At an event in San Francisco, Apple showcased a range of new iPads that highlighted the company’s potential for artificial intelligence features. The company’s M4 chipset was introduced, which included a more powerful “neural engine” to support AI and machine learning features in both third-party apps and Apple’s own software.
Tim Millet, Apple’s vice president of platform architecture, stated that the M4’s neural engine is capable of performing an impressive 38 trillion operations per second. This is more than double the operations per second compared to the base-level M3 chipset found in other Apple devices like the MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and iMac.
Apple has been focusing on improving its AI capabilities as it seeks to stay competitive in the rapidly evolving technology landscape. These advancements are a key focus for the company as it looks to keep pace with competitors in the AI race.
