So we have just had the announcement of the brand new macbook pros with the m1 pro and the m1
max chipset so today i've decided to do a comparison for you guys
of the m1 max 16 inch macbook pro versus the macbook pro 16-inch intel i9 older macbook pro
and today I want to do a specs review for you.
Hi Guys it's Matt here, so that's right today I want to do a comparison of the brand new
macbook pro 16 inch with the m1 max chipset inside the fully loaded one versus the older intel i9
macbook pro 16 inch and i want to do a specs reviewer comparison of both of these models
well let's get started so remember guys this is a comparison between the macbook pro 16 inch the
m1 max not the m1 pro i will be making another video for the m1 pro very shortly so do check
that out on my channel when it comes up but this will be the m1 max 16 inch macbook pro
versus the macbook pro 16 inch intel i9 and this is the model that came out two years ago
and it's the last intel macbook pro 16-inch so let's start them with the display type so both
these have great displays so the macbook pro intel i9 model has an led ips technology screen
whereas the brand new macbook pro with the m1 max inside it has a mini led pro motion display
and this basically means it's much more brighter it's much more clearer in its contrast and also
at the same time it's also a pro motion display so it means it's got a 120 hertz refresh rate
and also it's got adaptive screen as well so it can go right down to 10 hertz and go all
the way back up to 120 hertz and apple call this an xdr retina display for the actual screen size
basically they're almost identical the macbook pro intel version has a 16 inch basically dead on
whereas the macbook pro 16 inch now or the m1 max has a 16.2 inch display so it's ever so slightly
larger then for screen resolution the macbook pro with the m1 max has a resolution of 3456 by 2234
whereas the normal 16 inch macbook pro with the intel i9 has a 3072 by 1920 so you can see a boost
up here in pixels and talk about a boost up in pixels you can definitely see this in the pixels
per inch or the ppi whereas the macbook pro with the m1 max has a 254 pixels per inch whereas the
old intel i9 version only has 226 pixels per inch moving on to the display refresh rate and i've
already spoke about this a little bit already the original intel i9 version had a 60 hertz refresh
rate and to be honest all macbook pros before this had a 60hz refresh rate whereas now the brand new
m1 max has a 120 hertz pro motion xdr wrestling display now so it's really really good it's double
the amount of the refresh rate or can go up to double the amount for brightness and true tone
the new macbook pro with the m1 max has a 1000 and nits has its standard brightness it can go
slightly brighter than this but for its standard display brightness it's 1000 nits whereas the
original macbook pro with the intel i9 only has a 500 nits both of these screens have that true tone
technology as well built into them moving onwards then we do have the actual processors and this is
where things change quite a lot so now we have the option for the macbook pro 16 inch we have a
choice between m1 pro and also the m1 max and like i said i'm talking about the m1 max here today but
it's nice to know you've got those two choices and both of those have the choice of a 10 core
cpu and that's two efficiency cores um eight performance cores and also with the actual
graphics as well you can actually go up to a 32 core gpu but you can also pick a 24 gpu in the
m1 max then for the macbook pro 16 inch with the intel i9 and there is a choice you can pick an
i7 but with the intel i9 it was only an 8 core cpu and they were basically the same cause all
along it and basically you also had a dedicated amd radeon graphics card that ranged basically
from a 5500 with the intel i9 configuration but you could also pick an amd radeon 5600 as well as
a dedicated graphics card inside the macbook pro so straight away there are some big differences
here it's been claimed that the m1 max with the 32 core gpu is basically double the amount of speed
and power what you got with that amd 5600 what was inside the intel i9 the maximum configuration
so moving on to a geekbench 5 multi-core score for both of these macbook pros so starting with
the intel the intel i9 actually had a score of 6870 for its multi-core score and to be
honest this was a little less than the original m1 chipset but for the m1 max with that 10 core cpu
we now get a multi-core score of 11 542 this is actually even higher than the lowest spec mac pro
desktop and is close to the second lowest mac pro desktop you can pick out there with a exeon
chipset inside it so this is absolutely phenomenal for an actual multi-core score for ram for the m1
max not the m1 pro just the m1 max you can choose between 32 gigabytes and 64 gigabytes
and then with the macbook pro with the intel i9 you had a choice of 16 gigabytes all the way up to
64 gigabytes of ram moving on then to storage both of these macbooks have exactly the same storage
configurations in choices of the amount of storage that you want so this is from 512 gigabytes all
the way up to eight terabytes on both of these models for ports this is where things change
quite a bit here so with the brand new macbook pro m1 max you now have three times usb c ports
and these are thunderbolt 4s and usb 4 ports you've also got the return of magsafe for charging
you've got a hdmi 2.0 port and you've also got an sd xc card slot as well to put in your sd card
but with the old macbook pro with the intel i9 you only had four times usbc ports and you had to use
these ports for charging and you also had to buy dongles and things to plug other bits and pieces
into your macbook pro so just quickly guys as we're going through the specs review

button right let's go back to those specs reviews for operating system wise both of these macbook
pros will be able to support the same operating system and that is mac os monterey but basically
it's most likely the macbook pro m1 max will probably get an extra one or two operating systems
in its live spam but don't worry the macbook pro intel inan is definitely going to get quite a few
more mac os updates in its time then moving on to battery life then this is where there's some
huge changes here so i'm going to start with the macbook pro with the intel i9 it gave us
up to 11 hours of battery life but the brand new macbook pro 16 inch with the m1 max gives us 21
hours that is basically almost double the amount what we got in the intel i9 and that is absolutely
phenomenal then for charging wattage the macbook pro m1 max has a 140 watt charger with that
magsafe connection whereas the intel i9 macbook pro has a usbc with a 96 watt charger for weight
the macbook pro with the m1 max it's a little bit more heavier 2.2 kilograms but the macbook pro
with the intel i9 only weighs 2 kilograms so to be honest it's not that much difference between them
then for actual stereo speakers the macbook pro 16-inch m1 max has stereo speakers but also has
spatial audio whereas the macbook pro just that basically has the stereo speakers but doesn't have
the ability to use spatial audio inside it moving on for the bluetooth both of these devices have
bluetooth 5.0 so no changes there but then for webcam basically the macbook pro 16-inch with
the m1 max has a brand new 1080p camera inside it and this is hidden inside the
notch at the top whether you love it or you hate it but the macbook pro 16-inch intel i9
also has a webcam but this is only a 720p and this is hidden in the border at the top for
price-wise then so i'm gonna do actual comparison first of all of the macbook pro 16 inch with an
m1 pro inside it so this is not the max and this starts at 2499 us dollars whereas the macbook pro
with the 16 inch and it had an intel i7 at the time started at 2 399 us dollars and both these
models came with a 512 gigabytes configuration so you can see here it's only a hundred dollars more
but now if we pick the m1 max instead in the 16 inch macbook pro the price starts at 3 499
us dollars and this gives you the one terabyte as the base model in comparison the macbook pro
16 inch with an intel i9 this was the more higher spec one this started at three thousand
three hundred and ninety nine us dollars so a hundred dollars less than the macbook pro with
the m1 max inside it and this also gave you one terabyte of storage moving on to color options
both of these macbook pros have had the exact same color options as silver and space grey
so will you be buying yourself a brand new macbook pro well there you have it guys you can see that
the m1 max in that 16 inch macbook pro completely blows away the specs of the intel 16 inch with an
i9 chipset inside it it's absolutely incredible well guys it's also time to wrap up this video
