In MacRumors‘ latest YouTube video, the entry-level 14-inch MacBook Pro with an M1 Pro chip is pitted against the high-end 16-inch MacBook Pro with an M1 Max chip to see just what you’re getting with the upgrade to the M1 Max.
In our testing, the M1 Max unsurprisingly outperformed the lower-end M1 Pro chip, but what was a bit of a surprise was how well even the base M1 Pro chip did in our tests.
In Final Cut Pro, a video export test saw the M1 Max machine export a 6-minute 4K video in one minute and 49 seconds, a task that took the M1 Pro 2 minute and 55 seconds.
In a Blender test, a complicated image of a classroom was rendered in just 8 minutes and 23 seconds on the M1 Max MacBook Pro, a process that took the M1 Pro MacBook Pro 10 minutes and 58 seconds.
MacDailyNews Take: M1 Pro, the M1 Max, or the M1, for that matter – any one of them is far better than the best that beleaguered, antiquated, outmoded (literally) Intel can offer.
