If you are interested in more detailed gaming performance on the M1 Max chip, I am currently working on a video for it and it should be up by tomorrow if you want more info and a bunch of titles tested.
As a graphic designer, photo and video editor I never had a laptop that can handle as many task I throw at this new MacBook Pro M1 Max… I’ve owned many computers and none of which came close to the power this new MacBook Pro can produce. Very impressed!
Don’t lose heart, Andrew Tsai channel is seems dedicated to M1 gaming. There’s a boatload he’s already showcased. He just put up a video on how to run Crysis on M1.
@@WalidFeghali Call apple and ask them if your local apple stores have the model you order (which they will since they shipped a lot to the stores), and you can just pick it up there instead of waiting for it to ship.
@@GregsGadgets would you say last novembers M1 13inch pro with Touch Bar would still be a worthy buy? And if so how future proofed do you think it could be?
Gforce drivers makes a huge difference on Nvidia graphic cards, they are updated all the time to get good performance. Imagine if apple starts to care about that... We are already getting 40fps not even trying. It is all about apple working together with game developers. The hardware is ready.
Drivers won’t fix this. You need devs to actually build from the ground up for apple silicon and unless apple cuts a deal with them for tons of money that’s not gonna happen.
Been looking at 2021 MacBook Pro videos all week. This was exactly what I was looking for information-wise (14-inch, M1 Max, battery life, SSD speeds, etc.). Thanks Greg!
Excellent video as always! Thanks for your good work. Really helps to make an educated decision. I already changed my Day 1 order from 14“ to 16“. Not sure if I keep the Max in after this video. I assume the better export speeds are mostly because of the faster SSDs. There is a lot of data to shovel. So maybe take a Pro with a 2TB+ SSD.
I still have stuffs to consider before I decide to go for 14" M1 Pro or 14" M1 Max. How about the heat and fan noise issues, did you find these problems on this 14" M1 Max model so far?
There is no fan noise. Are you guys serious?! 99.9% of the people can NOT use the full power of these laptops. Even the remaining 0.01% who can do that, have no complaints. Chill guys.
@@DarkPa1adin there probably will be a difference, but the m1 pro still will be able to do the job. Luke Miani made some very interesting videos on that topic.
Thanks for the benchmarks Greg. I’m wondering how much of a performance effect was had with the 64gb rather than just 32gb, I suspect since it’s the 32gb GPU that’s doing the heavy lifting, the results would be similar, but I’d love to find out for sure before I pull the trigger.
Thanks Greg. This is the video I was waiting for. Appreciate the tests you did and even including a bit of logic (even it wasn't very in depth but you explained you aren't a musician/producer so won't hold that against you). At least you included that which is more than the majority of you tubers did. great to know the fans did not spin up on you during that intensive editing etc. This was my biggest concern and had me on the fence about retuning my full spec 14in M1 Max. This video has put me at ease a bit. Thumbs up.
@@GregsGadgets my main worry is any possible thermal throttling issues but I think I’m just going to risk it and get the M1 max 14” model. Just got to wait till December now 😭😂 Keep up the good work.

I wonder if you’d see game improvement through Parallels and using windows 11 and windows games - windows 11 arm is beta and reportedly buggy - but might be an interesting study. You still are giving the best content on tech.
On gaming, the 32-core M1 Max is quite impressive. I play only one major game, World of Warcraft. On my M1’s (both M1 MBP and Mac mini), I averaged about 28-30 fps in Oribos or my covenant with settings at 4 or 5 (WoW’s detail levels go from 1-10). On my new 16” MacBook Pro with 32-core GPU, I’m easily getting 100-150 fps on a detail setting of 8 in the same areas. That is awesome. One thing I noticed is that the game takes the entire screen, including the menu bar area, so the notch does cut into the game screen. I did find I stopped noticing that notch almost immediately.
@@sotonin He compared the differences in frame rates between the pro versions of the m1 versus that of the m1 max. Hence, making a very defined point and secondly, a strong comment by virtue of someone having the experiences throughout the m1 line up to make such an observation. The age of the game isn't the focus of his comment but after rereading your comment, I'm not surprised that the substance and intent of the comment went right over your head.
