> or Apple’s silicon game is racing far ahead of what I considered possible

Gruber's strange assumption here is that a new number means some major improvements. Apple has never really been consistent about sticking to patterns in product releases.



This is a major improvement (over the M3).

It's on a new fab node size.

It also have more CPU cores than it's predessor (M3 with 8-core vs M4 with 10-cores).


It's on TSMC n3E which is a slightly less dense but better yielding than the previous n3B.
