it might be true that the performance differernces between 24 and 32 cores are not that significant based on current testings and utilities, App developers and production ecosystems are still optimizing and trying to adapt to the new Apple sillicon architecture and development environment. That being said, the extra cores should shine when the developers are more optimized for apple sillicons and this is guarenteeed to happen in the future. If you want your mac to be more sustainable and more competent for long term usage, extra 200 dollars for performance that you cannot increase ( cpu, gpu, ram, you can alwasy connect to external storage) is not an unreasonable investment.
Decided I will need to create some content. I have been using my 24-core 14” M1 Max since November 1st. I had been recording video and editing but never as a vlogger. The 24-core is a beast and really is working great.
It would be great to see the battery life between the 16" 24 Core GPU vs the 16" 32 core GPU since that would be best performance for most cases but may help get better battery.
Why the hell do you even need a video for this? A 24 core will consume less wattage than a 32 with less performance. Do you really need a 20 minute video to understand this?
I've been running the numbers over and over. The 24 core is the only option that makes sense. 32GB ram is crucial and the 24 core for $200 is literally a must.
@@jasonnowwhat5041 I don't do heavy graphics stuff like most youtube reviewers, but I use between 25 to 30gb of memory most of the time. The 16gb is fine, but your resorting to swap memory which will hurt the lifespan of the ssd. I run 2 thunder bolt monitors and do a lot of software development, and I rarely use any swap memory, but I am constantly going over 16gb of memory. So the 32gb is the sweet spot to me.
@@heyaisdabomb the exact channel that you commented this on disproved that. You'll still have plenty of swap usage on a 32GB. 32GB isn't bad, just a waste of money for most people.
@@heyaisdabomb the unified ram doesn’t work mathematically as you so imagine. Even at 13 gb ram usage, the ram pressure stays in the green area and in the low green. Can’t believe how powerful my mb 14 inch is.
I had a 14” 24 core. I ordered about an hour after launch and got it weeks later. I took it home and tested getting MODDED Skyrim running with crossover. It was not a great experience and couldn’t quickly figure out how to get mods running. After seeing the thermal throttling issues between 14” & 16” I returned it to an Apple store a week and half after receiving and ordered a 16” top pro chip with a larger SSD and 16gb ram. The battery life thing was a big deal and I saved money in the swap. People using that config didn’t notice any slow downs while daily drive the config running creative applications so I’m happily waiting for the new one arriving tomorrow. I have the 14” a shot and really liked it’s feel for travel which I do often enough plus I mostly dock my laptop anyway. However I’ve never had smaller than a 15” and the thought of long term video editing and illustrator use with all the panels… 14” is just too small. For $200 the 16” just makes way too much sense because battery for travel is also important!
When I set myself a limit of how much I wanted to spend to have some piece and quiet for the next 6-8 years, I pretty much arrived at the 24 Core GPU Model M1 Max automatically. The 2TB SSD was set, the 32 GB RAM as well so I was left with a decision on the GPU. The 24 Core put it just unter 4K in Germany (3899€) and mine actually arrived exactly as excepted. It was scheduled for November 8th (ordered it at launch day) and got to me that very day shipped directly from China via UPS. Love it so far, video editing multiple 4K camera angles is a breeze without having to use any optimized media whatsoever…! Haven’t gamed on it yet but will play some Rise Of The Tomb Raider this weekend :-)
Congrats man! Good choice! I'm curious what was the original ship date that showed up if you bought a 32 core instead of the 24 core. Let me know if you remember!
@@MaxTechOfficial the 14“ 24 GPU ones were the first ones to get pushed back if I remember correctly. The 32 Core would have been delivered earlier at least the evening right after the keynote. It airs at 7pm Central European time and I placed my order around 11pm that night. Some models were already pushed pack until early December at that point but if I’m not mistaken the 1TB SSD was worse than the 2TB as the price increase is pretty steep and most people probably rather get external storage…!
@@TheHronar yeah that would have been quite a bit cheaper but coming from a completely packed 500GB internal SSD I just couldn’t go there 🙈 I think the 1TB and 2TB are pretty identical in speed though so no downside there…!
*If there is not enough binned chips to meet demand for the 24 core M1 max, then that means they will have to use fully functional 32 core chips but disable 8 in firmware.*
@@kansaibenjamin5874 or maybe they would bin them at the hardware level. Like some older consumer vs pro GPUs a decade ago where a consumer one could be made a pro workstation one by either plugging a tiny jumper at some pins or bridging two solder points of the logic board with a specific resistance electronic component.
