Why does M1 Pro and M1 MAX have variations?Think about choosing a MacBook Pro
M1 without variations, M1 Pro and M1 MAX with variations
AppleのM1 Maxを搭載した16インチMacBook Pro(2021)Table 1 below shows the maximum configuration and variations of the SOC (System on a chip) installed on each of the 13 -inch MacBook Pro (M1, 2020), 14 -inch MacBook Pro (2021), and 16 -inch MacBook Pro (2021).It is a table.
| M1 | M1 Pro | M1 Max | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 最大構成 | 8CPU(4+4)/8GPU | 10CPU(8+2)/16GPU | 10CPU(8+2)/32GPU |
| バリエーション1 | 8CPU(4+4)/7GPU | 10CPU(8+2)/14GPU | 10CPU(8+2)/24GPU |
| バリエーション2 | － | 8CPU(6+2)/14GPU | － |
As you can see from this, M1 Pro has two variations: two core CPU core and GPU core, and two core core cuts, and M1 MAX has 8 GPUs.There is one variation that is cut.
First of all, the fact that it is necessary to know is that at the site where semiconductors are manufactured, such designs are not separately prepared, but designed and manufactured with the maximum configuration, and from the maximum configuration, some CPU cores and GPU cores.It is prepared to disable it.
When SOC is implemented on a substrate, a method of disabling this CPU core in the settings on the board side or disabling this core of GPU.It is being.
This is manufactured not only for Apple, but also by any semiconductor manufacturer using the same method (of course, there are exceptions, and another design may be prepared).Regardless of whether it is AMD, Intel, NVIDIA, all manufacturers that manufacture semiconductors with high -performance operators have adopted this method.
