency taken to its limits.
The M4 also boasts a 10-core GPU, providing incredible graphics performance that is up to twice as fast as the M1. This makes everything from photo editing to AAA gaming exceptionally smooth. Additionally, the M4 supports up to 32GB of unified memory and offers a higher memory bandwidth of 120GB/s, ensuring that even the most demanding applications run seamlessly.
The M4 Pro Chip: Scaling Up for Demanding Workflows
For users with more demanding workflows, the M4 Pro chip takes the advanced technologies of the M4 and scales them up. The M4 Pro features an up to 14-core CPU with 10 performance cores and four efficiency cores, delivering up to 1.9 times the performance of the M1 Pro. The GPU in the M4 Pro has up to 20 cores, providing graphics performance that is twice as fast as the M4 and up to 2.4 times faster than the latest AI PC chip.
This performance boost makes the M4 Pro ideal for tasks like building and testing apps in Xcode, rendering 3D graphics, and running complex simulations. The M4 Pro also supports up to 64GB of unified memory and offers a massive 273GB/s of memory bandwidth, which is 75% more than the M3 Pro. This ensures that even the most intensive applications run smoothly and efficiently.
The M4 Max Chip: The Ultimate Powerhouse
The M4 Max chip is the most powerful in the M4 family, designed for users who push their workflows to the limit. With an up to 16-core CPU featuring 12 performance cores and four efficiency cores, the M4 Max delivers up to 2.2 times the performance of the M1 Max. The GPU in the M4 Max has up to 40 cores, providing graphics performance that is up to 1.9 times faster than the M1 Max and up to four times faster than the latest AI PC chip1.
The M4 Max supports up to 128GB of unified memory and offers an astounding 546GB/s of memory bandwidth, which is four times the bandwidth of the latest AI PC chip. This makes the M4 Max perfect for tasks like de-noising raw video footage in real-time, interacting with large language models, and running complex data analyses.
Apple Intelligence and Beyond
All three chips in the M4 family are built for Apple Intelligence, a personal intelligence system that transforms how users work, communicate, and express themselves while protecting their privacy. With features like systemwide Writing Tools, a redesigned Siri, and enhanced machine learning accelerators, Apple Intelligence harnesses the power of the M4 family to deliver incredible performance for AI workloads.
Add the New M4 to the Apple MacBook Pro: A Game-Changer in Personal Computing
This latest iteration of the MacBook Pro series is powered by the revolutionary M4 family of chips, which includes the M4, M4 Pro, and M4 Max. Making this MacBook a powerhouse for A.I and workflow.
Advanced Display and Connectivity
The new MacBook Pro comes with a stunning Liquid Retina XDR display, offering up to 1000 nits of brightness for SDR content and 1600 nits for HDR content. The display also features an all-new nano-texture option, which reduces reflections and glare, making it perfect for professional use in various lighting conditions3.
Connectivity has also been enhanced with the introduction of Thunderbolt 5 on the M4 Pro and M4 Max models, providing faster transfer speeds and advanced connectivity options. This makes it easier to connect to external displays, storage devices, and other peripherals, ensuring a seamless workflow.
Apple Intelligence: A New Era of Personal Computing
One of the standout features of the new MacBook Pro is its integration with Apple Intelligence, a personal intelligence system that transforms how users work, communicate, and express themselves. Apple Intelligence leverages the power of the M4 family of chips to deliver incredible performance for AI workloads, making tasks like writing, summarizing email chains, and smart photo editing more efficient and intuitive3.
Design and Battery Life
The new MacBook Pro retains the elegant and professional design introduced in previous models, with a slim and solid build available in space black and silver finishes. The 14-inch and 16-inch models offer up to 24 hours of battery life, the longest ever in a Mac, ensuring that users can stay productive throughout the day and beyond.
