Today Apple introduced the new generation of its own computer processors. This is what the Apple M1 Pro and the M1 Max can do.
Last year, Apple introduced the first Macs with an M1 processor. This is primarily intended to provide longer battery life and better performance. Apple has now developed it further, resulting in two new chips.
The M1 Pro has been made considerably larger. It now has not only more transistors and more cores, but also more RAM. The maximum RAM size is now 32 gigabytes. The Thunderbolt controller is also larger, which means more data can be transferred. The Apple M1 Max has taken things even further. It comes with 64 gigabytes and even more powerful processing cores and even more transistors. Nevertheless, the company was able to ensure that both processors are still very energy-efficient.

The computing unit's GPU is also said to have been improved. It should consume 100 watts less energy than similar graphics cards with the same performance.
Apple M1 Pro and M1 Max: What does this mean in everyday life?
In everyday use, everything should feel even faster with the two new processors. You should notice significant increases in performance, especially in pro apps; Cinema 4D should run about four times faster.
