- Andrei Frumusanu looks at the M1 Pro and M1 Max, particularly in terms of GPU performance. "While the M1 Pro catches up and outpaces the laptop competition in terms of performance," he writes, "the M1 Max is aiming at delivering something never-before seen: supercharging the GPU to a total of 32 cores.
