Although the MacBookPro of the M1 Max and M1 Pro chips has been on the market for nearly two months, its price is expensive, and many small partners are still waiting to see its running performance. Recently, a foreign friend who bought a 16-inch MacBookPro gave the creators a dose of "reassurance pills".
After testing, Stephen Shanklan found that the new 16-inch MacBook Pro with M1 Max+32GB of RAM was 4.8 times faster than the 16-inch old MacBook Pro he had previously used with the built-in 6-core Core i7 (using Adobe Lightroom to synthesize 6 RAW photos). The M1 Max version of the MacBook Pro takes nearly 14 seconds, while the i7 version takes 67 seconds. Even in the smallest gap of three 30-megapixel RAW to HDR test projects, the M1 Max still achieved about 1.9 times ahead of the Core i7.
It is reported that Adobe Lightroom was quickly optimized after the advent of M1 Max, including adapting its unified memory architecture (reducing the repeated replication of CALL data by CPUGPU) and releasing the computing power of AI units.

Since apple replaced the M1 chip, Apple has regained its right to speak in the field of computers. In this year's new M1 Max/Pro MacBook Pro products, it is not difficult to see that Apple has produced products that are more in line with their own ideas - notebooks with super creative production capabilities, so for creators, macBooks with M1 chips are a better choice. On the other hand, Apple's M1 chip is not omnipotent, because there are still very few games that are compatible with arm architecture. However, once Apple breaks through this bottleneck, then the PC industry may usher in a new change.
