Adam Kos At Monday's event, Apple showed the world its new M1 Pro and M1 Max chips. Both are intended for the company's professional portable computers, when it first installed them in the 14 and 16" MacBook Pros. Even if the M1 Max is indeed a terrifyingly fast monster, many may be more interested in the lower Pro series due to its more affordable price.
Apple says the M1 Pro chip takes the exceptional performance of the M1 architecture to a whole new level. And there is no reason not to trust him, because it is evident that he takes into account the demands of truly professional users. It has up to 10 CPU cores, up to 16 GPU cores, a 16-core Neural Engine and dedicated media engines that support H.264, HEVC and ProRes encoding and decoding. He will handle even the most ambitious projects that you prepare for him with a reserve.
- Up to 10-core CPUs
- Up to 16 core GPUs
- Up to 32 GB of unified memory
- Memory bandwidth up to 200 GB/s
- Support for two external displays
- Playback of up to 20 streams of 4K ProRes video
- Superior energy efficiency
A whole new level of performance and capability
The M1 Pro uses cutting-edge 5nm process technology with 33,7 billion transistors, more than double the amount of the M1 chip. This 10-core chip consists of eight high-performance cores and two high-efficiency cores, so it achieves up to 70% faster calculations than the M1 chip, which of course results in incredible CPU performance. Compared to the latest 8-core chip in a notebook, the M1 Pro provides up to 1,7x higher performance.

The M1 Pro has up to a 16-core GPU that is up to 2x faster than the M1 and up to 7x faster than the integrated graphics in the latest 8-core notebook PC. Compared to a powerful GPU in a PC notebook, the M1 Pro provides this higher performance with up to 70% less power consumption.
