The sleek and featherlight design paired with the groundbreaking display of the latest iPad Pro is made possible by M4, Apple's cutting-edge silicon technology ushering in a significant leap in performance. Harnessing second-generation 3-nanometer technology, M4 boasts enhanced power efficiency, perfectly complementing the design ethos of the new iPad Pro. Featuring an entirely revamped display engine, M4 introduces innovative technology to deliver breathtaking precision, vibrant color reproduction, and exceptional brightness, showcased in the Ultra Retina XDR display.
The new CPU within M4 boasts up to four performance cores and six efficiency cores, alongside next-generation machine learning (ML) accelerators, offering a remarkable 1.5x increase in CPU performance compared to the previous M2 chip found in the last generation iPad Pro. Building upon the GPU architecture of its predecessor, M3, M4 incorporates a formidable 10-core GPU, equipped with dynamic caching and hardware-accelerated mesh shading and ray tracing, making their debut on the iPad platform. Coupled with heightened unified memory bandwidth, professional rendering applications like Octane can expect up to 4x faster performance compared to M2. Notably, M4 achieves significant gains in industry-leading performance per watt, delivering equivalent performance to M2 while consuming just half the power, and outperforming the latest PC chips in thin and light laptops by utilizing only a quarter of the power.
A newly integrated Media Engine enhances the multimedia experience with support for AV1 decode, ensuring power-efficient playback of high-resolution content from streaming services. Furthermore, the new iPad Pro with M4 boasts Apple's most potent Neural Engine ever, capable of an astonishing 38 trillion operations per second, surpassing its predecessor, the A11 Bionic chip's Neural Engine, by a staggering 60x. Paired with next-gen ML accelerators, a high-performance GPU, and enhanced memory bandwidth, the Neural Engine transforms the iPad Pro into a formidable AI powerhouse. Tasks such as isolating subjects from backgrounds in 4K video using Final Cut Pro's Scene Removal Mask feature are expedited, thanks to the blistering performance of M4's Neural Engine.
iPadOS complements M4's capabilities with advanced frameworks like Core ML, facilitating seamless integration of the Neural Engine for local AI processing, enabling robust diffusion and generative AI models to run efficiently on the device.
With this advanced level of performance, the Neural Engine in M4 is more powerful than any neural processing unit in any AI PC today.
iPadOS also has advanced frameworks like Core ML that make it easy for developers to tap into the Neural Engine to deliver phenomenal AI features locally, including running powerful diffusion and generative AI models, with great performance on device.
