Apple M1 Max 24-Core GPU vs AMD Radeon Pro 5300M vs Apple M1 7-Core GPU
Apple M1 Max 24-Core GPU
► remove from comparison
The Apple M1 Max 24-Core-GPU is an integrated graphics card by Apple offering 24 of the 32 cores in the M1 Max Chip. The 3,072 ALUs offer a theoretical performance of up to 8 Teraflops.
The graphics card has no dedicated graphics memory but can use the fast LPDDR5-6400 unified memory with a 512 bit bus (up to 400 GBit/s).
The GPU clocks between 389 and 1296 MHz and offers no short term boost (389, 486, 648, 778, 972, 1296 MHz steps according to Powermetrics). The GPU is intended to use Apple Metal 2 API and could still be based on the older PowerVR architectures (last used in the Apple A10).
The Apple M1 Max is manufactured in the modern 5nm process at TSMC and offers an excellent energy efficiency.
AMD Radeon Pro 5300M
► remove from comparison
The AMD Radeon Pro 5300M is a dedicated mobile mid-range graphics card for laptops. It uses the new Navi 14 chip (RDNA architecture) which is produced in 7nm. The Pro 5300M was announced in the entry level Apple MacBook Pro 16 in late 2019 and features 4 GB of GDDR6 VRAM. Compared to the similar named Radeon RX 5300M, the Pro 5300M features different specifications with 20 instead of 22 CUs and the full 128 Bit memory bus but reduced clock speeds.
The Navi 14 chip uses the new RDNA (Radeon DNA) microarchitecture which is a successor the the GCN instruction set. It features a new processor design, a multi-level cache hierarchy and an improved rendering pipeline with support for GDDR6 memory.
The RX5300M competes directly with the GeForce GTX 1650 and should offer a similar gaming performance. Therefore, we expect the Radeon Pro 5300M to offer a similar performance. The faster Radeon Pro 5500M in the higher end versions of the MBP16 is faster and compares against a GeForce GTX 1660 Ti.
The mobile RX5300M is specified with a TDP of 65 Watt (versus 85W of the RX 5500M). The "Pro" version however is specified at 50 Watt TGP and therefore the same as the faster Radeon Pro 5500M.
Apple M1 7-Core GPU
► remove from comparison
The Apple M1 GPU is an integrated graphics card offering 7 cores (1 deactivated core in the entry MacBook Air) designed by Apple and integrated in the Apple M1 SoC. According to Apple it is faster and more energy efficient as competing products (like the Tiger Lake Xe GPU). The peak performance of the high end variant with 8 cores is 2.6 teraflops, therefore the 7 core version should offer around 2.3 teraflops. Thanks to the unified memory architecture it should have fast access to the RAM.
The Apple M1 is manufactured in the modern 5nm process at TSMC and should offer an excellent energy efficiency.
