What is the Apple M4?

The M4 is an APU from Apple on the Apple M4 architecture, an processor that pairs CPU and GPU on one chip. It is a system-on-chip, so it is built into edge and embedded devices rather than sold as a card. M4 full specifications →

Can I rent the M4 in the cloud?

Flopper is not tracking any live rental listings for the M4 yet. The provider directory lists the clouds that rent comparable accelerators on demand. GPU cloud providers →

How does the M4 compare with other accelerators?

This page sets the M4 against the M4 Pro. Both parts launched in the same year. Both are Apple parts, and both ship as a system-on-chip, so they fit the same class of system. The compare tool builds the same comparison for any two parts in the catalogue. All GPU comparisons →

Where do the M4 figures come from?

Apple published the M4 figures in marketing material rather than a datasheet, and Flopper has no independent confirmation of them. How Flopper verifies specifications →

Figures are dense. Where a vendor publishes a figure it sits under the dense one and never decides a winner. Hover any precision for its definition, or read the GPU glossary.

FLOPS by Precision

What actually differs

Both launched in 2024, the M4 on Apple M4 and the M4 Pro on Apple M4.

The M4 Pro carries 32 GB more memory (64 GB against 32 GB), so larger models fit on one GPU before you shard. Bandwidth is 120 GB/s against 273 GB/s, which sets the ceiling on decode speed.

Weight the FP8 and FP16 rows for LLM work and the FP64 row for HPC.
