- What it is
- Apple's May 2024 announcement of the M4 chip, which states the performance of its Neural Engine in trillions of operations per second.
- How much weight it carries
- Vendor press release, so the figures are Apple's own peak claims under its own test conditions. Useful for the stated capability of the chip, not for measured speech recognition speed.
Facts taken from this source
- Apple says the Neural Engine in its M4 chip can reach up to 38 trillion operations per second, faster than the neural processing unit of any AI PC at the time.
