To end this All Saints' Day week in style, Apple officially announced its new M4, M4 Pro and M4 Max chips, in addition to unveilingnew MacBook Pros.
We already saw the M4 SoC on iPad earlier in the year, then oniMac this Mondayand onMac mini last night. The M4 Pro version also made its debut last night, on the high-end version of the Mac mini.
Finally, this evening, we welcome theM4 Max. We ultimately obtain a trio of choices, replacing the M3, M3 Pro and M3 Max.
What's new for the 4th generation of Apple silicon chips?
The components are engraved in3 nm, with a new generation assembly process. Apple guarantees an unparalleled performance/consumption ratio. Raw power is therefore improved for the M4 generation compared to last year. But this is not the only element that changes the situation.
The new SoCs are also compatible with aNext-generation Thunderbolt, the Thunderbolt 5. In addition, the Neural Engine is announced to be twice as fast as that of the M3 family, while the bandwidth of the unified RAM also gains in transfer speed.
On the heart side, the number does not change from one generation to the next. M3 and M4 in Max version can go up to 16 cores for the CPU part and 40 cores for the GPU part. Associated with this, a maximum of 128 GB of RAM.

Finally, let's not forget the fact that the new family of Apple silicon chips is announced asparticularly suited to the use of Apple Intelligenceand its greedy features.
In any case, you can find the M4, M4 Pro and M4 Max chips on the new iMac, Mac mini and MacBook Pro. The Mac Studio still benefits from the M2 Max and M2 Ultra, just like the Mac Pro, configurable only with the M2 Ultra. The MacBook Airs are a little more modern, with their M3 chip.
In any case, we hope to quickly see these machines embrace the latest generation of Apple silicon chips. It is always surprising to see Apple reserve such new features for its “entry-level” computers for a while.
