It’s far ahead of the M1 Pro and also beats out other comparison devices, such as the 18-core iMac Pro and the 2020 iMac i7. In the real-world Shadow of the Tomb Raider game test, the M1 Max MacBook Pro 16 pulls off nearly 100 FPS while operating via Rosetta.

The heavier M1 Max machine, which has a slightly higher weight because of its larger SoC heatsink, unsurprisingly proves to be a monster in graphics and GPU benchmarks, such as Geekbench compute and the various GFXBench tests. The results of the numerous benchmarks can be seen in the screenshots posted below, with Miani’s entertaining video also embedded beneath this article. Miani details how much the laptops cost, with the M1 Pro MacBook Pro 16 (16-core GPU, 16 GB RAM) costing US$2,699 and the M1 Max MacBook Pro 16 (32-core GPU, 64 GB RAM) requiring a payment of US$3,899. The M1 Max model was also tested in the same benchmarks in high-power mode, with the arguably disappointing results initially not shining a good light on this particular feature.

The host put the MacBooks through 20 benchmarks to give viewers a thorough idea of just how powerful the new Apple laptops are. The popular TechTuber Luke Miani has posted a new video comparing an M1 Pro-based Apple MacBook Pro 16 with a model featuring the more-powerful M1 Max SoC and additional RAM.
