From Affinity, they wanted to analyze the graphics performance of the new MacBook Pro.
A few days ago, we had the opportunity to discover a series of Benchmark tests on the performance of the new M1 Pro and M1 Max processors in the 2021 MacBook Pro range. How could it be otherwise, the performance is brutal. But what about the graphics?
From the application developers team Affinity photoAs they tell us in 9to5mac, they have done an in-depth analysis of the graphics performance of the processors of the MacBook Pro models recently introduced by Apple.
The results were surprising and, as this review indicates, the M1 Max chips are superior to graphics cards as beastly as the Radeon Pro W6900X “in some jobs”.
The testing was carried out by Andy Somerfield, lead developer on the team that launched the popular Affinity photo editing app.
The # M1Max is the fastest GPU we’ve ever measured in the @affinitybyserif Photo reference. It outperforms the W6900X – a $ 6,000, 300W desktop part – because it delivers immense compute performance, immense on-chip bandwidth, and immediate data transfer in and out of the GPU (UMA). pic.twitter.com/iPg3L56y2u

Andy Somerfield explained that Apple chips perform better than a Radeon Pro W6900 card which costs more than 6,000 dollars. In his analysis, the developer reported that the Affinity Photo app works best with a GPU that has high compute performance and fast data transfer with the GPU. The AMD Radeon Pro graphics card was the fastest so far.
The Radeon Pro W6900X offers a total of 32 GB of memory with 512 GB / s of bandwidth, while Apple’s M1 Max chip has 32 cores and 400 GB / s of unified memory bandwidth. Although technically inferior, the processor outperforms the Radeon Pro in performing some tasks. What do you think about this?
