Last year, Apple released the M1 chip, integrated 15 billion transistors, 5nm process, and replaced the Intel chip that had been used for several years with m1 in its own Macbook, which has been called wude by everyone.
Because the m1 chip has lower power consumption, low heat, stronger performance, and the use of arm architecture, which opens up the ecology of ios\macos, it is a complete blow to intel+windows, so everyone thinks that Apple is not talking about martial arts.
I didn't think that a year later, Apple did not talk about martial arts this time, completely according to Intel in the fight, launched a more frightening M1 chip upgrade, this time is two chips, namely m1 pro chip and m1 max chip.
First of all, the M1 pro chip, although it is also 5 nm, but the number of transistors directly doubled to 33.7 billion, it is conceivable that the performance will be much stronger.
M1 pro chip, 10 core CPU, 8 high-performance cores and 2 high-efficiency cores, 70% higher than M1. The GPU is up to 16 cores and is more than 3 times faster than m1. There is also a 16-core NPU.
Looking at the M1 max chip, it is also 5nm, but the number of transistors has increased to 57 billion, and in terms of CPU, M1 max is the same as M1 pro, with a 10 core design. However, in terms of GPU, it is increased to a maximum of 32 cores, which is more than 4 times faster than m1, and npu is also 16 cores.
In addition, the two chips are also unified memory, that is, the memory and the chip are concentrated together, which makes the operation faster.
Many people may not understand these parameters, so how strong these two chips are, but also compared with Intel, this time Apple also compared.
M1 pro/m1 max compared to the original macbook pro used by the intel i7 chip, the performance is 3.7 times stronger, compared to the original use of the i9 top chip, 2.1 times stronger.
In terms of GPU, compared with the radeon pro 5600m (8gb) equipped with the original 16-inch model, the two chips are 1.7 times and 2.9 times stronger, respectively, if compared with the original Intel integrated chip, 9.2 times and 13.4 times stronger, respectively.
It can be seen that these two chips are not described by hanging, but by solitude, whether in the CPU, or in the GPU, there is no opponent at all.
Apple launched a series of chips, which have no opponent in mobile phone chips, and are at least a generation ahead of Android chips.
This time Apple only launched the second generation of computer chip m1 pro/m1 max, it is completely hanging Intel, amd, once again in the computer chip has no opponent, the leading generation is estimated to be more than enough, which is enough to prove how powerful Apple's level in chips. It is estimated that intel, amd opposite this situation, the whole person is not good, can only say that Apple really does not talk about martial arts.
