There are also differences in the amount of Unified Memory available to use, as the Pro starts at 16GB with a 32GB option, whereas the Max starts at 32GB with a 64GB option.īoth also have their own onboard Media Engine, an element for video content that can decode and encode H.264, HEVC, ProRes, and ProRes RAW content in hardware. The M1 Max, which uses the same configuration as the ten-core M1 Pro, ups that bandwidth to 400GB/s. The M1 Pro, which is available in an eight-core version using two efficiency cores and six performance cores, as well as a ten-core version that adds another two performance cores to the mix, has up to 200GB/s of bandwidth with that Unified Memory.

This last point is where one of the crucial differences in the chips lies. The second round of Apple Silicon introduces quite a few changes to what Apple established with the impressive M1, alterations that make it an even more useful system-on-chip for creative professionals.įor a start, there are two variants named M1 Pro and M1 Max, which incorporate a CPU, GPU, 16-core Neural Engine, and other essential components that are connected to Unified Memory. This gives it a great pixel density of 254 pixels per inch. That Liquid Retina XDR Display is also high-resolution, at 3,024 by 1,964. That means you're also getting a potential refresh rate of up to 120Hz, double the 13-inch and older models. This time around, you also get ProMotion, so the screen will automatically adjust its refresh rate depending on the content you are viewing. We're talking 1,000 nits of full-screen brightness, rising to 1,600 nits for peak brightness, as well as a 1 million to one contrast ratio, and the typical Wide color (P3) and True Tone support. Six-speaker system with force-canceling woofers,īeyond notch drama, the display incorporates Mini LED enabling near-OLED levels of color accuracy, contrast, and brightness.
