Apple (AAPL) was so excited to release its M4 chip that they put it in the iPad first. According to Apple, “the M4 has a blazing-fast Neural Engine — an IP block in the chip dedicated to the acceleration of AI workloads. It’s Apple’s most powerful Neural Engine ever, capable of an astounding 38 trillion operations per second — a breathtaking 60x faster than the first Neural Engine in A11 Bionic.”

Said differently, the M4 is built for AI.

In practice, this means that all of the rumors about Apple’s commitment to AI are based in truth. Will we see Apple actually call out AI features (as opposed to AI benefits, which is its standard operating procedure)?

Neural Engine is now a thing. Get ready for a major shift in the AI landscape. Apple is clearly consumer AI ready.
