NEW M4 MacBook Pro with M4 Max looks WILD!

[@frenchpressfinance]

Thank you for the "All M-series Chip" performance chart, especially the one where they're ranked by performance. Really shows where my M1 Max is sitting relative to everything else. I'm still extremely happy with it for what I anticipate doing with it, so I imagine I'll keep it until the M5 or M6 come out but I appreciate you showing it like that. Dropping that much $$ on the M1 Max was a leap of faith for me at the time and while it's not the top of the chart any more, happy to know it's still a good buy.

[@ericbauer4559]

Agreed. Ordered an M4 mini w/512gb, looking to compare it to my base M1 Max studio.

[@zh9732]

I had to sell a motorcycle to buy a darn 16” max. I’m hoping I get 10 freakin years out of it at least. I got about 12 out of the Mac pro and it was about the same price. I may jump for 3x, maybe 2x the core count though

@@zh9732 Apple's 8ish year self imposed limit on operating system support is something of an issue with the more powerful old machines which are still fully competent, but not supported. Yes there are some workarounds, but Apple users don't usually enjoy workarounds and the endless problems.

This month I bought 16 inch MBP M1 Pro 16 512 for 1500, and I’m so happy with it, since blender has support for metal technology- render power is sufficient enough for me and cpu performance is on par with my pc with Intel 12700, while doing all that on a battery with no sweat.

[@michvod]

Please, please, do a comparison of M4 with M1 Pro and M1 Max chips. Last time, you compared M3 with M2, but not with M1. There are lots of people out there (including me) that are still rocking MBPs with M1 chips and for most of us those are still perfectly adequate, but if M4 really is so much better, it will be a good consideration towards an upgrade to M4.

[@martyk656]

Agreed. I'd like to know exactly where & when having more GPU cores is worth having if you don't play games on Macs. I've got the extra GPU cores on my M1 Max Studio but my i9 Windows PC with an RTX 4080 GPU can render in a couple of minutes what takes 15 minutes on my Studio.

[@alphaarchive5262]

Unless you really need that extra performance for a heavy kind of usage, the M1 chip is still perfectly usable today.

[@michvod]

@@alphaarchive5262 M1 is perfect for probably 80-90% of all people, but I am creative content creator and need that extra "oomph" sometimes. For example, for video export and editing, and photo noise reduction and upscaling. If it takes now 10 seconds to do a task, and it will take 3 seconds on M4, then that saves me lots of time - instead of doing one thing for 3 hours, you can get it done in just 1, and those hours quickly add up :) Also, one more thing, the SSD in M1 MBPs were blazing fast by the 2021 standards, but now you can get a 1TB SSD for less than $100 that is twice as fast as the one in M1. So would be also interesting to compare the SSD speeds between generations.

[@radiologistanonymous2353]

I am a routine user. So still using M1. But for professional users [whoever they may be]; this is possible the ideal cycle to replace the old MacBook. So, comparison with M1 variants is the best needed. Thanks for your query. And I hope more like and reply on your comment will draw his attention.

I love apple but come on the m1 pro and m1 max chips changed the game and I love love love seeing everyone else using the m1 pro still!

[@fVNzO]

IMO the RAM upgrade should be a priority over the storage and beefier M4 Pro. They actually made it a bit cheaper to double up to 48GB, that it used to be for the 32/36 of the older generations. So even though you're still being robbed in broad daylight, it's a bit better value this time around.

[@JustineCooksVegan]

Do you think the MacBook m4 pro chip with 14 cpu/20 gpu with 48 gb of ram is worth getting over an m3 max chip with 14/30 & 36 ram for video editing? The m3 max chips seems to heat up a little bit. Thank you! ☺️🙏🏼

[@goinginzane]

​@JustineCooksVegan for video editing performance, the GPU is usually the most important factor. The M4 Pro GPUs didn't seem to get that much of a performance upgrade this generation, so pretty good chance the M3 Max will still outperform the M4 Pro by a healthy margin and thus will probably do better during most editing scenarios.

[@etherealbolweevil6268]

I see the RAM being fabricated directly on the processor chip, so more RAM is a new chip design and new manufacturing run with all the associated costs (fewer CPU chips per wafer etc.). This seems a much more expensive thing than the old days with an external SIMM option and likely to plateau due to die size and chip density limitations. I can see more memory moving into the CPU / GPU components rather than sitting as a discrete block on the chip. I am, historically, usually wrong on such things.

