It's a testament to the difference two extra cores make when we're talking about raw horsepower. We looked up some benchmarks to get a rough ballpark on what's the performance difference between both chips, and while there's virtually no single-core difference, there's a marked improvement in multi-core performance. The difference between the M1 Pro 8-core and the M1 Pro 10-core is also pretty drastic. In this case, we have two different CPUs, which is somewhat misleading for unsuspecting customers given that they both share a name. With the original Apple M1, the company offered a choice between a 7-core GPU and an 8-core GPU, but the CPU itself remained the same across all presentations.
This means that not every M1 Pro is the same, despite what the name might suggest. Before we can talk about the differences between this new generation and Apple's older M1 chip, we need to briefly lay down the differences between the M1 Pro and the M1 Max-there are more differences than you may think, and the M1 branding that's being used here by Apple doesn't make that immediately clear.įirst and foremost, what's known as the M1 Pro is actually two chips.įirst up, there's an 8-core chip with a 14-core GPU, and then there's also a 10-core chip with a 16-core GPU.
