Apple had recently announced the 14 inch hand 16 inch MacBook Pro laptops. These feature its new and powerful custom processors, including the M1 Pro and M1 Max chipsets. Now, early benchmarks has revealed that the high end M1 Max CPU performance is up to two times better than the M1 while its GPU could rival the Sony PS5.
For those unaware, the M1 Max chip features 10 core CPU and 32 core GPU. In a benchmarking result on Geekbench, the processor scored 1,749 points in single core and 11,542 points in multi core. This implies that the multi core score is double that of the previously launched M1 chip on the 13 inch MacBook Pro. Based on the performance of the M1 chip, NotebookCheck also shared its expectations for the GPU’s performance.
As per the report, the M1’s 8 core GPU offers 2.6 TF, so the the M1 Pro’s 14 core version could offer around 4.5 TF, while the M1 Pro with 16 core could offer 5.2 TF. On the other hand, the M1 Max 24 core could offer 7.8 TF and its 32 core could offer an impressive 10.4 TF. Keep in mind this is a rough estimate and not official so take it with a pinch of salt. Although, this estimate does offer us an interesting look at its potential GPU power.
While the M1 Max draws up to 100W less power than a high end laptop with a discrete GPU, its 32 core’s estimated performance seemingly rivals the desktop grade Nvidia RTX 2080 GPU, which offers 10.07 TF, and even the Sony’s latest PlayStation 5 that offers 10.28 TF. Despite this, the Cupertino based giant claims that the M1 Max can offer up to 21 hours of battery life.
