M4 Max chip leaked by Apple itself – CPU likely to power new MacBook Pro laptops about to be released

Apple's week of Mac-related announcements looks set to culminate today with the launch of the MacBook Pro M4, and these laptops will feature not only the vanilla M4 and M4 Pro chips, but also the M4 Max, as seen a newly discovered clue.

Hurray! Looks like the M4 Max MacBook Pros are coming tomorrow, I assume? 😆Given that the “M4 Max” image assets are now on Apple's website (that wasn't the case before last time I checked) https://t.co/rDBnTKjDBqOctober 29, 2024

So it looks like someone at Apple was a bit negligent here and Joseph managed to spot the asset that had been sneaking in in the background, with well-known leaker Mark Gurman subsequently reporting it.

It's a strong indication that, as previously mentioned, we'll soon see the M4 Max, which is rumored to be offered with higher-end MacBook Pro models.

Analysis: Another big hope – consistent RAM usage

What else can we say about the upcoming MacBook Pro M4, other than the likelihood that there will be options on the base M4 chip, as well as M4 Pro (already seen in the Mac mini launched yesterday) and M4 Max (which will be new and exclusive ) will offer? to the Pro laptops)? Well, we would be surprised if Apple didn't equip the new MacBook Pro 14-inch with 16 GB of RAM in the entry-level version (as is already the case with the 16-inch variant).

That's because both the iMac M4 (which debuted on Monday) and the Mac mini M4 have at least 16GB of unified memory. So it would be a ridiculous decision not to equip a laptop aimed at professional users with this amount of RAM (as already rumored). Especially because it seems necessary for Apple Intelligence, the new AI capabilities that the M4 is designed for (at least partially, this time with a much more powerful NPU on board).

While Apple Intelligence can run on 8GB of RAM (like the iPad Pro), this isn't ideal and may result in you using less storage space when running multiple apps on a Mac – especially in the future since the AI functionality is undoubtedly there has been further developed by Apple.
