“M4 has Apple’s fastest Neural Engine ever, capable of up to 38 trillion operations per second, which is faster than the neural processing unit of any AI PC today.”
M4 packs 28 billion transistors on second-generation 3nm and debuts in an iPad, not a Mac. Apple claims 1.5x the CPU speed of M2 and a Neural Engine 60x faster than the A11’s. Every comparison is to M2 or to an unnamed “latest PC chip in a thin and light laptop.” The AI showcase is Live Captions and Visual Look Up. That is a lot of TOPS for captions.
