Apple Prepping The M4, M4 Pro And M4 Max For Its New MacBook Pro Range Later This Year, With Updated Mac mini And iMac Models Expected Too
The M4 was introduced to the 11-inch and 13-inch iPad Pro models, becoming the first chipset to materialize using TSMC’s second-generation 3nm process.

Other configurations featuring the M4 Pro might be offered, with the M4 Max likely reserved for the Mac Studio next year.
As far as performance goes, we were thoroughly impressed with the M4. For those who need their memory jogged, Apple launched two versions with varying CPU and GPU cores. The top-end version, flaunting a 10-core CPU, ran circles around the M2 and M3 and maintained a solid lead against the M3 Pro and Snapdragon X Elite. As for the less powerful variant with the 9-core configuration, it was