When the store opened for ordering, I noticed the 24 core model, that was simply the best choice for me. Agonized over 2TB or 64GB of RAM, by the time I decided, the ship date had slipped into December, so I stuck with the 1TB, 32GB model. So far, it has proven to be a great choice. The M1 Air I had, beat my TR machine, this 24 core beast has me stripping out my drives and repurposing them for use in an external enclosure. Love watching your videos, thanks for the shout out.
I would be really interested to see the difference in the 16" models, and 14" vs 16" 24-core. There be a larger gap in performance on the 16", but who knows...
I have been using my 16" M1 Max 24 Core with 32GB Ram for a few weeks now. I went with the 24 cores to balance performance with my budget, plus the M1 Max comes with all those extra encoders for video. It's a no-brainer if you're already after 32GB of RAM. Battery has been excellent, fans have only come on once or twice, super impressed with this machine.
Have you been using any demanding creative software, like After Effects, by chance? I wonder less about rendering, and more about real-time previewing capability for the 32 vs. 24 core
@@willplez how many hours per day are you getting for battery life? Does it last you through the day if you’re just browsing and watching videos/typing documents?
I ordered the 14” with the 24 core, 32GB RAM, and a 2 TB SSD and got it on week 2 of the release calendar. I have been VERY pleased with it on all areas. Battery life has been great and the performance has been totally awesome!
I really do believe the best value for performance is with the 16” 24 Core. The 14” is not made for the Max chip without compromise. For $200 more you’re getting a lot for your money.
So this begs the question. Since the 14" 32 GPU is clearly thermal throttling, would the 14" 24 GPU also thermal throttle and would the 24 GPU in a 16" outperform the 24 GPU in the 14"?
@@apexcapital1328 Maybe it is not the thermal envelope but what sustained current the batteries can provide? My 32C 14" Max never hits excessive temps under full load and it appears it still has headroom. This would jive with the fact that it is limited from the factory and not when it gets hot.
I went with the 14" 24-Core model and it should be arriving in about a week. The main reason I chose it over 32-Core despite it only being a $200 upgrade is mainly battery life and also the fact that Apple intentionally slows down the performance on the 14" model due to size and power efficiency. Overall, I think you covered it pretty well, the 24-Core is right in that sweet spot where you get optimal performance along with battery life. Looking forward to your review when you receive yours :)
I have been using the M1 Pro 16 core 32GB RAM 1TB SSD and getting overall smooth performance even in Parallels. I don't see 24 core or 32 core bringing out drastic performance boost in Parallels which is why I went with more RAM than GPU. Parallels is using all RAM available to game with since Windows is a memory hog. However, without running Parallels, I only seem to get around 6-8 hours of battery life with very little usage.
@@CadetClueless The main reason to get M1 Max chip over the Pro is the 2x better memory bandwidth. Realistically you won't really see the difference unless its heavy workload, but yeah...
Summary: If you want a 14-inch MBP you are better off buying a 24 core M1 Max than a 32 core M1 Max, Apple has put somekind of software cap in the 32 core model.
Pablo the software cap is the frequency being lower but it all comes down to the point that the 14" is a smaller thermal envelope due to its physical size and cooling capability compared to the much larger 16".
I feel like Apple should have the 24-core GPU M1 Max available as the only M1 Max option for the 14" model, since the 32-core one doesn't perform very well in that smaller form factor.
Yes thats true, but they've been doing upgrades like this for a while like for example going from i5 to i7 in a 13" MacBook Pro for $200 and the difference is 3% at best..
The 24 core one is a steal. I have received mine. Not only Apple has a good yield rate, but more people order them because they think it’s a sweet spot.
I definitely think that the 24 core is the optimal choice for the people who need the most performance in a 14-inch size, while the 32 core is best suited for the 16-inch model. Mine is hopefully supposed to arrive in a week, I'm hoping you get yours soon!
I ordered my 24 core 14 inch a few days after launch and received it earlier than anticipated (original date was around thanksgiving but I got it Nov 11). I get a full day of battery working from home and it's an amazing upgrade from the early 2015 that I have which could barely handle video calls and chrome tabs simultaneously. It also charges so quickly.
