While opening up the event, there was not just a MacBook Pro, there are some audio stuff too. Talking about all the music stuff of Apple, its deeper integration of hardware, software, and service lets you enjoy a seamless music experience with the amazing sound quality on all of your devices. Air pods are one of the popular music devices by apple, but this time they have come with an extended version of it, which is (Third-generation) Air pods. Let’s dive into the features.

Introducing the M1 Pro and M1 Max gives a pretty huge jump, from all the intel stuff that was in all the Apple devices before. So this is the first time in history we are getting Apple silicon chips inside all the Apple machines. All these integrations give much better performance, much better efficiency, and deliver the best way to experience it. So let’s talk about its features and functionality.
M1 Pro
M1 Pro chip has a 10-core CPU which delivers up to 70 percent faster CPU performance and 2-times faster GPU performance than M1. By the way, M1 has already at its peak, which delivers high performance.
It also includes eight high-performance cores with two high-efficiency, and a 16 core GPU with up to 32 GB of unified memory, which doesn’t sound like a lot but keep in mind this is just a first tier of Pro chip. You can say that this is just a trailer. There are more surprises you will get in the future.
M1 Max
M1 Max features the same 10-core powerful CPU with the massive 32-core GPU, which delivers 4x faster graphics performance than M1. If you had a question that what about the bigger system that has dedicated graphic cards? Then here’s the answer “M1 Max”. It is specially built for a higher configuration system to deliver great performance even in a heavy workload.
M1 Max is the largest chip Apple has ever built. In addition, it consumes up to 40 percent less power and performs similarly to the highest-end PC laptop.
M1 Max also offers a higher-bandwidth on-chip fabric and doubles the memory interface compared with M1 Pro for up to 400GB/s, or nearly 6x the memory bandwidth of M1. This allows M1 Max to be configured with up to 64GB of fast unified memory.
Both the M1 pro and Max has an Apple-designed media engine that helps to enhance the video processing without decreasing its battery life. This is one of the finest yet most useful gifts for the graphic designer, photographer, video editor, filmmaker, and music producer.
All the apple machines integrated with these M1 pro chip delivers high and fast performance rather than Intel integrated Mac devices.
