M4 Max chip leaked by Apple itself – CPU is likely to power new MacBook Pro laptops that are about to be revealed

Apple’s week of Mac-related announcements should build to a crescendo coming pinch nan motorboat of nan MacBook Pro M4, and these laptops will transportation not conscionable nan vanilla M4 and M4 Pro chips, but besides nan M4 Max, according to a freshly spotted clue.

Developer Charlie Joseph posted connected X to item nan beingness of an image plus showing nan ‘M4 Max’ spot which was concisely connected Apple’s website – arsenic you mightiness expect, it was quickly removed.

So, it looks for illustration personification astatine Apple was a spot sloppy here, and Joseph managed to spot nan plus that’d been sneaked up successful nan background, pinch well-known leaker Mark Gurman subsequently flagging this up.

It’s a beardown hint that we are astir to spot nan M4 Max, arsenic noted, which is rumored to beryllium offered pinch higher-end MacBook Pro models.

Analysis: Another beardown dream – unified RAM loadouts

What other tin we opportunity astir nan incoming MacBook Pro M4, speech from nan likelihood it will connection options connected nan guidelines M4 chip, positive M4 Pro (already seen successful nan Mac mini, revealed yesterday) and M4 Max (which will beryllium caller and exclusive to nan Pro laptops)? Well, we’d beryllium amazed if Apple didn’t equip nan caller MacBook Pro 14-inch pinch 16GB of RAM astatine nan entry-level (as is already nan lawsuit pinch nan 16-inch flavor).

That’s because some nan iMac M4 (which was revealed first this week, connected Monday) and Mac mini M4 person 16GB of Unified Memory astatine nan very minimum, truthful it would beryllium a ridiculous determination not to equip a laptop aimed astatine master users pinch this magnitude of RAM (as antecedently rumored). Especially arsenic it seems to beryllium basal for Apple Intelligence, nan caller AI abilities that nan M4 is designed astir (partly, anyway, pinch a overmuch peppier NPU connected committee this clip around).

While Apple Intelligence tin tally pinch 8GB of RAM (as seen connected nan iPad Pro), this isn’t ideal, and it whitethorn time off you thin for representation erstwhile moving aggregate apps connected a Mac – peculiarly successful nan future, arsenic AI functionality is doubtless developed further by Apple.
