The M1 Max<\/strong> is a game-changing chip for video editing and graphics-heavy workflows, Apple<\/strong><\/a> executives have said in a podcast about the new MacBook Pro<\/strong><\/a> models, with the top-end chip<\/strong> capable of some video production feats that some Mac Pro<\/strong> variants cannot match.<\/p>\n In an interview, Pro Mac<\/strong> Product Line Manager Shruti Haldea along with Luke Tristram spoke about the chips, and the various benefits introduced with the new notebooks.<\/p>\n For the M1 Max<\/strong>, Haldea says it has a “pretty game-changing” memory bandwidth of 400GB\/s along with the configurable 64 gigabytes of unified memory, according to the “Same Brain” podcast. The level is such that, while you can do 8K video playback on an M1 MacBook Pro and can do 4K video editing on a MacBook Air, there’s more that can be done at the higher-end of the product spectrum.<\/p>\n “One thing that is true about this architecture is that it delivers extraordinary performance, and so there are cases in which the M1 Max chip outdoes what Mac Pro<\/strong> can do,” Haldea offers.<\/p>\n “One example of that is, thanks to the ProRes accelerators that are built into the Media Engine, M1 Max<\/span> has two of those engines for hardware-accelerated encode and decode, so as a result, you can run seven streams of 8K ProRes in Final Cut Pro on a 16-inch MacBook Pro with M1 Max<\/strong>. That’s more streams than on a 28-core Mac Pro with an Afterburner Card, so you’re literally out-doing a workstation.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\nApple’s 14-inch MacBook Pro and 16-inch MacBook Pro include some hefty processing capabilities, in the form of the M1 Pro and M1 Max chips.<\/h3>\n
