This is how GeekBench describes its two tests: CPU and Compute: Like I said, there are lots of options when testing systems. However, the results of the CPU tests will match closely between the two M1 processors because both contain the same number and type of CPU cores. The GPU results from the additional cores in the M1 Max will be even better than the M1 Pro. NOTE: My 2021 MacBook Pro uses an M1 Pro CPU, mainly because when I bought it I needed to balance getting good performance while still staying on budget.

Test results between software are not, except in general terms, due to different default setting values and using two different master files because, for some reason, Adobe Premiere and Media Encoder were unable to read a ProRes 4444 file. Test results between machines are directly comparable. Testing spanned two days. All applications were kept in the foreground while a test was running.Ĭompression settings were the defaults for each app. I used the current version of GeekBench 5 (5.4.2) and Cinebench (23.200) to test all three systems. There are an infinite number of variables that could be tested: variations in CPU, RAM size, storage speed, compression settings, number and type of background processes… the list is truly endless.

I don’t know how many cores the other GPUs have. The M1 Pro also has 16 GPU cores, built into the M1 SoC.

NOTE: If you are thinking of buying a new MacBook Pro, here’s an article that can help you decide how to configure it.

They also provide a sense of the performance improvements you can expect if you upgrade to a new M1 system. These twelve tests provide a good comparison between benchmarks and real-world media processing. I discovered that benchmarks don’t necessarily reflect the real-world. I also learned that RAM doesn’t really affect the performance of individual apps, the CPU in your computer makes a huge difference in performance, and Apple and Adobe leverage the M1 SoC in significantly different ways. But, the M1 did not win every race in these tests. Yes, the new M1 MacBook Pro is very, very fast. What I discovered is that “performance” is much more nuanced than I expected. So, since I just plunked down the bucks for a new 16″ MacBook Pro (which arrived last week), I wondered just how much faster – especially with a focus on media editing – a new M1 MacBook Pro would be compared to, say, the 2013 MacBook Pro or a 2017 27″ iMac both of which I own. But, unlike popular websites and individuals of high-net-worth, I can’t afford to buy a new computer every year. Like many, I’ve spent the last couple of weeks reading popular website reviews of the latest M1 MacBook Pro laptops and comparing them to 2020 Intel systems.
