Apple Unveils New M4 Pro and M4 Max Chips: Maximum Power and Efficiency for Mac Devices

Sure! Here’s the translation to American English:

Apple has officially launched its new M4 Pro and M4 Max chips, which along with the M4, promise to revolutionize the performance and energy efficiency of Mac devices. Built with second-generation 3-nanometer technology, these chips represent an unprecedented advancement in the industry, delivering exceptional power and speed while optimizing energy consumption.

M4: Power for Every User

The M4 chip features a CPU of up to 10 cores, divided into four performance cores and six efficiency cores, making it up to 1.8 times faster than the M1 chip. With this capacity, users can multitask, such as working on productivity applications or gaming, with unparalleled smoothness. Its GPU doubles the graphical performance of the M1, making it ideal for photo editing and advanced gaming. The M4 also includes a 16-core Neural Engine, significantly enhancing artificial intelligence (AI) applications within the Apple Intelligence system.

The M4 supports up to 32 GB of unified memory and has a bandwidth of 120 GB/s. Additionally, it supports two external displays and offers up to four Thunderbolt 4 ports, providing great flexibility in connectivity.

M4 Pro: For Professionals Who Need More

The M4 Pro chip takes the M4’s capabilities to a higher level. With a CPU of up to 14 cores (ten performance and four efficiency), it offers performance up to 1.9 times greater than that of the M1 Pro. Its 20-core GPU allows for graphic processing up to 2.4 times faster, which is ideal for designers, developers, and creative professionals who require high power in their workflows.

The M4 Pro supports up to 64 GB of unified memory, with a bandwidth of 273 GB/s, which is 75% more than the previous generation. This chip also incorporates the latest Thunderbolt 5 technology, allowing transfer speeds of up to 120 GB/s, doubling the performance of Thunderbolt 4. The GPU optimized for ray tracing provides a more realistic visual experience for game development and 3D rendering.

M4 Max: The Most Powerful Chip for Extreme Tasks

The M4 Max chip is designed for users who need maximum performance, such as data scientists, 3D designers, and audiovisual content creators. This chip features a CPU of up to 16 cores (twelve performance and four efficiency), with performance 2.2 times higher than the M1 Max. Its 40-core GPU is capable of exceeding the speed of the most powerful AI chip for PCs by up to four times, enabling advanced tasks such as uninterrupted video editing and real-time complex graphics processing.

The M4 Max supports up to 128 GB of unified memory with a bandwidth of 546 GB/s. It is also equipped with two video encoding engines and two ProRes accelerators, making it an ideal tool for professional audiovisual production. Like the M4 Pro, the M4 Max supports Thunderbolt 5, maximizing data transfer and connectivity with high-performance peripherals.

Apple Intelligence: Enhanced AI and Reinforced Privacy

The new M4 chips have been optimized for Apple Intelligence, the AI system that offers advanced features for users of the Apple ecosystem. With tools like Enhanced Writing Tools and improved Siri, Apple Intelligence allows users to rewrite and summarize text, answer questions, and perform actions within the system. It also introduces new features like Image Playground and Genmoji, enabling the creation of personalized images and emojis. Apple has also securely integrated ChatGPT without requiring users to create an account.

Commitment to Energy Efficiency and the Environment

The M4 series has been designed with a focus on energy efficiency, allowing MacBook Pro models to provide up to 24 hours of battery life. This energy-saving extends to desktop devices like the iMac and Mac mini, reducing total energy consumption throughout their lifespan. Additionally, Apple remains committed to achieving carbon neutrality by 2030, reinforcing its environmental commitment.

With the new M4, M4 Pro, and M4 Max chips, Apple continues to lead the way in technological innovation, providing users with unprecedented performance and efficiency while strengthening its commitment to sustainability.
