Hello, this is Liam from the early adopter.
I had the MacBook Pro 16-inch
M1 Pro 16 GB unified memory and 512 GB Storage 10-core CPU 16 GPU, which
was finally released today .
This is the 16 inch base model.
I think this base model is a realistic option for many people.
Because the 14inch Macbook Pro base model has only 8CPU,
you may spend more money when you upgrade it so I don't think the 14inch base model is the best option.
and now I have a feeling that the 16-inch model might be better in temperature management
, and since it's bigger and cooler,
many people are considering upgrading
it, so a completely high-end model would be nice. However , I 'm
personally very curious about how much performance this entry-level model
produces, so
it's the full specs of the 13-inch M1 MacBook Pro I'm using.
It is a 16GB RAM 8CPU 8GPU model,
and the price difference from that is about $1000CAD
So I wanted to see how much of a difference it really is, so I wanted to see if it was
worth the upgrade, so I brought it.
I'll upload this video soon and do another detailed review.
Now, let's do the unboxing right away.
It's very heavy.
It's a lot heavier than I thought.
Plastic vinyl .
Let's tear this part apart.
It's incredibly heavy.
It seems to be a lot heavier than I thought.
Unlike the existing M1-series Macs and the existing 16-inch Macs, I think
it's incredibly heavy.
Ah, the feeling is incredibly heavy
I think this new Pro models are performance oriented.
Let's look at the case part.
This is Magsafe.
Magsafeport is back.
(Not compatible with the old one)
This is a very high-quality cable made of fabric like an iMac.
It's a Magsafe cable, and there's a piece of paper in it.
MacBook Pro is out. we can tell
I am a pro! Contains black stickers.
Now, this 16-inch
MacBook will have a 140-watt charger like this by default.
It's USB Type C.
This charger is considerably larger than the previous MacBook.
It also means that you can use a lot of power.
This is the charger I used for the M1, which is 61 watts. The
size is not much different from the 140 watt charger, but the capacity difference is quite significant.
The power difference seems to be quite large.
140w 61w It's really incredibly heavy.
I'm so impressed that there was such a MacBook that it was hard to hold it with one hand. It's
really different from the existing Macs, which doesn't
really look like a Mac.
If you look at it this way, it's kinda flat, thick and rounded corner.
First of all, the angular shape that looks like a Laser Blade is also quite thick.
There is definitely an HDMI port (2.0), a USB Type-C port,
and two Type-C ports on the back of the SDXC card.
There is also a headphone jack.
Then there is the MagSafeport.
There is an engraving on the back. Even the screws of the MacBook Pro are visible.
Turing on the Macbook Pro
because it will enormously expensive,
I will use it carefully.
Hello!
The keyboard is also different.
If you look at it this way, the bezel next to it is also quite thick.
The monitor panel is also quite thick.
It's an M1 MacBook Pro, but if you look at the thickness difference, you can see
a huge difference.
Suddenly I miss the M1 a bit.
So, I brought a 16-inch MacBook Pro. It is an M1 Pro product, a
16 gigabyte model, and a 512GB capacity 10-core CPU and
16-core GPU model.
Memory is also a bit disappointing, but I
ordered 16GB to compare it to the M1 .
After unboxing how fast it really
is, it took me a while to test things out.
So now, the first thing that stood out the most was the design.
It 's round, angular, and very thick and heavy
, like a unibody product from the past, like a Razer Blade or
Dell's laptops that seem to have gone back in design.
The keyboard also has an all-black keyboard, which gives it a very professional feel.
I thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to tie them same colour tone like this.
Also, it was really surprising that all the ports were there, and it was one of my favorite parts.
SD card slots are essential for photographers and videographers as I think
it is much more advantageous to have them. The HDMI port is also here.
Some people complain about the fact that Apple added HDMI 2.0 port instead of 2.1.
However, it's really nice to have it when you watch TV, movies or do a presentation.
Anyway, you have 3 USB Type C ports that can be connected to displays.
It is much better in terms of expandability than the existing M1 MacBook.
But on the other hand, it was too thick and heavy, so
my first impression was that it was too heavy.
The hinge of this screen is also very thick.
It was a design element that felt a bit ignorant for the first time.
But because it looks like a MacBook, it is quite similar to the old MacBook.
Rather than thinking that the design is absolutely beautiful, you can think of it as simply following
the design language of the existing MacBook, but a little more ignorant.
Just looking at the exterior design, I think the M1 MacBook Pro was pretty good.
Same with the MacBook Air.
Those models are definitely a bit thin, light and very sharp.
So I think there's attractive about it.
Now, the next most noticeable part is the screen.
The screen using the Mini LED is also very bright and beautiful although
I cannot capture everything in the video, I am quite satisfied. Thanks to this, I
can now produce HDR content with my
MacBook. I think that's a huge advantage.
No matter how you think about it, the promotional display is crazy.
It's really nice and this adaptive 120Hz display is great.
I really like the adaptive promotion display that AI automatically adjusts.
It also saves battery and on Mac, AI will take care
of reducing this frame rate when not needed, which is great.
