The ARM Chip Race: Apple's M4 and Beyond

  • Apple unveiled its new M4 chip, claiming it to be the fastest in the PC market.
  • The M4 chip's CPU is 50% faster than the M2, with built-in Ray tracing and a neural engine capable of 38 trillion operations per second.
  • Major tech companies like Samsung, Google, Microsoft, and Intel are also developing ARM chips.
  • ARM chips are more power-efficient than traditional x86 chips, making them ideal for battery-powered devices and cloud data centers.
  • Apple's M4 chip is designed to run large language models on-device, enhancing privacy and reducing latency.
  • Qualcomm is expected to release the Snapdragon X Elite chip, which could potentially outperform the M4.
  • Despite the rise of ARM chips, x86 technology is deeply embedded in modern infrastructure and is unlikely to disappear anytime soon.
