However, these maximum speeds are pretty theoretical, because there was only one scenario where we could reach the maximum speed.
#APPLE MACBOOK G4 LAPTOP PRO#
The fans of the MacBook Pro 16 M1 Max can reach a higher maximum speed (5348 rpm on the left side and 5776 rpm on the right side) compared to the M1 Pro unit (42 rpm, respectively). It will only get louder when you start to stress the 32 GPU cores. Pure CPU load will result in the lowest fan speed (1600 rpm), which is hardly audible at all. The MacBook Pro 16 with the M1 Max processor is silent while idling and during light workloads, because the fans are turned off and there are no other electronic noises (like coil whine), either. However, there is once again the problem that it is an emulated title. Our gaming benchmarks once again show an advantage of around 70-80 percent over the M1 Pro and the performance in Shadow of the Tomb Raider is roughly comparable to fast versions of the GeForce RTX 3060. There are currently only a few native titles and some can be emulated. You can play games on the MacBook Pro 16, but the number of available games is the big limitation. The graphics performance is also completely stable on battery power. The Wild Life Extreme Unlimited benchmark, which is running natively on the MacBook, shows comparable performance figures to the GeForce RTX 3070, even though the M1 Max does not even require half of the power.
We can determine a maximum consumption of 44W for the GPU during the benchmarks, and the results are much better compared to the M1 Pro with 16 GPU cores with an advantage between 60 up to 95 percent. The high-end version of the MacBook with the fastest M1 Max is equipped with four GPU clusters and eight cores each. These will be much faster in practice, but we cannot determine the exact performance advantage. These are emulated via Rosetta 2, and it works, but the performance is noticeably worse compared to the native versions. The M1 Max performs noticeably better than the M1 Pro, but you should be a bit cautious with the results, since the benchmarks are only compatible with the Intel versions of the applications. We also performed the two PugetBench tests for Adobe Photoshop as well as Adobe Premiere Pro. The BlackMagic RAW Speed Test shows the advantage of the larger cache, because the CPU test shows a small advantage of 7 percent. This is also supported by the cross-system benchmark CrossMark, where the two devices are very similar. During everyday tasks or when you only stress the CPU, you will not notice a difference to the entry-level unit with the M1 Pro though. It is not surprising that the high-end SKU of the MacBook is obviously a very powerful and immensely responsive laptop.