I bought the 14" with 24-core GPU. I can confirm that it runs at the full 1296MHz during GFXBench (I monitored with powermetrics command). I wanted the full 48MB system cache, so I needed the Max chip, but I don't expect to depend on the GPU (I'm mostly producing music and I'm a software developer). It's interesting: the 24-core version is achieved by disabling two GPU cores from each of the four 8-core clusters instead of disabling one entire 8-core cluster. Luckily, I ordered my machine a couple days after the event so mine arrived November 29, only three days late. But it spent a long time in a customs hold in Tennessee.
Got mine nearly a month ago - it replaces my 13" M1 - I thought long and hard over the specs and decided on exactly the same configuration as above. Very happy with the choice - it has really sped up the Affinity suite, particularly when working with very complex postscript patterns. I also think that this particular model might also maintain a better than average re-sale point in 3 years time!
I think the 24 Core will be better served in a 16" housing. Personally though, as a music Producer I'd prefer to go with the 16" Standard M1 Pro with 2TB of SSD, that's kind of the sweet spot for my work flow.
I bought the 16" 32 core with 64GB ram. Partly because I needed the tax write-off. Partly because I always try to get close to the best machine I can get because I only upgrade every 6-8yrs. Maybe I overpaid for extra cores and ram I'll never use. Maybe it will future-proof it. Time will tell. Also, the place I bought it from it was the same exact price for the 24 core vs the 32 core so I figured why not? It has been a huge upgrade over my i7 iMac and maybe battery life could be better on the 24 fore but it's still amazing on my 32 core and unless I owned both, I'd never miss or notice the difference. These M1 max machines are incredible!
I ordered my 24 core, 32gb, 4TB 14" on Nov. 8th. It said it would arrive by Dec. 24th. It randomly jumped up to Dec. 9th two weeks ago, and then it shipped Nov. 23rd! It was delayed in Nashville for like 5 days and I just got it on the 30th. I must have been really lucky. I love this thing so far!
When I saw the plethora of options for M1 Macbook Pro processors I did the analysis and came to the same conclusion you did. 24 core all the way. I don't do much video editing so the extra encoders don't really matter to me. I did already decide I wanted 32 GB or RAM for future proofing. That made the extra $200 an easy sell for me. I made my decision a day after launch (so I didn't have any benchmarks to go by) I chose the 24 core primarily for three reasons: 1. understanding (in general) how GPU cores add to everyday performance (or don't) 2. double the memory bandwidth (probably designed to keep 32 GPU cores saturated but even more helpful with just 24 cores) 3. The ability to use 4 external monitors My 24 core Macbook Pro came from China on 11/23 as they originally estimated. I've been using it every day since and I love it! Especially the ability to extend my desktop to 2 (or more) 4k displays. I don't have any more monitors than that but it's nice to know I can add them if I get them in the future. I use my macbook pro mostly for coding. I have done some early machine learning coding. I only expect to do more of that in the future. I know other processors can be programmed to use GPU cores to do some Machine Learning calculations but, since the M1Max has a neural engine, I'm not sure if I will find an IDE that will allow me to do that. I've never been a heavy gamer but since I heard how gaming-capable the M1 Max is I thought I'd try it out. I've started playing Eve online and I'm getting 60 fps with nominal settings. I did notice the fan come on after a few minutes playing eve. I found that surprising after seeing so many performance tests on RUclips where the fan never turns on.
I ordered the 24-Core 14-inch about 5 minutes after it went live, and it does seem to really be a sweet spot. $200 is pretty much a no-brainer if you are already at the full Pro and 32 Gigs. I love mine, hope you get yours soon.
Ran a full spec 32core 16" 64GB for a week for finance use (with 3 4K external screens) - returned it as thought a 24core would give me the power I needed and save on battery life. In the mean time trying a mid spec 14" m1 Pro with 16GB - works well 95% of the time, however, doesn't work for my workflow b/c only 2 external screens and I find the 14" screen too small when working remotely - 14" does get hotter, and battery not substantially better (~1-1.5hr / 10%), and does have slower external monitor switch on / or sometimes doesn't switch on the secondary external. Can't wait to go back to 16" and also the max configuration which seems to work much better with external screens.
