苹果宣布M4芯片组 ：2024 iPad Pro上最新和最先进的技术开始启用Apple Announces M4 SoC: Latest and Greatest Starts on 2024 iPad Pro
Setting things up for what is certainly to be an exciting next few months in the world of CPUs and SoCs, Apple this morning has announced their next-generation M-series chip, the M4. Introduced just over six months after the M3 and the associated 2023 Apple MacBook family, the M4 is going to start its life on a very different track, launching alongside Apple’s newest iPad Pro tablets. With their newest chip, Apple is promising class-leading performance and power efficiency once again, with a particular focus on machine learning/AI performance. The launch of the M4 comes as Apple’s compute product lines have become a bit bifurcated. On the Mac side of matters, all of the current-generation MacBooks are based on the M3 family of chips. On the other hand, the M3 never came to the iPad family – and seemingly never will. Instead, the most recent iPad Pro, launched in 2022, was an M2-based device, and the newly-launched iPad Air for the mid-range market is also using the M2. As a result, the M3 and M4 exist in their own little worlds, at least for the moment. Given the rapid turn-around between the M3 and M4, we’ve not come out of Apple’s latest announcement expecting a ton of changes from one generation to the next. And indeed, details on the new M4 chip are somewhat limited out of the gate, especially as Apple publishes fewer details on the hardware in its iPads in general. Coupled with that is a focus on comparing like-for-like hardware – in this case, M4 iPads to M2 iPads – so information is thinner than I’d like to have. None the less, here’s the AnandTech rundown on what’s new with Apple’s latest M-series SoC. Apple M-Series (Vanilla) SoCs SoC M4 M3 M2 CPU Performance 4-core 4-core 4-core (Avalanche) 16MB Shared L2 CPU Efficiency 6-core 4-core 4-core (Blizzard) 4MB Shared L2 GPU 10-Core Same Architecture as M3 10-Core New Architecture - Mesh Shaders & Ray Tracing 10-Core 3.6 TFLOPS Display Controller 2 Displays? 2 Displays 2 Displays
