Memory bandwidth (GB/s)
120
Bandwidth basis
120 GB/s is the published base-M4 unified-memory bandwidth (the 10-core GPU Mac mini / MacBook Pro configuration). Stated here because the benchmark comment gives core count and RAM but not bandwidth.
Unified memory
yes
Consumer part
yes
notes
Base Apple M4 as measured in llama.cpp discussion #4167 comment 16886673: Mac mini, 10 CPU cores, 24 GB unified memory, macOS 26.4. The comment does not print a GPU-core count, so this record is the base M4 (8- or 10-core GPU) and not the M4 Pro or M4 Max, both of which already have records. Bandwidth is the published 120 GB/s figure for that configuration, not a number from the benchmark comment. memory_bus_bit is null: Apple publishes bandwidth only.
