Apple unveiled the M4 Max chip in April 2028, the performance pinnacle of Apple's self-designed silicon family.
The M4 Max uses TSMC's 3nm process with up to 20-core CPU and 80-core GPU, supporting up to 1.5TB unified memory—3x the previous generation M2 Ultra. The neural engine delivers 80 TOPS (trillion operations per second), approximately 65% improvement over M3 Max.
Apple stated M4 Max will first appear in Mac Pro and Mac Studio workstations, targeting AI developers and large model deployment scenarios. Thanks to the unified memory breakthrough, a single Mac Pro can now locally run LLMs exceeding 100 billion parameters—a first for workstation-class machines.
M4 Max also supports new "Flex Mode," which can leverage iPhone and iPad computing power for collaborative computation, further expanding available resources.
Mac Pro (M4 Max configuration) starts at $6,999, Mac Studio starts at $4,999, available for pre-order now.
