Apple announce a new apple Mac M4 mini with basic model M4 chips and 16 core into even a smaller size of 5 inches by 5 inches. Pack with apple inteligance and competitivie price
The M4 processor enhances the CPU core count compared to the M3, offering improved AI performance with an upgraded neural engine. It includes three or four performance cores alongside six efficiency cores, adding two more efficiency cores than its predecessor. While the GPU core count remains unchanged at 10, the neural engine retains its 16 cores but significantly boosts its processing power to 38 trillion operations per second (TOPS), more than double the M3’s 18 TOPS. This enhanced neural engine is expected to play a vital role as Apple integrates more Apple Intelligence features across iOS, iPadOS, and macOS.

While many Apple Intelligence features are already available through platforms like ChatGPT and Google Gemini, integrating them further would significantly enhance accessibility and efficiency. However, the real game-changer lies in Apple’s actionable intelligence—offering a more efficient way to boost productivity. For example, users could ask Siri to open their most recent workspace, retrieve previously accessed folders, or seamlessly integrate across multiple software platforms. These capabilities would make Apple’s ecosystem far more competitive. Currently, Apple Intelligence is not yet available in many regions around the world, limiting its impact. Expanding the availability and introducing more advanced actionable intelligence—such as predictive system-wide suggestions—would greatly enhance its appeal. Many users spend valuable time hunting for misplaced files or retracing their work steps. With improved actionable intelligence, Apple could transform how we interact with technology, making daily workflows more seamless and productive.

Neural engine and unified memory for advanced AIThe M2 GPU performance has demonstrated remarkable results, delivering high frames per second (FPS) and efficiency in various benchmarks, as shown in the two attached videos. Apple’s M4 chip, with its latest architecture, is claimed to be 1.4x faster than the M1 in both CPU and GPU performance, making it a substantial leap forward for power users and gamers alike. The M2 chip features a 10-core GPU that provides smooth gameplay and high frame rates, as reflected in benchmarks from GFXBench. In real-world scenarios, it excels at handling demanding tasks such as 3D rendering, complex game physics, and high-resolution gaming. According to GFXBench, the M2 GPU is capable of running titles like Manhattan 3.1 and 1440p Aztec Ruins with consistent 60+ FPS performance under onscreen tests. Offscreen tests show even higher FPS, peaking beyond 370 FPS, indicating the chip’s ability to support next-gen games with ease. Moreover, the M2’s efficiency ensures better thermal management, enabling longer gaming sessions without performance throttling. The M4 chip builds on this, introducing new optimizations, which promise to reduce latency and enhance power efficiency, making it an ideal choice for gaming, creative applications, and multitasking. You can explore more details about the M2’s performance from the source: GFXBench - Apple M2 Performance.
