M1-equipped MacBook Pros are true workhorses and possibly, pound-for-pound, the best-performing laptops on the market.Īs for the 5.9-times faster GPU performance claim? Apple said that increase was observed using Final Cut Pro, Unity Editor, Shapr 3D and Shadow of the Tomb Raider rendering 3D titles, at least when compared to previous 13-inch Intel-powered MacBook Pros. That’s from where the 2.8-times faster metric mentioned earlier derives. In the iPad Pro, Apple’s M1 chip produces better CPU and graphics performance translating to faster augmented reality development, higher video frame rates, improved graphics speed and image editing and overall quicker operation.Īs for Xcode rendering using Final Cut Pro, Affinity Photo and Logic Pro, Apple said its tests show the M1-equipped 13-inch MacBook Pro is 2.8-times faster completing builds versus the previous 13-inch MacBook Pro. Previous iPad Pro performance was already impressive, which makes the new M1 version’s envelope that much more remarkable. Why is that important? The result is up to 15 times faster performance for your MacBook Pro or iPad Pro when performing such machine learning tasks as automation, video analysis, voice recognition, image processing and similar functions.
The Neural Engine can manage 11 trillion operations per second. SEE: Apple Unleashed: New MacBooks are expected-here’s what business pros want (TechRepublic)įinally, the M1 boasts 16 Neural Engine cores. With the eight cores capable of running nearly 25,000 threads simultaneously and supporting up to 2.6 teraflops of throughput, according to Apple, the GPU manages highly demanding graphics calculations quickly, which translates to smoother 4K and 8K video playback and 3D graphics and image rendering. The M1 also packs 8 GPU cores, which accelerate playing high-resolution videos and rendering 3D graphics. Four of those CPU cores are for performance, boosting Xcode compile rates and mastering audio, for example, and four are dedicated to efficiency, such as coordinating and executing multithreaded tasks. The M1 is actually a single SoC packing eight CPU cores. Previously Macs (like PCs) typically leveraged an architecture in which multiple chips were used to perform the individual CPU, input and output, security functions and other tasks. In case you’re into the numbers, with 16 billion transistors the M1 system-on-a-chip packs extra punch by integrating the CPU, GPU, Neural Engine, input and output functions and even security operations on a single chip. How does that break down in real English?īecause Apple’s M1 Silicon chip combines high-bandwidth and low-latency memory into a single pool, all the chip’s components can access the same data without having to first copy that data between multiple memory locations, thereby boosting efficiencies and, ultimately, performance. The M1 also boasts Apple’s most advanced Neural Engine. The Apple M1 chip in the 13-inch MacBook Pro provides up to 2.8-times faster CPU performance and up to five times faster graphics performance than previous Intel models. Jack Wallen observed this fact in May when he wrote the TechRepublic article Apple M1 MacBook Pro is the speed king of his work day.
The short answer is yes, the M1-powered systems are truly fast. SEE: M1 MacBook Pro vs M1 iPad Pro: Which is quickest in the real world? (free PDF) (TechRepublic) Is the same true with computers? Do new M1-powered Macs and iPad Pros really perform quickly, and how do they compare? I’ve gone on record stating the M1 iPad Pros can replace a Mac. To achieve a published acceleration rate for a specific car, for example, you might require just a quarter tank of gas, no passengers, the A/C off and the car to be pointed downhill to even get close.
