When Apple announced its new M1 Pro and M1 Max processors, everyone immediately (and understandably) had a million questions about the design, performance, and effect the chips would have on their workflow.
If you've had a ton of questions still left unanswered, you might be in luck. Tom Boger, Apple's Vice President of iPad & Mac Product Marketing, and Tim Millet, Apple's Vice President of Platform Architecture, recently sat down with Rene Ritchie to dive deep into the ins and outs of the company's latest generation of Apple silicon.
You can check out the interview below:
Tom Boger, Vice President of iPad & Mac Product Marketing and Tim Millet, Vice President of Platform Architecture, join me to talk about what they thought when Apple first decided to switch the Mac to custom silicon, what it was like bringing their low/slow/wide approach to a thermal envelope as big as the new MacBook Pro, how scalable architecture really scales up this much (and more), how they think about transistor budget in an increasing post-big compute core world, gaming on Mac, and which MBPs we're all rocking!
The M1 Pro and M1 Max power the new MacBook Pro. The new 14-inch and 16-inch models also feature a complete redesign, the return of the ports, the exit of the Touch Bar, and a mini-LED display that many have said goes toe to toe with the $5000 Pro Display XDR.
The newest and best
The 14-inch MacBook Pro (2021) comes with an M1 Pro or M1 Max SoC that's fast, secure, and available with the most memory and storage options. Did we mention that incredible display and that it comes with MagSafe?!
