2021 MacBook Pro Reaches Peak Graphics Performance Even On Battery

The 2021 MacBook Pro manages to reach its peak graphics performance even when running on battery power, just as Apple claimed. The company boasts on its MacBook Pro web page, “We Do This All Day.'” The keynote presentation details how the M1 Pro and M1 Max provide top performance even on battery power, which a third-party hardware specialist has now confirmed.

Apple’s 2021 MacBook Pro received the second batch of Apple Silicon chips, the M1 Pro and M1 Max. These advanced processors add two more CPU cores to the eight found in Apple’s first-generation computer chip, the M1. Whereas the M1 had 8 graphics cores, the M1 Pro doubles that to 16, and the M1 Max quadruples to 32. Increases in unified memory and bandwidth make everything run faster by eliminating bottlenecks in getting the data and instructions to these hungry processors.

Apple’s keynote boasted that the M1 Pro and M1 Max continued Apple’s legacy of extreme power efficiency. Apple’s Senior Vice President of Hardware Technologies, Johny Srouji, detailed how the new MacBook Pro processors compared to those found in PC laptops. In short, the M1 Pro outperforms many PC laptops even with discrete GPUs while using less power. The M1 Max also matches up well with top-of-the-line PC laptops that use as much as 100 watts more power. The most impressive statement is that the 2021 MacBook Pro can achieve this while using battery power. The PC laptops see a considerable drop in GPU performance when unplugged, making the M1 Max up to 3.3 times faster. A deep dive on the M1 Pro and M1 Max chips by Anandtech confirmed in the comment section that Apple’s 2021 MacBook Pro runs at full performance, even when using battery power, and anecdotally stated that the GPU used at most 45 watts.

How MacBook Pro Stays Cool

Apple’s 2021 MacBook Pro seems to draw as much power it needs when it needs it with little concern for heat or battery drain since it is so incredibly efficient with both. Apple’s latest laptops have dual fans that move 50-percent more air than the previous generation. However, Apple notes that these are rarely needed for everyday tasks. For example, when handling a heavy load, processing multi-layered video tracks with filters and effects at 4K and 8K ProRes, the fans can kick in to quickly cool the device and allow maximum processing speed to continue. Anandtech notes that in its conclusion that the M1 Max competes against the best desktop systems.

The 14-inch model provides up to 17 hours of video playback or 11 hours of wireless web browsing, while the 16-inch model, with its greater battery capacity, can last up to 21 when playing video and 14 hours browsing the web on Wi-Fi. As Apple points out, these laptops can do it all day. The 2021 MacBook Pro can punch like a champ while taking only an occasional sip from the battery, impressing with both high-performance and long-lasting endurance.
