Apple M4 Max

The Apple M4 Max is Apple's flagship System-on-Chip for 2025, built on TSMC's second-generation 3nm process with 28 billion transistors. Featuring up to 16 CPU cores (12 performance, 4 efficiency) and up to 40 GPU cores, the M4 Max delivers exceptional AI performance with its Neural Engine capable of 38 trillion operations per second—more than double the M3. With up to 128GB of unified memory and 546GB/s memory bandwidth, it can run large language models with nearly 200 billion parameters locally. Apple claims 4x AI performance advantage over competing Intel chips, making the M4 Max ideal for on-device machine learning and MLX framework deployment.
