It should not lack power in the latest laptops Macs. Stated performance and price tag are both top class, as it should be with machines for professional users.
The Pro series has been expanded with a 14-inch and a 16-inch, as well as the choice between the brand new system chips M1 Pro and the muscle version M1 Max.
The latter is by far the most generous of these with better specifications, up to twice as many GPU cores and dual memory bus. In any case, both represent a boost from The M1 processor, which Apple successfully introduced last year.
The first-generation system chip after the break with the Intel processor was also equipped with 16 billion transistors. M1 Max boasts 57 billion.
Max turbo
Observers have discovered references to a mode for extra high performance in the beta release of the MacOS 12 operating system “Monterey”, which will be launched during Monday 25 October.
Apple now confirms that this is a kind of turbo function, reserved for the brand new 16-inch with M1 Max chip, reports Macrumours.
“Your Mac will optimize performance for better support for resource-intensive tasks. This can lead to higher fan noises »it is stated in the relevant text.
Exactly what the functionality does, how it improves performance and why a 14-inch with exactly the same system chip is not allowed to play is uncertain.
But it is clear that a mode that, for example, can raise the clock speed to take away the more demanding tasks, it gives associations to the 1990s turbo button on the then workstations with Intel 286 and 386 processor.
In its most expensive configuration, the Macbook Pro with a 16-inch screen, 64 gigabytes of working memory, 8 terabytes of SSD storage and the system chip M1 Max will be able to lighten the wallet for almost 75,000 kroner.
