Apple M4 is an ARM-based system on a chip (SoC) designed by Apple Inc. as a central processing unit (CPU) and graphics processing unit (GPU) for the 7th generation iPad Pro. Released in May 2024, it is the fourth generation of Apple Silicon architecture, succeeding the Apple M3.[1][2][3]
The Apple M4 SoC's Neural Engine is capable of 38 trillion operations per second, "which is 60x faster than Apple’s first Neural Engine in the A11 Bionic chip.". The SoC is built upon a 3 nano-meter process, and features four performance cores, six efficiency cores, and 10 graphics processing cores.[4]
