Oct 19, 2021
San Francisco [US], October 19: Apple Monday announced M1 Pro and M1 Max, its next chips for the Mac.
The CPU in M1 Pro and M1 Max delivers up to 70 percent faster CPU performance than M1. The GPU in M1 Pro is up to 2 times faster than M1, while M1 Max is up to 4 times faster than M1, the company said.
M1 Pro offers up to 200GB/s of memory bandwidth with support for up to 32GB of unified memory. M1 Max delivers up to 400GB/s of memory bandwidth and support for up to 64GB of unified memory.
M1 Pro and M1 Max also feature enhanced media engines with dedicated ProRes accelerators specifically for pro video processing. M1 Pro and M1 Max are by far the most powerful chips Apple has ever built, according to the company.
"With massive gains in CPU and GPU performance, up to six times the memory bandwidth, a new media engine with ProRes accelerators, and other advanced technologies, M1 Pro and M1 Max take Apple silicon even further, and are unlike anything else in a pro notebook," said Johny Srouji, Apple's senior vice president of Hardware Technologies.
