During its October key event, Apple introduced two new Apple Silicon designed for Mac – the Apple M1 Pro and Apple M1 Max. The duo builds on the architecture and performance of last year’s Apple M1 and as such, their 10-core CPU delivers up to 70-percent faster performance than the M1 (8-core). The GPU performance on the M1 Pro is up to 2x faster while the M1 Max is up to 4x faster.

Continuing the performance details, the M1 Pro delivers up to 1.7x faster CPU performance and up to 7x faster GPU performance when compared to latest 8-core PC laptop chip. The Pro uses to 70-percent less power (CPU) while the M1 Max uses 40-percent less power (GPU). Powering the all-new MacBook Pro (14-inch and 16-inch), the M1 Pro and M1 Max are manufactured using the same 5nm process as the M1. The Pro packs 33.7 billion transistors, supports up to 32GB RAM and delivers up to 200GB/s memory bandwidth while the Max packs almost double the transistors (57 billion), supports 64GB RAM and delivers 400GB/s memory bandwidth.
