Tech giants such as Google and Microsoft are investing heavily in artificial intelligence (AI). Apple, traditionally silent on this front, appears poised to break its silence based on Bloomberg article by Mark Gurman that states Apple M4 chips will come equipped with AI functionalities.
Apple Unveils M4 Chip Variants
Mark Gurman recently disclosed the expected codenames for Apple's forthcoming M4 CPU series: likely M4, M4 Pro, and M4 Max. Preliminary reports indicate the Apple M4 may support up to 512GB of unified memory compared to current limit of 192GB; most powerful processor could potentially be labeled M4 Ultra or Extreme.
Anticipated Release Timeline and Codenames for Google Glass
Though initial M4 devices could become available by 2024, more robust iterations of this series should become available by 2025. According to Bloomberg's analysis, an entry-level chip for these M4 series phones may be known internally as Donan while mid and top tier variants would likely bear names like Brava and Hidra respectively.
Future Of MacBooks With M4 Chips
Gurman predicts the first Macs featuring M4 chips could debut between October or November 2024, similar to how entry-level MacBook Pro models feature M3 series chips; higher performance versions could include M3 Pro or Max variants similar to what are integrated into current 14-inch MacBook Pro variants.
