Those statistics are truly impressive, but what
do they actually mean in practice? Let’s start
with the 14-inch MacBook Pro. Thanks to a
10-core CPU in M1 Pro and M1 Max, the model
ofers up to 3.7x faster project builds using
Xcode, 3x more Amp Designer plug-ins in
Logic Pro, and up to 2.8x faster computational
luid dynamics performance in NASA TetrUSS.
The 16-core GPU in M1 Pro and the 32-core
GPU in M1 Max allows for up to 9.2x faster 4K
render in Final Cut Pro with M1 Pro, and up
to 13.4x faster with M1 Max, up to 5.6x faster-
combined vector and raster GPU performance
in Ainity Photo with M1 Pro, and up to 8.5x
faster with M1 Max, and up to 3.6x faster efect
render in Blackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve
Studio with M1 Pro, and up to 5x faster with
M1 Max. The 16-core Neural Engine ofers up
to 8.7x faster object tracking performance in
Final Cut Pro with M1 Pro, 7.2x faster scene edit
detection in 1080p ProRes 422 video in Adobe
Premiere Pro, and up to 2.6x faster performance
when selecting subjects in images in Adobe
Photoshop. The 16-inch model is perhaps even
more impressive, ofering up to 2.9x faster-
combined vector and raster GPU performance
in Ainity Photo with M1 Pro, and up to 4.5x
faster with M1 Max, up to 2.5x faster render in
Maxon Cinema 4D with Redshift with M1 Pro,
and up to 4x faster with M1 Max, up to 4.4x
faster scene edit detection in 1080p ProRes 422
video in Adobe Premiere Pro, and up to 1.5x faster
performance with M1 Pro and up to 2x faster with
M1 Max when selecting subjects in images in
Adobe Photoshop. These statistics are something
out of an Apple fanboy’s fantasy, and only possible
thanks to Apple’s genuine innovations.
