Apple announces new M4 chip, capable of accelerated ray tracing, 50% faster than M4

[John Elden Ring]

• CPU has 4 perf and 6 efficiency cores•
10-core GPU with dynamic caching, mesh shading, and ray tracing
• up to 50% faster CPU performance than M2
• 38 TOPS of NPU perf

At its “Let Loose” event on Tuesday, Apple announced its M4 chip will be coming to its next generation of devices, starting with the iPad Pro. After rumors of a “true AI-powered device,” the new OLED iPad Pro will include an upgraded M4 chip that’s focused on improving performance for AI-related tasks in iPadOS. Apple focused heavily on the M4’s AI capabilities, thanks to a new neural engine that’s “an outrageously powerful chip for AI.” It’s supposedly 60 times faster than the A11’s NPU and could allegedly rival AI chips from Intel, AMD, and Qualcomm.

Tittle needs a fix

Seems pretty good.
And if hardware consoles takes notes that is what they need to buying strong machines at console form factor in the future.
Not x86.

If Sony could do a console with ARM CPUs + AMD/nVidia GPU it can be a winner strike with PS6.

Didn't know where else to post it , but damn this advert really sums up apple doesn't it

I wonder how many Switch 2s could fit into that performance profile.
