So far, nothing I’ve done with the MBP has worked it so hard that the fan has kicked in.

I was wondering if I’d be annoyed by the fan in the MacBook Pro since I got very used to the silence of the fan-free MBA.
On both machines, apps launch in a heartbeat and everything is smooth and fast. The M1 Pro MacBook Pro honestly doesn’t feel faster than the M1 MacBook Air. I’ll leave this one to the OWC Thunderbolt experts! Real Life Usage As OWC Larry says, the speeds should be the same as well. What surprised me the most about the disk benchmarks was that although read speeds were approximately the same, write speeds were about 31% faster for the M1 Pro MacBook Pro! Both tests were allowed to run through ten iterations, the cable was the same, and the drive was (of course) the same. 2021 M1 Pro MacBook Proīlackmagic Disk Speed Test Results – 2020 M1 MacBook Air It’s incredibly fast, it’s silent, and it can put up with a lot of physical abuse. The external disk used is an OWC Envoy Pro FX, which is my new favorite backup drive. Disk Benchmarksįor disk benchmarks, I used Blackmagic Disk Speed Test on both the M1 MacBook Air and M1 Pro MacBook Pro. For true “Pro” work, M-powered devices also need more memory than the 16GB maximum currently available in the M1.” Sure enough, the M1 Pro and M1 Max are here, both with more unified memory (up to 64GB with the M1 Max) than the original M1 provided.

Last year, I predicted that “the (2021) iMac Pro, Mac Pro and 16-inch MacBook Pro may use an M-series SoC with a drastically beefed-up GPU. Even without a discrete GPU, the 14 compute units of the M1 Pro ended up providing about 14% higher graphics performance numbers. Here are the CPU benchmarks from four different recent MacBooks: 2021 M1 Pro MacBook ProĬompute Benchmark 2019 MacBook Air Compute Benchmark Bottom Lineĭuring my tests last year of the M1 MacBook Air, the 2019 MacBook Pro with the Intel Core i9 CPU and AMD Radeon Pro 5500M Compute Engine GPU won out. The scores from any device can be compared directly to scores from other devices to show relative speed.
There are two tests: a CPU test and a Compute test. This utility provides a common set of operations that are timed in order to create a score. For just a bit more size and a half-pound more weight, I’m getting more ports, more speed, and more screen real estate: CPU Benchmarksįor benchmark comparison purposes I always use Geekbench 5. By comparison, last year’s MacBook Air weighed 2.8 lbs (1.3kg) and had measurements of 11.97 x 8.36 x 0.63 inches (30.41 x 21.24 x 1.61 cm). Screen size is a bit larger, of course (see photo above). Compared to the 13.3-inch 2560 x 1600 Retina display in the M1 MacBook Air, the screen seems brighter and crisper (more about this later).
The screen is a 14.2-inch 3024 x 1964 Apple Liquid Retina XDR Display using ProMotion refresh rates up to 120Hz. The M1 Pro features 10 CPU cores, 8 for performance and 2 for efficiency. Powered by the Apple M1 Pro system-on-chip, the 14-inch MacBook Pro I’m testing today is equipped with 32GB of unified memory and has 1TB of SSD storage.
