We'll discuss the potential improvements in detail later, but suffice it to say, these new chips will be a lot faster. The M1 Max steps things up again with 32-cores of graphics processing, up to 64GB of memory and twice the memory bandwidth. The M1 Pro boasts a 10-core design, an integrated 16-core GPU and up to 32GB of unified memory (that's Apple-talk for RAM).
Both chips are beefed up considerably from the original M1 processor. The new 14-inch MacBook Pro is available with your choices of two new Apple Silicon processors, the M1 Pro and the M1 Max. The M1 was a revelation when it first came out, and we praised it in our review, saying "Thanks to the M1 chip, the Apple Silicon inside this 3-pound beast runs circles around most Windows laptops when it comes to sheer performance."
