The chips that power the new MacBook Pro feature a 10-core CPU, a 32-core GPU, 64 GB of unified memory, a ProRes accelerator card and the best energy efficiency on the market.
Apple today announced the launch of revolutionary new chips for the Mac, M1 Pro and M1 Max. Developed on the basis of the transformational architecture of the M1 chip, the M1 Pro delivers spectacular performance and offers the best energy efficiency in the market, while the M1 Max pushes the limits of power even further. The central processor (CPU) built into the M1 Pro and M1 Max chips offers up to 70% faster performance than the CPU of the M1 chip, allowing certain tasks, such as compiling Xcode projects, to be done faster than ever. The M1 Pro chip’s GPU is up to 2x faster than that of the M1 chip, while that of the M1 Max chip achieves the feat of being up to 4x faster,
With the M1 Pro and M1 Max chips, this is the first time that a system-on-chip (SoC) architecture has been integrated into a pro system. These chips deliver fast unified memory, unmatched performance per watt, exceptional power efficiency, and expanded memory bandwidth and capabilities. The M1 Pro offers up to 200 GB / s of memory bandwidth and up to 32 GB of unified memory. The M1 Max, on the other hand, offers up to 400 GB / s of memory bandwidth – double the M1 Pro chip and nearly 6 times more than the M1 chip – and up to 64 GB of unified memory. At a time when the latest laptop models do not exceed 16 GB of graphics memory, Having this very large amount of memory allows for demanding graphics tasks that were not previously possible on a laptop computer. The energy-efficient architecture of the M1 Pro and M1 Max chips enables them to deliver the same level of performance whether the MacBook Pro is plugged into AC power or running on battery power. In addition, the M1 Pro and M1 Max are equipped with improved media engines including ProRes accelerator cards dedicated to pro video processing. The M1 Pro and M1 Max chips are by far the most powerful chips Apple has ever made. the M1 Pro and M1 Max are equipped with improved media engines including ProRes accelerator cards dedicated to pro video processing.

“The M1 chip has transformed our most popular computers, providing them with incredible performance, tailored technologies and the best energy efficiency on the market. Until now, no one has ever integrated a system on a chip into a professional computer. It’s done with the M1 Pro and M1 Max chips, ”said Johny Srouji, Senior Vice President of Hardware Technologies at Apple. “Thanks to the extraordinary increase in CPU and GPU performance, the six-fold increase in bandwidth, the new media engine with ProRes accelerator cards and other advanced technologies, the M1 Pro and M1 Max chips allow the chip Apple to push its limits and stand out from other technologies equipping pro laptops. “
Two new pro chips for unmatched performance
The M1 Pro and M1 Max chips revolutionize the experience offered by the MacBook Pro and mark a major step forward for the Mac in the transition to the Apple chip. On the MacBook Pro with M1 Pro and M1 Max chips, this is the first time that a system-on-a-chip (SoC) architecture has been integrated into a pro system, delivering fast unified memory and greater memory bandwidth for unmatched performance, unmatched performance per watt and the best energy efficiency on the market.
The M1 Pro chip takes the innovative architecture of the M1 chip to new heights. With a powerful CPU with up to 10 cores, including eight high-performance cores and two energy-efficient cores, and a GPU with up to 16 cores, the M1 Pro chip delivers processing performance of up to 70% faster than that of the M1 chip, and graphics performance up to 2 times faster. The M1 Pro chip also offers up to 200 GB / s of memory bandwidth, which is almost 3 times the bandwidth of the M1 chip, and up to 32 GB of fast unified memory. Designed to dramatically speed up professional video production workflows, the M1 Pro chip features a media engine enriched with a ProRes accelerator card and enables incredibly fast and power efficient video processing.
