Apple's M4, M4 Pro, and M4 Max compared to past generations, and to each other
M4 and M4 Pro get core count bumps; M4 Max relies on architectural improvements.
That’s not a game-changing development performance-wise (the “E” in “E-core” does not stand for “exciting”), but we’ve seen over and over again in chips from Apple, Intel, and others that adding more efficiency cores does meaningfully improve CPU performance in heavily multithreaded tasks. This implies a less-impressive year-over-year jump, but it's worth noting that we still don't know the clock speeds for any of these cores or how the extra memory bandwidth might improve performance.
