Macs powered by M4, M4 Pro, and M4 Max planned for release later this year
Apple began rolling out its powerful M4 chips in May with the launch of the M4 iPad Pro, now it’s expected that the first Macs with M4 chips are also slated to arrive this year. According to Bloomberg News‘ Mark Gurman, Apple will update both the MacBook Pro and Mac mini lineups this year.
The entry-level 14-inch MacBook Pro is expected to get an M4 chip, while the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models will be updated with M4 Pro and M4 Max chips. The Mac mini will get M4 and M4 Pro chips. The MacBook Air, Mac Studio, and Mac Pro models won’t be updated with M4 chips until 2025, and it is not yet clear when the iMac might see an update with the refreshed chip technology.
Apple’s M4 chip is built on an upgraded 3-nanometer node, with Apple first introducing 3-nanometer technology with the M3 line. In Geekbench 6 benchmarks, the M4 chip is up to 25 percent faster than the M3 chip when it comes to multi-core performance, so we could see similar gains for the M4 Pro and M4 Max chips.
