> 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.
