lurch a laptop computer chip , with CPU and GPU heart that partake the memory , against a 300 - W graphics card that be almost £ 6k/$6k . That can only turn out mischievously correct ? For the expensive graphics calling card !
You may be frightened by the cost , especially for the M1 Max role model , but the purchase of a 14 in or 16 in MacBook Pro could in reality be viewed as a bargain . The 32 nontextual matter essence do a very unspoiled job , according tobenchmarks .
Chief developer ofAffinity PhotoAndy Sommerfeld has run tests on the new MacBooks Pro and compared benchmarks of his practical software when run on Apple ’s new machines with those of the almost £ 6k/$6k gamy - goal graphics batting order AMD Radeon Pro W6900X , which was built into a 12 - core Mac Pro . Apple offer this card as a build - to - lodge choice for the Mac Pro which add an extra rush of £ 5,600/$5,600 to the cost of the £ 5,499/$5,999 machine . Apple also sells the mental faculty separately for £ 6k/$6k .
The#M1Maxis the fast GPU we have ever measured in the@affinitybyserifPhoto benchmark . It outperforms the W6900X – a $ 6000 , 300W desktop part – because it has Brobdingnagian compute performance , immense on - buffalo chip bandwidth and immediate conveyance of datum on and off the GPU ( UMA).pic.twitter.com / iPg3L56y2u
His benchmarks indicate that the more low-priced MacBook Pro can pound the high - end desktop with its 300 - watt GPU .
The M1 Max offers three advantages : high computing performance , high internal bandwidth and degraded transfer from and to the GPU . Thus , Apple ’s new SoC is the libertine GPU ever evaluate with the @affinitybyserif Photo Benchmark .
New core chips from Intel can keep up
However , Winfuturereports on CPU bench mark that Intel ’s new Alder Lake chip , the i9 - 12900HK , is just onwards of the M1 Pro and Max in the tests of a pre - series model , which are equipped with a sum of ten central processor cores ( eight for high carrying into action , two for efficiency ) .
Bare Feats has also published a readiness of test of the M1 Max MacBook Pro that show that the MacBook Pro with M1 Max can beat Apple ’s high end screen background . More here : M1 Max beats Mac Pro benchmarks again .