[@JustineCooksVegan]

@@goinginzane thanks for the info! So you think 30 GPU on the m3 max is going to make a different compared to the 20 GPU on m4 pro chip? I guess I was told extra ram is important in video editing so was going to go from 36 gb to 48 on an M4. But now I’m reconsidering if the 10 GPU is more important… 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@zacksstuff]

The one for me is going to be an M4 Air once that hopefully drops in a few months. Ability to drive 2 external displays with the lid open and 16 gigs standard checks 2 pretty important boxes for me.

I am so annoyed by the "faster" term being applied to something that is multiplicative. The term for the 2.5x multiplier would be 2.5 times as fast, not faster. Faster implies that the end result is actually 3.5 times as fast: 1x base speed + 2.5x faster = 3.5 times as fast. Yes, I am being pedantic, but I find it annoying that Apple uses this misleading term.

Regardless, I decided to upgrade my 4 yr old M1 Air with 16 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD to M4Pro with 48 GB RAM and 2 TB Storage. I expect to get another 4-5 years of use out of the new laptop.

What blows me away is the efficiency. These machines do things with such little power used, its on another level. The fact you have this much power on a laptop with that amazing battery life, GAME CHANGER! As long as it has 16GB of RAM? Sold.

I have a fully configured M1 Ultra Mac Studio and I absolutely love it. But as you know, man it was expensive.

I have the 64 Core GPU in my Mac Studio, but the newer chips like the M4 have hardware ray tracing.

Didn’t read all the comments, but HUGE differences between the M4 Pro and M4 Max chips is that the M4 Pro chips have 1 Video Encoder Engine and 1 ProRes Encoder/Decoder Engine while the M4 Max has 2 Video Encoder Engines and 2 ProRes Encoder/Decoder Engines! Interesting though, both chips only have 1 Video Decoder Engine. I can’t wait to see the comparisons that you guys come up with to test these two variants. Me personally, I’m waiting on the M5 chips.

@@sunthroughtheblinds haha yeah, by my own doing :( I completely flooded my M1 with coffee and I needed a machine for 3 days later to perform at a show. Where I live in Canada prevented me from getting it fixed in time so I had to buy another while AppleCare fixed my M1. Only place was a local shop here called Staples. So I ‘forced’ myself to “upgrade” which wasn’t much of an upgrade. M3 lowered memory bandwidth and P cores directly affecting what I do. Now, perhaps the M3 outshine the M1 for most things, I’ve noticed longer render times with it.

Checking back in to confirm something. The M4 Geekbench numbers are from the iPad Pro right? Could that score go up because its going to get active cooling in the new machines?

I would like your opinion on the configurations, for example: you can't get 64GB of memory on the pro or the "binned" max, you have to select the full 40 core max to get the 64GB upgrade. Also you can get the pro with 48GB of memory, but if you then upgrade to the binned M4 Max the memory goes DOWN to 36GB, for MORE money. It seems these M4 are very expensive and they need the margins on these upgrades to make up for the extra costs, what do you think?

[@stephenshelley6992]

The base Mac mini seems like a good ideal, but once you start upgrading anything the Mac Studio still offers better bang for the buck. Similar priced M4 Pro chip inside the Mac mini (12 CPU, 16 GPU, 48 GB ram) has 273GB/s of memory bandwidth while the M2 Max inside the Mac Studio (12 CPU, 30 GPU, 32GB ram) is 400GB/s memory bandwidth. The Mac Studio just seems like a better deal with more GPU cores and faster memory bandwidth. Am I missing something when I look at the Mac mini?

Nice! The Pro is a real Pro again, and the regular M4 is really impressive as well. I'm currently using an M3 Max, which is a real upgrade compared to the M3 Pro. For most people or my personal use. I'd consider a refurbished M1 Pro, M2 Pro, or now the regular M4. Even for my most challenging tasks, I'd have no need for the M4 Pro, since I don't need massive GPU power.

I really like the present overall design…if they do change it for the worse with M5, I will then definitely grab an M4Pro or M4Max next year (new or refurb). I did the same when the last of the non-Retina 2012 MBPs was still sold into 2013. That machine is still going strong, although my main machines are now an M1Pro 16” and a M2 Air.

[@jpracing893]

@ Yeah I do as well, I heard it’s basically the same just its thinner, still keeping all the ports and the overall design language just won’t be as chunky. But yeah if there’s any issues with the design or it overheats etc, I’d probably pick up a M4 Max as they’ll come down in price. But for now as we’re probably a year away from a design change I’m happy to hold off.

