Apple’s M4 Chip Powers AI Revolution on New iPad Pro
Apple just revealed its latest iPad models, and they’re packed with major upgrades in speed, design, and artificial intelligence (AI) abilities. The company calls this “the biggest day for iPad” since it was first introduced, really highlighting how big of a deal these new tablets are.
The star of the show is the new iPad Pro, powered by Apple’s M4 chip. This custom processor is outrageously fast — four times quicker than the current iPad Pro. which is achieved due to blazing-fast Neural Engine — an IP block dedicated to accelerating AI workloads.

This is Apple’s most powerful Neural Engine to date, capable of an astounding 38 trillion operations per second — a breathtaking 60 times faster than the first Neural Engine in the A11 Bionic chip. Together with next-generation ML accelerators in the CPU, the high-performance GPU, and higher-bandwidth unified memory, the Neural Engine makes M4 an outrageously powerful chip for AI.
And with AI features in iPadOS like Live Captions for real-time audio captions, and Visual Look Up, which identifies objects in video and photos, the new iPad Pro allows users to accomplish amazing AI tasks quickly…