I traded my 16” i9 MBP (which I never loved, due to getting so hot and noisy fans) for a 14” 24 core and I’m very happy, When I was going through the specs before ordering, this seemed to be a sweet-spot for cost/performance (mine has 32GB and 2TB) which was what I was aiming for. I was also done with the huge size and weight of a 16” MacBook so I was pleased there is now a 14” option. Oh, it arrived about 2 weeks earlier than the original date too.
After you showed the throttling happening on the 32-core 14” one I right away arrived to the conclusion that if I were to buy one I would go 14” 24-core one 32GB 2TB. For a laptop I kinda like the more portable aspect of them.
I got the 32 core 14”, and to me - while it is good to have these numbers - I also don’t regret my purchase. I was already going to get the M1 Max because I need 3 external monitors. And the 32 core is only $200. Even if the performance increase isn’t as much on the 14”, I’ll take the portability. And $200 is nothing over 4-5 years of use.
I am confused a little, what I got from this is that if your going to get a 14 inch, the 32 core doesn't scale as well on performance increase from the 24 core, so you might as well get the 24 core. If your getting the 16 inch, get the 32 core...
I got one! Ordered Oct 19, delivered Nov 12. I guess I got lucky. Eventually I'll love it, but right now I'm frustrated by unsupported software and hardware. And I forgot to preorder USB-A>>USB-C adapters. 16-inch MacBook Pro - Silver Apple M1 Max with 10-core CPU, 24-core GPU, 16-core Neural Engine 32GB unified memory 2TB SSD storage
Chip yields on the 32 core Max chips must be high. The main point of the 24 core Max, is that they are binned chips; they don't take perfectly good 32 core chips and then disable 8 cores so they can sell them at a $200 discount. Seems a bit odd, considering the double binning of the Pro chips. Maybe the single bin Pro options (full CPU cores, disabled GPU cores) are similarly backordered. Test data does seem to indicate that the 24 core Max is the price/performance sweet spot for the 14" model.
@@OmarDaily how important is battery life in relation to GPU performance? I gambled on the 24-core being a blend between the two. But M1 Pro is great on battery.
I got my 14” 24-core a couple weeks ago and I couldn’t be happier! I was a little worried about the performance/Battery life balance as there wasn’t a lot of info about this configuration online, but I’m glad I went with my gut!
I was totally relying on Max Tech to test the 24core 14”!!! I caved in and ordered it awhile ago since I wanted 32Gb ram. Your video on 32 core 14” slower gpu clock speed convinced me to go for the 24 core. I was a bit nervous when I saw glitches on a RUclipsr’s (Luke?) Tomb Raider test with the 24core…
I have a M1 Pro 2020 and I’m very happy with it. The only problem is the RAM, for which if I were to buy a new one, it would be for the extra that the new ones have.
I ordered the 14” 24 core just as soon as the online store opened, it just seemed like the best value to me, and your review now reveals that it is in the sweet spot for performance/battery life…I got lucky.
I ordered the 14-inch 24 core GPU M1 Max nearly as soon as it was available for purchase (30 mins after the store relaunched max). It was scheduled for delivery between Nov 8-12. On October 18th I received an email informing me the machine had shipped and it would arrive on Nov 9, which it did. Upgrading to the 24 core GPU was the only upgrade I made however. It is very surprising to me that a machine ordered all they way back in October still hasn't shipped!
Thanks for the video Max! This just confirmed my decision to go for the 16-inch with 24-core GPU. For weeks I couldn't decide between the 16-core and 24-core. I was trying to find more videos on RUclips about the 24-core version, but I couldn't find a detailed video comparing the two (16-core and 24-core) both in 16-inch configuration.
Wow. I'm so happy with my purchase now. I was so confused which configuration to get. I figured this was the sweet spot for power vs price, so took the plunge. I had to wait forever for it to arrive but have had it for a few days now and it's brilliant. I got the 16" M1 Max with 32gb RAM 24 core gpu and 2tb drive. It's beautiful. Wondered if I'd overcooked it for my needs but I'm really happy with my choice. This just reassured me even more. Thanks guys. 🙏🏼👊🏼
I can’t comment on the M1 Max, but I’ve had my 10/16 CPU/GPU M1 Pro 14” for a while now and I’m absolutely loving it. Came from a 2020 13” Core i7 and the battery life is incredible. I can do 4-5hrs of software development and only drop to about 75-80% battery, all this whilst performing brilliantly. Also, I haven’t heard a fan once, whereas I’d have about 5-10 Concorde moments per day on my old Intel one. Screen is lovely. If you’re unsure and can afford one, get one!
