During its Unleashed Event, Apple unveiled its brand new M1 Max and M1 Pro SOCs which feature a brand new CPU and GPU architecture based on TSMC's 5nm process node. Apple also fired back at high-end gaming laptops, claiming similar GPU performance with much lower power draw.
The Apple M1 Max and M1 Pro feature a brand new chip architecture which is comprised of 10 cores, 8 high-performance cores of which are based on an ultra-wide execution architecture, & 2 high-efficiency cores which are based on a wide execution architecture. Both SOCs are based on the bleeding edge 5nm process node and feature a 32 core and 16 core GPU, respectively. So let's dive into the details. The Apple M1 Max features up to 57 Billion transistors while the M1 Pro rocks 33.7 Billion transistors in total.
