The event Unleashed Apple has left everyone very excited about the shocking leap that the new chips promise M1 Pro and M1 Max for him Macbook pro. A brutal leap is envisioned in the capacity of the renewed line of laptops, and this also means a slap in the face for Intel, as the Cupertino catalog he no longer has laptops with his chips.
The new 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pros leave behind any vestige of Intel’s hardware presence. Even during the presentation there were some “blows” for those who were – until not long ago – partners of the apple firm.
Although it is true that some of the graphs of performance that Apple presented were somewhat vague (at least during streaming), the comparison between the performance of the 14-inch MacBook Pro in its versions with M1 Pro and M1 Max they made a fool of the 13 ” MacBook Pro with Intel Core i7 processor.
This morning we shared the statements of Pat Gelsinger, the CEO of Intel, who said that his company will do everything possible to win back Apple. But after what was seen at the event Unleashed, it is highly unlikely that this will happen. If the new processors in the Apple Silicon catalog deliver even part of what was promised, today Intel has no chance to offer something similar. And when Apple renews its other computers that have not yet migrated to the M1 chip line, the future will be even more opaque for Gelsinger and company.
The MacBook Pro family is now based purely and exclusively on Apple Silicon
As Apple mentioned during the presentation, the new MacBook Pro line will coexist with the 13-inch model with M1 processor. It will serve as a gateway to a family of laptops that has just finally dropped the hand of Intel. The definitive alignment of the MBP catalog is made up of the following:
- 13-inch MacBook Pro with M1 chip. With 8 GB of unified memory and 256 or 512 GB SSD storage. The price starts at 1,449 euros in Spain for the version with less storage.
- 14-inch MacBook Pro with M1 Pro chip. A variant incorporates 8-core CPU and 14-core GPU. It includes 16GB of unified memory and 512GB of SSD storage. The other version has 10-core CPU and 16-core GPU, 16GB of unified memory, and an SSD with 1TB of storage. Prices? 2,249 and 2,749 euros, respectively.
- In the case of 16-inch MacBook Pro There are three alternatives available, two with an M1 Pro chip and one with an M1 Max. Both versions with the M1 Pro processor feature 10-core CPU and 16-core GPU, as well as 16GB unified memory. But they vary in SSD storage: one comes with 512GB and the other with 1TB. The first costs 2,749 euros, and the second 2,979 euros. Lastly, the M1 Max chip alternative is logically top of the line and includes a 10-core CPU, a 32-core GPU, 32GB of unified memory, and a 1TB solid-state drive. It goes on sale for 3,849 euros in Spain.
In addition to the MacBook Pros, remember that Apple already uses the “original” M1 chips in the MacBook Air, and the 24-inch iMac.
