引证

  1. [1] Apple M4 Max: 16-core Neural Engine @ 38 TOPS, unified memory architecture (UMA) up to 128 GB LPDDR5X with 546 GB/s bandwidth shared with GPU/CPU. ~11 W package TDP for ANE portion. — https://www.apple.com/mac/m4/ · 访问于 2026-04-29 厂商声称
⚠ Apple M4 NPU rating is 38 TOPS at INT8 precision; FP16 is roughly 38 TFLOPS via Metal Performance Shaders.
⚠ Unified memory means the 128 GB capacity is shared across CPU/GPU/ANE; for inference, expect ~80-100 GB usable.
⚠ No multi-card scaling: single-package only. World-size=1 reflects this.
⚠ Energy efficiency (3.4 TOPS/W) is the strongest of any accelerator in the corpus — relevant for edge / on-device.
