Introducing M1 Pro and M1 Max: the most powerful chips Apple has ever built M1 Pro and M1 Max are by far the most powerful chips Apple has ever built. M1 Pro and M1 Max also feature enhanced media engines with dedicated ProRes accelerators specifically for pro video processing. The efficient architecture of M1 Pro and M1 Max means they deliver the same level of performance whether MacBook Pro is plugged in or using the battery. And while the latest PC laptops top out at 16GB of graphics memory, having this huge amount of memory enables graphics-intensive workflows previously unimaginable on a notebook. M1 Max delivers up to 400GB/s of memory bandwidth - 2x that of M1 Pro and nearly 6x that of M1 - and support for up to 64GB of unified memory.
M1 Pro offers up to 200GB/s of memory bandwidth with support for up to 32GB of unified memory. The chips feature fast unified memory, industry-leading performance per watt, and incredible power efficiency, along with increased memory bandwidth and capacity. M1 Pro and M1 Max introduce a system-on-a-chip (SoC) architecture to pro systems for the first time.
