Apple M1 Pro 14-Core GPU vs Apple M1 8-Core GPU vs Apple M1 Max 24-Core GPU
Apple M1 Pro 14-Core GPU
► remove from comparisonThe Apple M1 Pro 14-Core-GPU is an integrated graphics card by Apple offering 14 of the 16 cores in the M1 Pro Chip. The 1792 ALUs offer a theoretical performance of up to 4.6 Teraflops (16 core variant with 2048 ALUs offers 5.3 Teraflops).
The graphics card has no dedicated graphics memory but can use the fast LPDDR5-6400 unified memory with a 256 bit bus (up to 200 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 Pro is manufactured in the modern 5nm process at TSMC and offers an excellent energy efficiency. According to the internal sensors, the GPU uses 15 Watt under full load.
Apple M1 8-Core GPU
► remove from comparisonThe Apple M1 GPU is an integrated graphics card offering 8 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 is 2.6 teraflops and 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. According to internal tools, the M1 GPU uses under load approximately 10 Watt (11.5 Watt package power including the RAM).
Apple M1 Max 24-Core GPU
► remove from comparisonThe 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.