When watching a video, if it is 24 frames, the
screen frame drops according to it, and the frame rate goes up as needed, which is very smart.
It's a very satisfying display, and one thing I like because the bezel is very thin, but it has a
notch.
If there was such a big notch,
I thought it would be better to have this Face ID function.
I don't know if it's because of the thickness or not.
The notch did n't really bother me when I was using it.
So far
, it seems to be a bit of a loss because
apps are optimized this way, so the menu bar goes up and the content goes down, but that
's okay.
So, let's take a quick look at the benchmarks.
The reason I did the benchmark this time
was because I wanted to know what the difference is between the M1 MacBook Pro and the M1 Pro, so
I ran the benchmark with various software
to share it with you .
Actual use may vary greatly.
Because there are apps that work well in silicon apps.
And in fact, most of the creation software, like Adobe,
already has a lot of silicon support, and
I did Adobe MAX today.
Adobe and Cinema 4D Da Vinci Resolve are the same
as we continue to talk about M1 there
. We are very actively trying
to optimize this silicon system to maximize performance.
If you use such software, there is a high probability that you will actually experience much better performance.
So my M1 MacBook Pro I'm comparing is
a model with 16GB of RAM, 8GPU, and 8CPU.
So the price is about 230 million won.
It's a bit pricey for an M1.
And since this product is 16 inches and the base model is
10CPU 16GPU 16GB RAM, the specifications are quite similar.
Only the chipset is different.
There is a difference between 2CPU and 8GPU, and how much difference is there? If
you go from 8 to 16, there is a double difference
.
If you look at Geekbench 5 CPU first, the two single cores are similar.
It is similar, but now when I go to multi-core, there is a big difference. There is a difference of more than 60%.
There was a slight loss in multi-core compared to M1 single-core, but
some multi-core performance of M1 Pro seems to have better performance and efficiency.
More performance.
12334 Actually, the CPU is very fast.
If this is enough, I have also conducted various calculation tests, but
only the M1 Pro, which is used in actual work, can fly.
It was really impressive.
Metal Score Metal is graphics.
The M1 was 21533.
On the other hand, the M1 Pro was over 40,000, so there was an almost 90% improvement.
Since it is 8GPU vs 16GPU, if it is 90%, there is a slight loss, but you can
think of it as a fairly convincing performance.
OpenCL is also similar, so
there is a greater difference in OpenCL, but the difference is about 94%.
Cinebench is now actually a 3D
rendering software, and it's one of the benchmarks I trust very much.
Because cinema pods are used by motiongraphers a lot.
So, this test is almost 3D rendering, and
since it is a rendering test in real software, it is very
similar to the actual work.
Of course, those who do motion graphics will be familiar with Cinema Pod.
Here again, the M1 Pro is about 60% faster than the M1 and about
57% faster
.
Not bad.
What we call MP Ratio is now the single-core to multi-core performance ratio.
The higher the number, the better the performance efficiency when changing from single-core to multi-core
.
So the M1 Pro is much better in this area.
Because if you look at the single core, even the M1 was better in Cinebench.
The M1 Pro performs much better in multi-core.
Now, the passmark is to analyze the performance of CPU and memory together, and the
CPU M1 Pro has improved by about 60%.
So now the CPU tests are consistently
telling me that there is a performance improvement of around 57% to 60% of the 60s.
And there is a slight difference in memory.
Both have 16GB of RAM, but there seems to be an 8% difference.
The performance memory improvement is a bit negligible.
Also, I don't know what will happen with the 32GB model.
Now, Blackmagic Low Speed ​​Test is actually a Blackmagic Camera Company.
It is a company that made cameras and Da Vinci Resolve, and it is a tool that
performs such a speed test that checks whether the specifications of the
computer that can run their RAW files are met
. If you look at the top, you can see the
average frame rate for 8K CPU and 8K Metal for average frame rate.
If you convert it to a percentage, you can see that there is a huge difference.
On the M1 MacBook Pro, about 16 frames run on average,
in the CPU, about 53 frames in the metal, but in the 16-inch M1 Pro, the
CPU is 27 frames, the metal is 154 frames , the CPU
is about 68% improvement. The CPU is similar to other benches I do.
However, in this 8K metal part, there is a whopping 190% difference.
It's almost three times that number.
It may not be accurate to know
that this performance difference can actually be bigger
when doing such heavy work, but you can think of it as such a benchmark.
I did the disk speed test again.
It's quite impressive.
The read/write speed of the 16-inch M1 Pro was nearly doubled.
In this way, you will be able to feel quickly in every part of your work.
As you can see even if you try to build a computer, the
most important thing is the disk speed in order to feel the speed in the most Internet or general operation .
Over 5200 reads per second.
Over 4700 writes per second.
It's really another level.
GFX Bench Metal This is the best 3D
benchmarking tool.
But now this is a very gaming-oriented graphics, so
these silicon Macs usually have very low benchmarks.
Compared to other devices and benchmarks, the performance is a bit inferior.
Maybe it's a little less optimised?
It's not good to judge based on this alone, but
anyway, it's a very good tool to compare to the M1 and M1 Pro.