I was going off my gut when I pre-ordered the 14-inch/24-core/32GB/2TB option around the end of the first week of the keynote (which, I know "the gut" is not something I should rely on when making purchasing decisions like this), but the more videos and articles I see about the 24-core Max in the 14" chassis, the more vindicated I feel about my choices. I'm actually surprised the performance throttling for the maxed-out 14" isn't causing a bigger stir. I think Apple should really emphasize the fact that consumers who want the absolute maximum performance should only opt for the 16" model. Anyway, my 14" "mid-tier M1 Max happy medium" unit arrived early last week and I've been doing so much more with my Mac in this short time than I was ever able to do with my 2019 MacBook Air (I mean, no kidding, right?).
The "gut" is a surprisingly accurate judge. It accesses your subconcious mind, which can pick up and process a lot of subtle info that our conscious mind can't. Thus your gut feeling was quite likely correct that this is the machine that suits all your needs. Not related to tech decisions, but the subconscious mind also picks up very subtle body language queues, and things like chemical/pheremone smells, that our conscious mind misses, thus why we can have gut feelings about people that we can't quite make logical sense of. However, your conscious mind can polute and ruin the decisions of the subconscious if it has a particular overriding motive that isn't quite real, such as being based on a false belief, so you have to be careful of that.
I am glad I chose the M1 Max 24-core 14" which took more than three weeks to arrive after placing the order. It did arrive a couple of days earlier than the estimated delivery date given at time of order.
I ordered my 16” 24-core 1TB the day after announcement and got it 2 weeks ago. It actually arrived before the expected date. Problem is I’ve been so busy with other projects that I’ve only used it to watch a movie. The sound and screen is amazing though. I would let you borrow mine if you lived closer 😆
A week after the 14" & 16" MBPs became available, I ordered the 16" Max with 32GB RAM, 2TB SSD & the 24-core GPU. Delivery date is Tues., Dec 7th. Fingers crossed that this doesn't change. FWIW, I agree that the delays are most likely due to Apple having a lower failure rate with the GPU part of the chip than expected. The limited amount of content regarding the 24-core models may be due to these delays, but also due to the fact that few content creators can afford to purchase all variations of the new MBPs, and perhaps decided to get the upper & lower end models, then just interpolate the results for the 24-core GPU.
I've got my 24core M1 Max - It was delayed multiple times, even as far out as December 7, but it delivered on the 23rd. Awesome machine, but I have had a few issues. Machine freezes randomly, finder just crashes. Mouse clicking is disabled, keyboard input disabled, only thing I can do is move the mouse. Hasn't happened since I reinstalled macOS, so far, but other than that this thing is a BEAST.
I have a 16" 24-core 32gb 1tb M1 Max on the way as well. It just shipped today, so I'm hoping to receive it soon. I can make a video on performance if anyone would like to see. I'm personally wondering if the 24-core 16" also has performance increases relative to the 14" with the same spec.
I got a 16" M1 Max 24 GPU. I ordered it right away and it took a long time to ship. I wonder how it performs battery-wise compared to the other 16" models.
I have a 24-core 16" with 32GB of RAM after first buying the 32-core 14" with 64GB of RAM. The upgrade from the 14" to the 16" was worth it to me considering the larger screen, better sound (which I'm making a detailed video on) and significantly better battery life. I've heard some people saying that there might be a battery life difference going from 64GB to 32GB. I mostly use my machine for Final Cut editing of 4K H.265 video from the Sony A7SIII. I really don't notice much difference in speed one way or the other. I'm happy I went with the 16" personally.
Please purchase a 16 inch with 24 core too. That’ll be very interesting analysis (vs 16 inch and 32 core). Don’t stop chasing the people to subscribe guys, you deserve much more than a millions followers. Keep doing so amazing videos
Total MacOS newbie here but received my Macbook Pro 16 M1 Max two days ago. Jeez, what a machine. Its really amazing. One thing though, you guys clearly know how to use windows and Mac. How about some newbie vids for peeps that move Windows to Mac. Like real day 1 things up to more advanced. Could be a series building us up from noobs to pros like you guys. I think Apple silicone might drive a whole new group of pc users to switch.
