A CPU’s thermal design power (TDP) in watts is a better predictor of performance than its gigahertz clock speed because some of the weakest laptop and phone chips can “boost” up to multiple gigahertz these days. Image: Appleīut you shouldn’t knock that fan, because here’s a little-known fact about today’s CPUs: they can almost all run far faster if you give them better cooling. (I guess it’s been a long time since manila envelopes were a thing.) Compare the MacBook Pro’s dimensions. I mean, yes, it is a little bit hilarious the MacBook Air is now a laptop that doesn’t blow air, just like it’s amusing that the Air technically continues to be a thicker laptop than the 13-inch Pro. This fan, which is exclusive to the MacBook Pro: The 13-inch MacBook Pro’s fan. I’m not joking when I say: the biggest difference is a fan.
They’ve got the same M1 processor, the same memory and storage options, the same ports, and very similar screens. The only device we haven’t personally tested is the 8-core CPU, 14-core GPU of the M1 Pro in the $1,999 14-inch MacBook Pro, but online benchmarks show CPU performance around 20 percent slower than the 10-core CPU, 16-core GPU M1 Pro.It’s been a little bit weird that Apple would sell both a 13-inch MacBook Air and a 13-inch MacBook Pro simultaneously, but perhaps never more than today - because Apple’s new $999 and $1,299 laptops seem nearly identical if you look beyond the differently curved frames. Processorġ3” MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, 24″ iMac, Mac miniĪs Jason Snell pointed out, the M1 Max separates itself from the M1 Pro with its graphics performance-the 32 core GPU gives it a big boost. It will get more complicated as Apple introduces a new generation of chips and keeps older ones for affordability. Right now, all of the Mac processors are based on the M1 Apple then modifies it to create higher- and lower-end versions.
Because we’re dealing with the first generation of Apple silicon Macs, it’s a lot easier to understand the differences between the chips.