Greg, thanks a lot for these comparisons, but I still do not understand for what a damn reason 16 gpu outperforms 14 gpu in almost tripple times in heaven, ist it something wrong with your results?
nice video! what happens when you plugged in 3 or 4 monitors and the macbook is closed? what happens when your room temperature is set up to summer conditions?
Elated you got your newcMac Book. The new Air is more my speed for Screenwriting when it arrives... But I'm amazed by how powerful these new cutting edge Macs are.
There's a difference but you probably won't notice it, the SSD drives are fast on every model. Go with how much storage you think you'll need, and if you're going to be keeping this laptop for a long time it's always better to buy more storage than you think you'll need.
Hey Greg! Did you monitor usage of RAM while doing some of these tests? I wonder much of 64GB RAM is used with bunch of tabs in Chrome and doing some "heavy lifting" by the CPU (compiling, exporting, you call it).
I wonder if adding extra cash for M1 Max and 64GB RAM is worth it for programming stuff which often includes having multiply programs running at the same time like Zoom, Slack, Chrome/Safari wiith greedy JIRA (at least at MBP13 with Intel)
Hi Greg! Many thanks for your review! Just ordered pretty much the same spec 14 inch laptop (with the only exception of having a 2 TB SSD)... and then stated watching all these videos stating that M1 Max is an overkill in the 14 inch body, that it drains battery in hours and overheats, etc etc... So got hesitant and wondering if I should cancel my order - either to wait for 16 inch to become available or to get the 14 inch with M1 Pro instead. Have you come across any overheating problems? Is that true that Apple deliberately slow down the M1 Max performance in 14 inch body and it underperforms the 16 inch specced the same way? Will appreciate your opinion on this.
As someone who works with a lot of IDEs, Music DAWs and Emulators, is the extra RAM upgrade from 32GB to 64GB worth it? Would 64GB of RAM be better for future proofing?
I ordered the 24 core GPU 16 inch Macbook Pro. What is going to be difference between 24 core and 32 core GPU? Is it going to affect the battery life?? Should I upgrade to 32 core GPU?
I cannot wait to get mine, I got the 24core and 64gb ram since I feel like the RAM was more important to me than the GPU, honestly would have got a pro if I could have got 64Gb RAM to save a bit of money.
In the PC world, you get full PCI Gen 4 speeds at 1TB and up, but 512GB generally run at Gen 3 speed, because to reach those gen4 speeds you need the memory chips on the NVME to run in parallel, and with 512GB they do not.
@@derekbaker3279 Ram speed is super fast with both M1 Pro and M1 Max. However, the M1 Max has DOUBLE the memory width (512 bits) so it can fetch twice the memory at the same speed compared to M1 Pro.
4:20 Rosetta should not be effecting "graphics" performance. Rosetta is there to translate between x86 instructions and Apple Silicon instructions. GPU is not x86. However, with that said, there is a lot you can do to optimize a graphical routine for the underlying hardware, which is why nVidia and AMD work so closely with devs. Apple's Silicon being so new probably does lack optimization. Also, you might be thinking the part of the code that is x86 might be holding it back, but that is unlikely as well since Rosetta does not actually perform "emulation" it performs "translation". So the code is precompiled to be compatible before execution, instead of trying to do in flight call mapping, which is why x86 apps run so blazingly fast on these new M1 platforms. (But it's easy to find out, just check and see if you have CPU overhead available during the graphics routine in question, if you do, you're not CPU bound.)
@@sherry6892 Not necessarily. The way Rosetta works is very similar to the app running "natively" it just isn't necessarily running "fully" optimized. Think of how AMD released the Zen architecture a few years back, x86 code ran native, but it wasn't optimized. Rosetta does a compiled translation, so once the CPU is executing the code, it is native, and in fact, more optimized than the Intel code was for AMD (as Apple builds optimizations into Rosetta). Also, the "hit" is not necessarily meaningful, it depends on what the limiting factor is in the execution path. If the process isn't CPU bound, then optimization of the CPU code paths aren't impactful to final performance.