I’m not sure if you’ve done it yet or not, but could you do a comparison between a 32gb M1 Pro vs 32gb M1 Max? I’m honestly intrigued at what that difference would be.
I too suspected the 24c Max would be the sweet spot in the 14" line up. That's the one I wanted but wait times were excessive. I ended up getting the 32c Max. Whilst I am extremely happy, I believe I unnecessarily paid a premium both in $$ and battery life.
That noise you hear is the Intel guys sticking pins in the Tim Cook doll. That M1 chip set is a game changer and we await the test results of the 16" with the shared 64 GB screamers soon/eventually to be shipped
I like these results. Unfortunately for me the 24 core Max chip is right outside of my budget of keeping it under 3k. So I got the full Pro with 32GB and 1TB of storage. That and there's something in me that just doesn't trust the 14' chasis with the Max chip. But I hope people who want this config are able to get it.
Don't know where you guys are based but I literally just returned an unopened 14 inch M1 Max 24 core Macbook Pro (32 GB RAM, 1TB SSD) to the Sherman Oaks Westfield Apple store yesterday, and for what its worth I only returned it cause I decided to opt for the 16 inch instead, but I haven't had any delays with shipping. In fact both the 14 and 16 got pushed up and came early for me.
I got my 14” 24c laptop Tuesday. Love it to tiny bits. Works like a charm, and is fast af. I do 360 video editing, and the content aware fill in AE (running through rosetta) destroys my 15” razer blade advanced with a 10th gen i7 and 2080 super. So fast.
@@denisl1071 so far, it’s not that loud at all. I stitched together a 360 clip from a gopro fusion that was just over an hour long. The laptop was under heavy load for over an hour, maybe two, stitching (gopro fusion stitching is dumb and out dated, so don’t take that as a performance benchmark), and the fans were on the whole ti,e amd compared to the jet engines of my razer blade and the previous intel mbp, it was quiet af. I don’t have the equipment to measure the Db’s, though.
Hi, I ordered my 14” 24 core Pro Max with 32gb and 2TB on November 14th from the Apple Education store. It arrived today, December 2 and is migrating from my 2017 15” as I write this. It was supposed to come next Thursday. I hope you get one soon and put it through all your tests for a proper evaluation. With my trade in and the weight savings, the 14” with the 24 core Max was only around $56 more than a similarly spec 16” 16 core M1 Pro with 32gb & 2TB and made much better value.
yes, and probably you're right: Apple and TSCM get a huge yield out of their M1 Max, with too few which should be used as 24 core SOC. So if you want have the benefits, you must order the 32 core and spend the extra money. Possibly, at the start they had planned some quantity of 24 cores, as experience of ramping up the production at Taiwan Semiconductor. And now, they are doing much better, with less flaws. So I'm extremely happy I got this cheap power beast.
Probably shops in many countries bought 24-core version because it's cheaper for people. In Poland I can buy 24-core version with two weeks delay (32gb ram/1tb ssd), but for 32-cores I need to wait for 3-6 weeks.
I would love a real world battery life test between the 24 core 14", 10 core 14 core gpu 14", 10 core 16 core gpu 14", and the 8 core 14". If the 24 core can get 12 hrs of battery life during web browsing some code editing etc, then that would be the skew that I would want to get
Excellent video Max. Your videos have been exactly what many of us need finding out the real world results vs the paper specs. I will need to upgrade my 2013 16" rMBP maxed out but should be able to wait until Spring 2022 when they announce the iMac Pro, M2 MB Air, and Mac Pro and hopefully the high end Mac Mini too.
I got mine in 16 inch on 23rd of November and battery is legit. I actually cancelled many configurations before getting my order in that originally had a date for first week of December
Try Apple's "High Power Mode" Please!!!!!! The m1 Max is running in economy mode in your tests! "High Power Mode" in the M1 Max model switch the fans from balanced-use-mode and allows the fans to spin at a higher speed so the SoC can deliver higher performance.

it might be true that the performance differernces between 24 and 32 cores are not that significant based on current testings and utilities, App developers and production ecosystems are still optimizing and trying to adapt to the new Apple sillicon architecture and development environment. That being said, the extra cores should shine when the developers are more optimized for apple sillicons and this is guarenteeed to happen in the future. If you want your mac to be more sustainable and more competent for long term usage, extra 200 dollars for performance that you cannot increase ( cpu, gpu, ram, you can alwasy connect to external storage) is not an unreasonable investment.

