Apple announced its newest MacBook Pro laptop computer which features increased performance thanks to the M4 family of chips.
Like all of Apple’s recent announcements, the new MacBook Pro — which is available in 14-inch and 16-inch configurations — is “built for Apple Intelligence.” The company says that combined with its machine learning accelerators in the CPU, an advanced GPU, and a faster and more efficient Neural Engine, Apple silicon is built to support high performance with AI tasks.
Apple says that when combined with faster unified memory, these chips also get increased memory bandwidth so large projects run more smoothly while at the same time, power efficiency is even more improved: Apple says that MacBook Pro users will see up to 24 hours of battery life. M4 Pro, the next step up, promises up to 4x faster scene rendering performance with Maxon Redshift when compared to the 16-inch MacBook Pro with Core i9, and up to 3x faster when compared to the 16-inch MacBook Pro with M1 Pro. Apple says it also offers up to 5x faster simulation of dynamical systems in MathWorks MATLAB when compared to the 16-inch MacBook Pro with Core i9, and up to 2.2x faster when compared to the 16-inch MacBook Pro with M1 Pro.
The M4 Pro and M4 Max MacBook Pro options also come with Thunderbolt 5, which more than doubles transfer speed capability to 120 Gb/s. All MacBook Pro models also feature an HDMI port that supports up to 8K resolution, an SDXC card slot, a MagSafe 3 port for charging, and a headphone jack, along with support for WiFi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3.