I do a lot of 3D graphics.
So, if you look, there are Aztec Ruin, Car Chase, and Manhattan 3.1
T-Rex, but this one has a different spinning scene.
So, the performance required for each scene is different,
so there are some differences in the graph for each scene
.
At most 80%, only the higher tiers, which are
now Aztecs, have an 80% improvement, and
most of the others have a 90-95, 99% improvement.
The 3D processing ability is really doubled.
When it becomes 8GPU -> 16GPU , it seems
that there is a performance improvement as much as the number is doubled
.
I was quite impressed.
And now finally, 3DMark WildLife Extreme.
The reason I'm doing this is because it's
one of the only universally comparable apps
because you can do this benchmark on iPad, iPhone and even desktop .
So, I also ran 3DMark.
So, for this, I put the chart together for each graphic card.
So, in the case of M1, there were many stories that it was
originally similar to Nvidia's GeForce GTX 1650, but in
my case, it was actually difficult to exceed 5000.
In the case of 1650 , it is close to 7000
, so I think it is safe to think that there is a difference in performance.
And now the M1 Pro comes out around 10304, which is
almost twice as good as the M1 .
In my case.
This number is the performance of the RTX3050 graphics card for laptops.
A little better than that.
And now it's pretty similar to the RTX2060 for laptops.
But now it's a
lot lower than just a regular 2060 or just a regular 3060.
It's a lot lower than the 3050.
I think this is the minimum performance I expected.
I thought it would come out a little more than this, but in fact, even if only 3050 for laptops came out, it
was considerably better than the M1, and the M1 MacBook Pro was quite good
, but I think it's a performance that can fill a
lot of the graphic performance part that was a little bit disappointing .
It's really different from the actual 3080 desktop graphics card and there is a lot of gap.
And there is a significant gap with the 3080 for laptops, and
I am personally very curious if the M1 Max will be this much.
In fact, in the case of this performance, the
actual performance may be different.
Of course, I have to use it
more, but anyway, the basic graphics performance of the M1 Pro itself is not bad.
It can show pretty good processing power for a laptop.
Also, I ran Unreal Engine for a while and was surprised that it went
so quickly while baking the light reflection map because the computational power is so good
. (The speed difference from the M1 was huge.) Even though
it is an app using Intel Rosetta, I was surprised to see how well
it worked, and it may not be enough to do 3D professionally, but
I think it feels a bit quadro.
It has a little bit more 3D graphics performance for the job and
now it's definitely not real for video games.
I didn't attach it to the video, but even if
you play games like Rise of the Tomb Raider, it's for Mac.
Performance is much worse.
The performance of this is lower than the actual graphics card.
So I don't think it's good to implement any 3D graphics like that.
Instead, it seems to show quite good performance in those functions
that use 3D when creating in software tools .
So I felt that the M1 Pro is a pretty good product.
Again, if I want to organize my first impression a little more, I like the design and the feeling of use.
Everything is good, but it is
too heavy and I
feel a little ignorant, so
I think the performance of the 16-inch should be very good
.
Because it looks like it should be so good.
And it's nice to have a port.
Mini LED best for promotional display.
The speakers were pretty good too.
Dolby Atmos sound.
The feeling of space was very good and it was quite nice.
To sum up the performance, the graphics are 90% better than the M1.
The CPU is more than 60% better than the M1, so
you can think of it as a 75%-80% improvement overall.
It can be said that it shows a considerably better performance than the M1.
There was a port, the
screen got bigger, 120 frames came in, and a mini LED came in.
Now, so now look at reasoned the price
we have M1 MacBook is quite price-performance ratio is good Was You
entry when the model compared to makin more complicated whether some how if heavy than 13-inch
MacBook Pro or Air the Known issues: Resolved those who are a little more basic models
If you are considering upgrading because you have to do things, if you go to the
full option of the M1 MacBook Pro 13-inch MacBook Pro like me, if you
go up to 8GPU 8CPU 16GB RAM, the price will be 2.23 million won.
In this case, if you come as the basic model of the
16-inch M1 Pro , the price will be about 50% higher.
But, as I said, performance is improved by 75 to 80 percent,
so it's actually more cost-effective.
It doesn't seem like a bad option.
And especially in terms of Mac, the performance comparison itself with the products that
used AMD graphics cards in the past is quite good to the point of being really sorry.
That said, the M1 MacBook is already pretty good.
This is a bit pricey when you say 336 million won.
So I think the 14-inch basic M1 Pro model for
2.69 million won would be pretty good.
There seems to be a high probability that this will be cost-benefitting.
Because 8CPU, 14GPU,
even if you do that
, it's only a difference of 300,000 won from the 13-inch M1 MacBook Pro.
But now that I have so much to gain, I don't think it's too
bad to actually go with that model .
I haven't tested it for sure, but the
performance difference seems to be about 10-15% compared to the 16-inch base model.
Since the price difference is not much different from the M1 MacBook series
, I think the 14-inch M1 Pro product will be very popular.
This was my first impression of unboxing today, and I
will try to use it in more detail and make a review.
