Technology is advancing by leaps and bounds and in video games we are also benefiting from all the improvements. In the realm of graphics cards, power is climbing fast and at very high levels. Now, Apple has taken a breast of its new M1 Max, chips that contain CPU, GPU and RAM, and that will be in the new MacBook Pros.
The apple company wants to attract more players and, for this, has ensured that the new chips will give a similar performance that of a GPU RTX 3080 from Nvidia of the kind that are mounted on laptops, but being more efficient. The M1 Max can achieve that power using less electrical energy, according to data from Apple, collected by PCGamesN.
The company has used the Razer Blade 15 Advanced and MSI GE76 laptops, both with an RTX 3080, to ensure that their chip consumes a 40% less of energy than the first, and uses 100 watts less in the case of the second. What is striking, beyond this, is that the chip maintains performance even without being plugged into the light. Nvidia GPUs lose power if they are used only with the laptop battery.
For the one unfamiliar with the M1 Max, this chip consists of 10 processors, 32 GPU cores, and a attached 64GB LPDDR5 RAM. This piece is based on ARMWhile the best gaming processors from Intel or AMD are typically based on x86. In theory, those that are based on ARM have greater advantages and, in fact, Nvidia is studying making one of its own.
Despite all this, it is clear that manufacturers always try to get the public’s attention. Apple may be right and true, but we can only see if these chips have such power once they are done. independent tests performance. It will be interesting to see how they perform, but they are certainly a really attractive piece.
