So I don't know about you i've been completely wowed by the brand new
macbook pros we have got now macbook pros with an m1 pro and an m1 max chipset inside it
so today what i want to do is a comparison or a specs comparison
of a macbook pro 16 inch with an m1 pro versus a 16 inch macbook pro with the intel i9 inside it.
Hi Guys it's Matt here, so that's right today I want to do a comparison of the brand new 16 inch
macbook pro with an m1 pro chip inside it versus the older intel i9 macbook pro 16 inch i'm going
to do a comparison of the specs well let's begin so then let's get started with this comparison
so on the left side we've got the macbook pro 16 inch with the m1 pro chipset inside
and on the right side we've got the macbook pro 16-inch with an intel i9 inside so let's first
we'll do a comparison of the display type so both of these have some great displays
however the macbook pro 16-inch with the intel i9 has an led ips technology was the technology that
apple had been using for the last sort of seven eight years now with their retina displays but
the macbook pro 16 inch with the m1 pro has that brand new mini led pro motion display very similar
to what we've got in the ipad pro 12.9 inch model and this is absolutely fantastic of a display
what i'll talk about a little bit more further into this comparison
but for the actual screen sizes themselves they both are regarded as a 16 inch macbook pros but
the intel i9 version exactly does have a 16 inch display whereas the brand new macbook pro 16 inch
actually has a 16.2 inch display but it will still be referred to as the 16 inch macbook
then for screen resolution there is some changes here especially with that brand new mini led panel
in the macbook pro with the m1 pro so starting with that one the resolution on that is 3450
by 2234 where the macbook pro 16 inch with the intel i9 actually has a resolution of 3072 by 1920
so you can see there is some big upset in the resolution on that 16 inch and the main reason
to do this is because of the pixels per inch that has even changed as well so the macbook pro 16
inch with the intel i9 actually had 226 pixels per inch what was phenomenal but the macbook pro
16 inch with the m1 pro now actually has 254 pixels per inch was even better then for the
display refresh rate there are some big changes here again the macbook pro 16 inch with the
intel r9 has a 60hz refresh rate and apple have been using a 60hz refresh rate for many years
but this year for the first time ever because of that mini led display and also because it's known
as the xdr retina display and also we've got that adaptive refresh rate i could keep on going here
basically the macbook pro 16-inch m1 pro has a 120 hertz refresh rate but it can actually drop
all the way down to 24 hertz and because of this you'll get some great battery saving inside it
for brightness and true tone so the macbook pro 16-inch intel i9 has a 500 nits display
of brightness whereas the macbook pro with the m1 pro has a thousand nits and again it's because of
that brand new display and that brand new panel in fact that actual thousand nits can go even higher
in some hdr content as well but both of these monitors on both of these screens and both these
macbook pros do also support true tone technology moving on to the processor and the cpu next
so with the macbook pro 16 inch you actually had choices of between an intel i7 and i9 and this
was a 9th generation intel processor inside it the i7 had six cores and the i9 had eight cores
but with the macbook pro 16-inch m1 pro we actually have now got two choices again we
have the m1 pro and the m1 max now both of these are 10 core cpus and they're absolutely phenomenal
again for the 16 inch macbook pro both the m1 pro and the m1 max is made up of a 10 core cpu
and inside those cores you have two efficiency cores and you also have eight performance cores
also i'll just quickly check out there as well that with the m1 pro you can get up to a 16 core
gpu whereas the macbook pro 16 inch with the intel i9 had an amd radeon graphics card instead for
geekbench scoring a geekbench 5 multi-core scoring there is a massive difference here you can see
straight away that the macbook pro with the intel i9 has a geekbench score 6870 but the m1 pro is
like double this almost at 11 542 was a massive increase in multi-core performance compared
to the older intel i9 from two years ago for ram amount choices for the m1 pro you can choose
up to 32 gigabytes of ram with the m1 max you can pick higher but with just the m1 pro
it's 32 gigabytes but with the macbook pro 16-inch with the intel i9 you've got the choice between 16
all the way up to 64 gigabytes of ram however it would probably be more likely that even with just
16 gigabytes of ram inside the macbook pro with the m1 pro it'll probably be better than a intel
i9 with 64 gigabytes of ram for quite a lot of tasks out there for storage amounts they're very
very similar in what you can choose from yes the macbook pro 16 inch with the m1 pro does actually
have a faster storage inside it but the amount of storage is exactly the same and this is 512
gigabytes all the way to eight terabytes on both of the models so just quickly guys as we're going

that is when i'll be announcing who the winner is also at the same time guys if you're liking this
video so far please do press the like button right let's go back to those specs reviews
moving on to ports next of all and there's some big changes here again so the last generation
macbook pros were all about usb-c ports and the macbook pro 16-inch with that intel i9 just had
four usbc ports however the brand new macbook pro 16-inch has three usb c ports and these are usb
4 and thunderbolt 4 ports and we've got the return of magsafe back on this macbook pro
we've also got a hdmi 2.0 slot and we've also got an sdxc card slot as well on this macbook pro and
it's really good to have those ports back for operating system-wise both of these macbook pros
can run the latest version of mac os monterey but i would point out that both of these macbooks will
be able to support many mac os into the future but the m1 pro being it's two years newer and has also
got that brand new apple silicon chipset inside it will probably get quite a few more operating
system updates compared to the intel counterpart for battery life though there are some big changes
again and this is one of the biggest ones of all and that is with the macbook pro 16-inch with the
intel i9 you've got up to 11 hours of battery life whereas now with the macbook pro 16-inch with the
m1 pro you can get up to 21 hours this again is almost double the amount of what you got on the
previous generation was absolutely phenomenal for a charging wattage and this is with those chargers
so with the macbook pro with the intel i9 you had a usbc charger it was a 96 watt charger
but now what you do have you have a magsafe charger it's 140 watt charger for the macbook
pro 16 inch and it's also got some fast charging capabilities for weight there isn't actually
that much inside it so the macbook pro with the intel i9 was two kilograms whereas the macbook
pro 16-inch for the m1 pro is now 2.1 kilograms for stereo speakers both of them have this but
the macbook pro 16-inch does also have spatial audio inside again for bluetooth technology
both of these macbook pros run on the exact same bluetooth technology and that is bluetooth 5.0
then for starting prices and remember this is the starting price of a macbook pro m1 pro and also
the starting price of a macbook pro 16 inch with an intel i7 this time and these were the lowest
baseline macbook pros you can buy so for the intel i7 one it starts at 2 399 us dollars and
that will give you 512 gigabytes of storage but the new macbook pro actually only comes in at 100
more than the previous generation you got to remember you've also got things like inflation
that's happened over the last sort of five years as well and also newer technologies but it now
starts at 2499 us dollars and as you can see so far during this comparison there's been a lot of
upgrades on the brand new macbook pro 16 inch and it's definitely worth that extra hundred dollars
more compared to the last generation then finally for colors there are two colors available for both
of these machines and that is a silver and a space gray option so will you be buying yourself a new
macbook pro so as you can see the m1 pro in that 16 inch macbook pro is absolutely incredible in
comparison to the older intel i9 macbook pro don't get me wrong the intel i9 macbook pro will still
be a great machine to use for many years to come but you can see the leaps and bounds with the
apple silicon chipset can do compared to that older model well guys it's time to wrap up this
