Today (18) to Apple officially announced in a online event your new processors M1 Pro e M1 Max, respectively. they are a upgrade straight from the chip M1 launched last year with the MacBook Air, MacBook Pro 13″ and the Mac Mini 2020 entry. 2e2u5q
Although the 1 M2020 was already very interesting and powerful - you can check the details in the matter of processor launch — it was just the gateway for Apple to replace the processors Intel on entry-level and intermediate Macs. With the new versions, all models, from the simplest to the top of the line, will be covered with processors made by Apple itself.
Meet the M1 Pro and M1 Max 2e2y6o
Apple's new processors bring with them the successes of the original version of the M1, such as being more economical. Both are manufactured in a 5 nanometer process and promise big leaps in performance.
Although both are powerful, they have some differences, which will be pointed out below.
M1 Pro, the mighty 6s622x
A Apple promises a significant improvement of 70% in U and twice as much in GPU compared to M1 last year. The difference here is that, although the basic architecture of the processor is the same as last year, it has now undergone an improvement in hardware, having a U of 10 cores, 8 of them for performance and 2 for efficiency. To complete the kit, it has 16 cores for the graphics chip.
The new chip now s more RAM, reaching up to 32 GB (however, this memory is linked to the chip, so no chance of future upgrades) and 200 GB/s of memory bandwidth, that is, it can handle a lot at once.
For those curious, the chip has 33.7 billion transistors, double what it had in the original M1.
M1 Max, the even more powerful 4hh4o
But Apple wasn't satisfied with just releasing a powerful new processor. She came and also brought the new Max M1, which brings with it the same U configurations with 10 cores of the M1 Pro, being 8 for performance and 2 for efficiency.
The great highlight of the M1 Max, however, is in its other aspects. Starting with the graphics, its GPU has 32 cores, 4,096 execution units and 4 times the performance of the original M1.
The memory and RAM bandwidth here is double that of the M1 Pro (400GB/s and up to 64GB, respectively) and the chip has 57 billion transistors, making it the largest chip ever created by Apple. Furthermore, the new M1 Max allows you to connect up to 4 external displays on a single device.
How much better are the M1 Pro and M1 Max compared to other chips? 319p
If we are to compare with the original M1 itself, we had a processor with architecture ARM with 8 cores, 4 for performance for the heaviest things and 4 for efficiency, which improved battery life.
In of graphics, the M1 offered two variants: 7 cores or 8 cores, depending on the model and only allowed 8 or 16Gb of RAM.
With the new models, all this has improved. According to Apple, the new chips offer an improvement of about 1,7x more U performance per Watt compared to both the original M1 and any other 4-core or 8-core notebook processor on the market. It is important to note that they did not specify the exact processor models of the other laptops.
And it's not just in of U that the new processors excel when it comes to saving energy. As you can see in the graph, compared to a high-end PC, the Max M1 uses 100W less.
The optimization of M1 Pro It has a dedicated system for professional video codecs, called ProRes, enabling multiple high-quality streams — in 4K or 8K — using little power. With the M1 Max this optimization goes even further, delivering up to 2x faster video decoding speed than the M1 Pro.
And you, what do you think of Apple's new processors? In addition to them, we also had the announcement of the new MacBook Pro.
