Apple is a company known for launching products that can be quite expensive, but also offer a unique ecosystem in the world, and with each new device launched they offer improved performance and power, although in some cases this may be counterproductive. productive. After seeing how M3 have become one of the main choices of many users, the company has reportedly already started developing the chip M4the new proposal of Apple surpass M3.
Among the big technology companies there are Apple, a company that since its inception has begun to implement new developments in the sector, sometimes offering the first models of some of the devices that we currently know. This has led them to dominate several markets in which they have achieved a base of buyers who, regardless of the price, always buy their products practically on the release date, demonstrating the loyalty they have managed to achieve from of their users.
Apple’s new chip will use another 3nm process
When we talk about the processes used by the processors and chips of several of the world’s largest companies in this sector, it is clear that we must talk about TSMC, the Taiwanese company that has revolutionized the world thanks to the technologies it has developed. during the last years. From the beginning, Apple This is one of the companies with which the Taiwanese foundry has concluded the majority of contracts, offering 50% of the total production to its main buyer, the company that created the iOS-based ecosystem.
So we know that all the new chips that will be developed Apple They will integrate cutting-edge technology, which comes from TSMC, we have already seen it with their chip M3, which incorporates a custom N3B process, which will change for the next generation of chips. And it is that the M4 will happen with the evolution of the process used in the M3known as N3E, an architecture that enables better performance, greater computing capacity and greater energy efficiency.
This obviously implies an improvement in the power of the chip, although as we well know, one of the biggest problems that Macs can currently have is not their prices, but the temperatures that they are able to reach , since the M3 They were already powerful enough to support these laptops at extremely high temperatures, so if the cooling issues are not addressed, the M4 They could be worse in this regard.
The new high-power variants
Like always, Apple It plans to present several chip models that will allow us to choose the option that best suits us, with price and specification variants that will allow us to customize (in the little that can be personalized) the laptop that we wish. These chips will receive the same names as the previous ones, offering a basic version, as well as a high-end version called M4 Pro, and with the possibility of opting for an even higher range, which we already know, which would be indicated by the term Max, that is to say the M4 Max.
