When it comes to graphical performance, the 16-core M1 Pro GPU offers 9.2 times faster 4K render in Final Cut Pro compared to the M1. Apple claims this gives the M1 Pro a 70% increase in CPU performance against the M1 chip.Īpple also says that the 10-core CPU in the M1 Pro and M1 Max allows for 3.7 times faster project builds using Xcode, and up to three times more Amp Designer plug-ins in Logic Pro compared to the M1-powered MacBook Pro 13-inch. Meanwhile, the high-efficiency cores of the M1 Pro have 128KB instruction cache, 64KB data cache and 4MB L2 cache. The high-performance cores have a 192KB instruction cache, 128KB data cache and 24MB L2 cache. However, for less intensive tasks, such as browsing the web, the high-efficiency cores can be used, helping to preserve battery life. If you're doing something intensive, the high-performance cores are used for increased speed. The M1 Pro will switch between these depending on what you're doing. When it comes to the processor, the M1 Pro has eight high-performance cores and two high-efficiency cores.

The M1 Pro also has 33.7 billion transistors, more than double the M1 chip. This should allow data to be moved to and from the memory extremely quickly, leading to overall faster performance. The memory bandwidth is 200GB/s, which is almost three times the bandwidth of the M1. It also supports up to 32GB of unified memory, which Apple claims is 'high bandwidth, low latency. It has a dual-chip architecture, as with the M1, that consists of a processor (CPU) and graphics (GPU). So, what do the specs tell us about the chips? Let's start with the M1 Pro.
