The M1 Pro chip is available in two versions, and this is the difference in power between the two.
The new MacBook Pros debuted two incredibly powerful new chips: the M1 Pro and the M1 Max. However, within each of these chips, we have different versions and options. The most notable of these differences affects the M1 Pro chip CPU cores.
The M1 Pro chip from 10 cores has 8 high-performance cores and 2 high-efficiency cores, while the model of 8 cores has 6 high-performance cores and 2 high-efficiency cores. But what is the real power difference between both chips?
Geekbench Scores
The easiest way to analyze the Power difference between 8-core and 10-core M1 Pro chip is using a performance test, and the most famous of all is Geekbench 5. These are the test results on the M1, M1 Pro 8-core and M1 Pro 10-core chips, in the single-core and multi-core tests.
- M1 (8 core) – One core: 1742 – Multicore: 7582
- M1 Pro (8 cores) – One core: 1767 – Multicore: 9948
- M1 Max (10 cores) – Single core: 1764 – Multicore: 12380
As we can see, both the M1 and the two versions of the M1 Pro, obtain very similar results in the single-core tests. However, the differences grow when we analyze multicore tests. On 10-core M1 Pro is around 20% faster than 8-core model, something that makes sense to have 20% fewer cores.
The price difference between the MacBook Pro with the 8-core M1 chip and the 10-core M1 chip is 230 euros. It is an important difference that must be assessed whether it is worth it or not, now we already know the difference in real power between both versions of the M1 Pro chip.
