IT Home reported on August 16 that display analyst Ross Young revealed today that display panels for the 14-inch and 16-inch M4 MacBook Pro have been shipped to Apple in July and August.The product is expected to be released in the fourth quarter。

Young shared this information in an X Feed post, confirming rumors that new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros with M4 chips will be launched before the end of the year.

Bloomberg's Mark Gurman also said earlier this month that Apple will update its MacBook Pro, Mac mini and iMac series with M4 chips by the end of 2024.

The revelation shows that14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros to feature M4, M4 Pro, and M4 Max chipsThe entry-level 14-inch model will be equipped with the M4, while the high-end 14-inch and 16-inch models will be equipped with the M4 Pro and M4 Max. Apple first introduced the M4 chip in the iPad Pro in May.

Earlier reports also said that the new MacBook Pro is not expected to be redesigned, but Apple will completely revamp the Mac mini, which is expected to be updated along with the MacBook Pro models. The Mac mini will be smaller, which will be "Apple's smallest computer ever”, which will probably be about the same size as an Apple TV, but slightly taller.

According to IT Home's report in May this year, Apple's M4 chip is built based on the second-generation 3nm process, integrates a total of 28 billion transistors, has a new display engine, and uses a 4-core + 6-core CPU. It is said that the CPU speed is up to 50% higher than M2.

Apple's M4 chip is also equipped with a 10-core GPU, which is 4 times faster than the M2 (rendering performance), bringing dynamic caching, hardware-accelerated ray tracing, and hardware-accelerated mesh shading capabilities to the iPad for the first time; Apple's M4 is also equipped with a 16-core neural network engine with a computing speed of 38 trillion times per second, which is 60 times that of the A11 chip.
