The other major development that will appeal to most users is the fact the efficiency of the new silicon means that battery life has seen a massive improvement. If the UMA works as Apple says it does, then it could be a major step forward for the Mac. This could explain why the maximum amount is 16GB as opposed to the 32GB that’s available on the remaining Intel Pros. It’s called Unified Memory Architecture, and should mean it can access data much quicker, as there’s no need to copy it out to the other memory locations. One of the most interesting innovations in the M1 is the fact that Apple has incorporated the memory into the SoC rather than as external chips, as you’d find on the Intel versions.

#FINALE MAC M1 PRO#
Not too shabby.Īpple does claim that the new MacBook Pro (M1) is the “world’s fastest compact pro notebook”, but we’ll have to see it running in lab conditions against the competition before we can accept that statement. New M1 Macs are getting rave reviews, so the improvements must be proving themselves true.Īpple does give some specific figures when it comes to the M1, with rendering a complex 3D title in Final Cut Pro being up to 5.9x faster, the ability to perform machine learning tasks in Create ML up to 11x faster, and playing back full-quality, 8K ProRes video in DaVinci Resolve without dropping a single frame. These advances should give the new models a serious advantage when it comes to rendering video, editing photos, coding, and even gaming. Apple claims that the CPU is up to 2.8x faster than the previous generation MacBook Pro and that the GPU is up to 5x faster than its predecessor. The M1 comes with an eight core CPU and an eight core GPU, which combine to deliver some serious power. Well, now that they’re here, it seems like Apple was right to take this route. Since Apple announced that it was intending to ditch Intel and go with its own chips, there has been a massive amount of anticipation surrounding the first products that would arrive with this feature.
