Apple is gearing up to produce a new series of processors, potentially the M4, featuring significant improvements and utilizing TSMC's 3nm process. The M4 chips are expected to enhance AI performance, with reports suggesting a 60% increase over the M1's neural engine speed. Apple may introduce the Ultra Fusion Bridge technology and M4-based Max chips this fall, continuing into 2025. Rumors indicate the release of M4 versions of various Apple devices, including MacBooks, iMacs, and the Mac Pro. The goal is to streamline the product lineup and enhance the direction of the Mac Pro, with updates planned up to 2025. Stay tuned for more updates on Apple's next-gen silicon developments.

In this segment, it is discussed that Apple is preparing to produce a new series of processors, possibly the M4, which will have significant changes compared to previous lineups. Apple aimed to be first to use the 3nm process, utilizing a stop-gap solution called n3b until the full 3nm process is ready. The M4 chips will utilize improvements in the mainstream version of TSMC’s 3nm process (n3e). Apple may skip the M3 Ultra and move directly to an M4 variant. Rumors suggest production has started on the M4, M4 Pro, and M4 Max lineup with potential code names Donan (baseline), Brava (Pro and Max), and Hydra (Ultra). These chips are expected to be used in various Apple devices, including MacBooks, iMacs, Mac Minis, MacBook Pros, and the Mac Pro.

In this part of the video, it is mentioned that Apple is focusing on AI with improved silicon and neural engine to enhance AI performance. The M3 neural engine is reported to be 60% faster than the M1. Apple is likely to introduce more AI-focused features in the upcoming M4 chip. Additionally, a sponsor, ivoni, launched a Fusion dock Max one designed for Apple silicon Mac users with multiple ports, including Thunderbolt connections, USB, HDMI, and more. The dock can support multiple monitors and is powered by two Thunderbolt chips. This dock is highlighted for its suitability for Apple users who primarily use USB-C and HDMI connections.

In this segment of the video, it is discussed that Apple may introduce the Ultra Fusion Bridge technology to combine M1 or M2 Max chips to create an M3 Ultra variant. It is speculated that Apple may drop efficiency cores from its Ultra high-end chips and increase memory support to 512 GB. The new M4-based Max chips are expected to be released starting this fall and continue into 2025. There are rumors about Apple potentially releasing an M4 version of the Mac Pro at WWDC, followed by an M4 Ultra variant in 2025. The idea is to avoid confusion and cannibalization in the market and refine the direction of the Mac Pro.
