What we know about the M4 Pro

The big news is that Apple Silicon M4 Pro is finally here Provides support for Thunderbolt 5 For Mac computers. Thunderbolt 5 is not just one step forward, but a giant leap in cable technology. 9to5Mac writes that its base speed is 80 gigabits per second, and its maximum speed is 120 gigabits per second.

The cables also support dual 6K displays. This is an advantage for Mac Mini users working in video editing and related fields.

Additionally, the M4 Pro chips bring a number of other improvements:

• Apple says it’s currently the “world’s fastest processor core, delivering the industry’s best single-threaded performance.”
• The company also boasts “significantly faster multi-threaded performance.”
• It has faster cores and a faster ray tracing engine compared to the previous generation.
• M4 Pro is equipped with a 14-core processor consisting of ten performance cores and four efficiency cores.
• It has a 16-core neural engine that the company says is three times faster than the M1 chip. This technology is responsible for the artificial intelligence efforts that Apple is currently slowly rolling out.
• The processor also includes a 20-core GPU with dynamic caching.
• M4 Pro supports up to 64 gigabytes of combined high-bandwidth RAM.
• Apple claims the throughput figure is 273 gigabytes per second; This is twice the efficiency of other AI computer chips. By comparison, the M3 Pro’s bandwidth is 150 gigabytes per second, while the M3 Max’s is 300 gigabytes per second. So the current M4 Pro approaches the performance of last year’s “senior” chip model, the M3 Max.

In this context, Apple claims that the chip will “deliver lightning-fast performance for Apple Intelligence.” It is not yet known whether the M4 Pro will appear in other products such as laptops. Its predecessor, the M3 Pro, appeared in last year’s MacBook Pro laptops, so there’s a good chance the same will happen this year.
