Apple M4
A high-performance mobile SoC introduced by Apple, fabricated on TSMC's second-generation 3nm process. It integrates a new CPU, GPU, and Neural Engine, with an emphasis on on-device AI inference capabilities. The chip made its debut in the iPad Pro.
Timeline (last 90 days)
On an Apple M4 (16GB memory), running all-MiniLM-L6-v2 through ChromaDB embedded 50,000 documents in 161.6 seconds (309 per second), with no dedicated GPU required.
Apple's M4 chip debuted in the latest iPad Pro.
The M4's GPU adopts a new dynamic architecture and supports hardware-accelerated ray tracing.
It is currently unclear when and how M4 will expand to other Apple product lines.
A thorough cross-vendor comparison of M4 against competing AI chips such as Intel Lunar Lake and Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite still requires validation with more real-world benchmark data.
The M4 is manufactured using a second-generation 3nm process (TSMC N3E).
