This is the spec I chose…Īpple M1 Max with 10-core CPU, 32-core GPU, 16-core Neural Engine Also, there has been a boost to the charging speed too as the system sees the MagSafe connection as part of the Apple Ecosystem.Īs I wanted a computer that could last another 8 years, I decided to get the best one I could. The larger 16-inch model has a resolution of 3456 x 2234 pixels and can support up to 4 external displays as well as the built-in screen.Ĭompared to the fastest PC laptop Apple could find, the M1 Max uses 100W less power with similar performance with Machine Learning tasks between 3 and 20 times faster than before.Īs expected MagSafe makes a welcome return to Apple’s laptops, following it making its iPhone debut with the iPhone 12 release last year. The new 2nd-gen M1 Max chip has 32 graphics cores, whereas the M1 Pro comes with 16 graphics cores. The difference is in the GPU part of the SoC. The second chip is the M1 Max, the CPU part is the same on both chips, with a 10-core processor made up of eight high-performance cores and two energy-efficient cores. The 14-inch model has a screen resolution of 3024 x 1964 pixels and it can support up to 2 external displays as well as the built-in screen. This compares to 8 CPU cores, four high-performance cores and four energy-efficient cores and only 8 graphics cores with 32GB of RAM. The new 2nd-gen chip has 16 graphics cores. With the new Apple Silicon M1 Pro, the CPU part is the same on both chips, with a 10-core processor made up of eight high-performance cores and two energy-efficient cores.
Which One Did I Go For? M1 Pro Or M1 Max?
As you can see my 2012 MacBook Pro has served me well, but with Apple releasing their first ‘pro’ Apple Silicon machines, rather than the entry-level 1st gen MacBook Pro laptops, and I am retiring at the end of 2021, I decided now was the time to press the button on a replacement for my 8-year-old Apple laptop, in the hope that this one would last me another 8 years.
