Two MacBook Pro 16 laptops containing two different variants of new Apple Silicon have been put through a massive battery of benchmark tests with some surprising results. The M1 Pro with 16-core GPU was pitted against the M1 Max with 32-core GPU, with the laptops featuring a US$1,200 price difference. The M1 Pro proved itself to be more than capable.

I liked M1 Max, 32gb, 1tb, 10+32 core. But my budget was 3k inclu7the 3 year ext warranty.
Can Intel go 4nm process6soon? They are killing me
I wonder about the battery life between M1 Pro and Max versions of the same model. Verge claims rather large differences between the two even during standard web browsing/idling resulting in 30% benefit for the Pro. That seems rather high to me.
What a dumb article. The price difference between the M1 Pro and the M1 Max is $400, not $1200. Most of the price difference between the two tested configurations is that the Max has an extra $800 in RAM (16 GB on the Pro, 64 GB on the Max)!
Hell, why not write an article in which you compare an M1 Pro with 32 GB RAM/8 TB SSD ($5300) to an M1 Max with 32 GB RAM/1 TB SSD ($3400) and loudly declare the M1 Max is a better value because it's actually *cheaper* than the M1 Pro?!!
Seriously, NoteBookCheck, you're better than this!

After they're done please come back and tell how it went.
Comparing the M1 Pro and M1 Max both from 2021 with i9 from 2019... obviously will be differencies because of a coupe of years of technical improvements. Why you and all other that doing the comparisons &/or the review for M1pro/max never compare them with the latest i9? All you do is comparing a brand new 2021 Apple CPU with a 2-3 years old Intel CPU and misleading masses.
