From the announcement of iPad Pros today, M4 also launched on my months after M3. Most comparisons were with M2 iPads but a couple things I tease apart:
- 2nd gen 3nm (N3E?)
- “new display engine enables stunning precision, color, and brightness”
- Neural cores: 18 vs 38 TOPS
On device AI is no doubt going to be the main focus of this next gen of AS.
Anyone can piece together perf comparisons between M2/M4 and compare with M3?
From what I’m seeing with the speed of iterating on a new chip plus reiterating existing M3 features, it really does seem like M4 = M3 with newer gen Neural Engine. This also explains why the A17 Pro had such high TOPS compared to M3.