@@dstrelnikov hey this is really interesting. I’m debating between the two. Where did you find that info? If that’s true that’s not much difference between the two!
@@dstrelnikov thanks bro. That put my mind at ease with my 1TB purchase! Also, it looks like you have the read/write reversed. Write is 6500 vs 5800, Read is 5500 vs 5200. Which is good news to me as I would say Read speed is more important
when i am financial OK i want to save money for my first macbook. wich one can you guys recommend? not much into gaming but apreciate fast multitasking and fast responding internet page startup☺️
I’m a regular user…web meetings, web browsing, excel… My company is offering me 14inch M1 Max w 32gpu & 64ram or 16inch 24gpu w 32ram. I can get the 14 sooner and prefer this size, but less heat, quiet (less fan), and battery are important to me. Can I run the 14 in a low power mode? Would that help? Can folks please provide input on this decision between these two MacBooks.
I’m thinking of doing the same. Read and write speeds are good enough with 1tb. Tempting to get the 2tb but I honestly wouldn’t need that much storage and the read and write speed improvement isn’t a huge upgrade for me
So I decided to go with the greatest no brainer configuration 16.5" M1 Pro base model for an extra 200$ over the 14" M1 pro base model. Mainly because you get a bigger XDR display and it has more battery life then the MacBook air! Plus I get two extra CPU cores & two extra GPU cores which is a bonus for me. In addition I also upgraded the SSD to 1TB for future proofing.

I am more interested in an adobe document loaded with layers with a high vector count, could care less about games. I know everyone else may be but I use mine to make money.
A question if you can answer it, Currently, I'm on 1TB. Should I cancel and re-order the device to consider the 2TB instead for the read and write speed?
Can youplease compare the 24 core vs the 32 core on every benchmark including gaming? I heard that 32 core on the 14 inch is thermal limited which means getting the 32 core is a waste and we should stick to 24 core gpu. Can you confirm?

Try Baldurs Gate 3 if you have it, I heard it is optimized for M1 although Im not sure if its native
Check out Andrew Tsai's Channel for some Mac gaming info.
Please also compare the performance to nvidia/amd gpus or where it stands with native arm games

Thank you for this Greg! I'm wondering if you could run the PugetBench for After Effects? I'm a motion designer and I'm planning on buying a 16" with this exact configurations, would be amazing to know that beforehand. Thanks again!
13:56 Dude, your export charts are extremely deceiving:
1) start the chart from 0, not from 0.9
2) how should we interpret this 0.9 anyway? 0.9 minutes? please use either seconds or a mm:ss format
Oh sorry that was an error on my part it wasn’t supposed to start at 0.9. I don’t think the rest of the charts weee deceiving
Out of interest, how long does the logic 'bounce' normally take you?
My dream laptop 👊
not sure if 32gb RAM and 64gb RAM makes a difference. I am still deciding which specs to get!
I am more interested in an adobe document loaded with layers with a high vector count, could care less about games. I know everyone else may be but I use mine to make money.
Spoke before you ran the affinity benchmark lol
I decided to get this configuration and after watching the video you definitely made me go to apple tomorrow 😂
16 vs 32 vs 64 rams!! Which one to buy
A question if you can answer it,
Currently, I'm on 1TB. Should I cancel and re-order the device to consider the 2TB instead for the read and write speed?
Hey, nice video
I wanna ask you if my work flow is only Excel & some simple video editing
Which MacBook pro do you recommend me to buy ???
Can youplease compare the 24 core vs the 32 core on every benchmark including gaming? I heard that 32 core on the 14 inch is thermal limited which means getting the 32 core is a waste and we should stick to 24 core gpu. Can you confirm?
i have prepurchased macbook pro 14" m1 max 10/32, 32gb, 2tb ssd is my ssd speed will be maxed?
Future proofing for sure.
Why no one measures temperatures in their benchmarks 😞
