Apple iPad Pro 2024 gets major upgrade with new M4 chip leapfrogging the M2
Apple made its fans happy today during its live event, with the announcement of the latest iPad Pro, which is packed with some serious upgrades that push the tablet further into prosumer territory. Beyond sporting a refreshed design and an OLED display for the first time, one of the biggest changes this year include a powerful new chip.
Apple raised the bar with the announcement of its custom M4 chip, leapfrogging past the M3 found in the current MacBooks. The M4 has a new CPU with up to 10 cores, which Apple says delivers up to 1.5 times faster performance than the M2 chip in the previous iPad Pro. This extra power means tasks like editing complex music files or applying effects to 4K video will be smoother than ever.
The M4 is built on a 3-nanometer process that offers a boost in processing speed and significantly enhances AI capabilities — all without sacrificing battery life.