[@songsan807]

The good news for me is that the M1 and M2 MBP are going to be cheaper. So I might look into getting one of those instead. Unless I opt for the regular M4.

[@nickshillito1170]

I recently broke the screen on my M1 Pro MBP and I think instead of spending £800 to fix the screen I’m going to grab an M4 pro as some of my music projects are testing the M1 Pro a bit!

[@ekinteko]

Hey Luke, I loved your performance in Superstore! 😁

[@ARSENiK_Productions]

I’m surprised they didn’t do Studio and Pro updates. I’m still waiting on them to do a Mac Pro Max, with like a dual socket setup

[@anianii]

4:49 Just for the future, please don't confuse "1.2 times faster" with "1.2 times the performance". One is an increase of 120%, the other of 20%, which is what you actually mean

[@amitkumar-wj8gn]

These guys are in such a hurry to release videos, the math goes for a toss

[@cpcallen]

No, there is no ordinary usage of the phrase "1.2 times faster" than means an increase of 120%; it always means an increase of 20%.

[@anianii]

@ You're referring to "1.2 times as fast". Unless you're using it wrong

[@CollinShook]

What it it mean if one were to say “the new computer is 1 times faster”?

[@anianii]

@ That would mean twice as fast, so a performance increase of 100%

[@ZZxlizrx]

Hey! I just wanna tell you for your old macbook videos you can upgrade their os with opencore legacy patcher

[@EmrahDemirag]

I'm super excited to switch form 16 inch 2019 intel to 14 inch m4 pro max. Finally it's happening

[@christopherstewart7811]

Some of the performance gains should be attributed to the use of ARMv9 and the increased memory bandwidth.

[@ktolis]

estimated M4 Ultra multi score: 38967, 2.1x M2 ultra, 1.8x m1 ultra, that is if the spec is 16+8=24 cpu cores as in relation to m1/m2 relative scores of ultra to max they give around 50% performance increase if the cores are 18+8=26 then the estimation would be around 42k multi-core score

[@TravellingTechie]

Still rocking my M1 Pro MBP, still don’t see a reason to upgrade. Mine does everything I want it to. The Mac mini however might be great for home though…

[@codecaine]

I agree I bought the 16 inch pro with 48gb memory and 1tb. In reality the base model is good enough for CPU speed.

[@toolszz]

M1 Max MacBook here ; idk I think Apple would need to have to have a bunch of new hardware features for me to consider upgrading

[@gqsown2516]

I have an M1 Max with 1TB and I am nowhere near using 512GB. So, realistically idc about moving up in storage. I do it to future proof my macbook pro but if we being honest, I am never keeping it long enough to run out of storage.

[@AbdalaBrothers]

The only guy actually predicting numbers with maths while every other channel only repeated the same thing apple said in their keynote and even managed to take longer than apple

[@Dygear]

"Next do the storage" - Yup. So true. 256 on a laptop doesn't make a damn bit of sense.

[@EliezYT]

I have no idea what happened to the 6 E cores? The M4 has it but why not the M4 Pro and M4 Max? It seems like they are just leaving performance and efficiency on the table.

[@arctan2010]

I agree with the sweet spot choice for the 14”. Can’t wait for the hands on review.

[@Mamo878]

The M4 Air is going to be quiet BEAST - and maybe the best value of any of them.

[@SB-fe5pc]

Not interesting. Same thing for many years in a row. :( Until they remove the "bangs" from the screen, I have no desire to buy.

[@justinkuglin8927]

Makes me wonder what the M4 Ultra is going to look like.

[@NickCharles]

I'm happy they upgraded the base RAM (and I suspect "Apple Intelligence" is the reason why), but I agree the base storage is still criminally low. Either up it or incorporate an m.2 slot so we can upgrade ourselves down the line. I am so excited for the option for an anti-glare display! It's the one thing that bothers me the most about using my M1 Air. Well, other than the pitiful 2 USB C ports both on the same side of the device...

[@peetiegonzalez1845]

Reasonably speaking this looks about 2x as fast as my M1 Max. I'm managing to get by with that, running Windows and MacOS simultaneously in 4K, with demanding apps on both sides... I could use the extra power but not sure I'm *quite* ready to drop another $5k on an upgrade just yet.
