Seems like the Global Chip shortage didn’t affect Apple in the slightest. less than a year ago, Apple has showcased its silicon prowess with M1 and now they’re back with two new chips this time around — M1 Pro and M1 Max. The all-new MacBook Pro is powered by these two chips.

“With massive gains in CPU and GPU performance, up to six times the memory bandwidth, a new media engine with ProRes accelerators, and other advanced technologies, M1 Pro and M1 Max take Apple silicon even further, and are unlike anything else in a pro notebook,” said Johny Srouji, Apple’s senior vice president of Hardware Technologies.

The M1 Pro and M1 Max will now bring system-on-a-chip (SoC) architecture to pro level Mac machines. To accommodate this Apple bought some huge performance gains to its new line of silicon. The new chips feature up to a 10-core CPU, 32-core GPU, 64GB of unified memory and delivers up to 70 percent faster CPU performance than M1. Here’s everything you need to know about M1 Pro and M1 Max.