Apple knows that the 32-core in14 inch chassis is headroom constrained....the 24 core has more value
@@jabulaniharvey in terms of 14 inch, yes; in terms of 16 inches especially for future years, i dont think so
Decided I will need to create some content. I have been using my 24-core 14” M1 Max since November 1st. I had been recording video and editing but never as a vlogger. The 24-core is a beast and really is working great.
It would be great to see the battery life between the 16" 24 Core GPU vs the 16" 32 core GPU since that would be best performance for most cases but may help get better battery.
Agree
I still remember they already did test it. The 24 Core has longer battery but less performance.
Yes cant wait for it👍
@@dulistanheman wow crazy 😝
Why the hell do you even need a video for this?
A 24 core will consume less wattage than a 32 with less performance.
Do you really need a 20 minute video to understand this?
If I were to guess, Apple didn’t expect the demand for the 24-core to be so high. That’s probably part of the slow down.
Probably.
I could almost bet they will, somehow make it a less attractive option in the next iterations of the machine :D
I've been running the numbers over and over. The 24 core is the only option that makes sense. 32GB ram is crucial and the 24 core for $200 is literally a must.
Crucial?
@@jasonnowwhat5041 I don't do heavy graphics stuff like most youtube reviewers, but I use between 25 to 30gb of memory most of the time. The 16gb is fine, but your resorting to swap memory which will hurt the lifespan of the ssd. I run 2 thunder bolt monitors and do a lot of software development, and I rarely use any swap memory, but I am constantly going over 16gb of memory. So the 32gb is the sweet spot to me.
@@heyaisdabomb the exact channel that you commented this on disproved that. You'll still have plenty of swap usage on a 32GB. 32GB isn't bad, just a waste of money for most people.
@@heyaisdabomb the unified ram doesn’t work mathematically as you so imagine. Even at 13 gb ram usage, the ram pressure stays in the green area and in the low green. Can’t believe how powerful my mb 14 inch is.
I had a 14” 24 core. I ordered about an hour after launch and got it weeks later. I took it home and tested getting MODDED Skyrim running with crossover. It was not a great experience and couldn’t quickly figure out how to get mods running. After seeing the thermal throttling issues between 14” & 16” I returned it to an Apple store a week and half after receiving and ordered a 16” top pro chip with a larger SSD and 16gb ram. The battery life thing was a big deal and I saved money in the swap. People using that config didn’t notice any slow downs while daily drive the config running creative applications so I’m happily waiting for the new one arriving tomorrow.
I have the 14” a shot and really liked it’s feel for travel which I do often enough plus I mostly dock my laptop anyway. However I’ve never had smaller than a 15” and the thought of long term video editing and illustrator use with all the panels… 14” is just too small. For $200 the 16” just makes way too much sense because battery for travel is also important!
When I set myself a limit of how much I wanted to spend to have some piece and quiet for the next 6-8 years, I pretty much arrived at the 24 Core GPU Model M1 Max automatically. The 2TB SSD was set, the 32 GB RAM as well so I was left with a decision on the GPU. The 24 Core put it just unter 4K in Germany (3899€) and mine actually arrived exactly as excepted. It was scheduled for November 8th (ordered it at launch day) and got to me that very day shipped directly from China via UPS.
Love it so far, video editing multiple 4K camera angles is a breeze without having to use any optimized media whatsoever…!
Haven’t gamed on it yet but will play some Rise Of The Tomb Raider this weekend :-)
Congrats man! Good choice! I'm curious what was the original ship date that showed up if you bought a 32 core instead of the 24 core. Let me know if you remember!
@@MaxTechOfficial the 14“ 24 GPU ones were the first ones to get pushed back if I remember correctly. The 32 Core would have been delivered earlier at least the evening right after the keynote. It airs at 7pm Central European time and I placed my order around 11pm that night. Some models were already pushed pack until early December at that point but if I’m not mistaken the 1TB SSD was worse than the 2TB as the price increase is pretty steep and most people probably rather get external storage…!
The best bang for my buck was the 10/24 32gb 14" with 1tb and I love it.
@@TheHronar yeah that would have been quite a bit cheaper but coming from a completely packed 500GB internal SSD I just couldn’t go there 🙈 I think the 1TB and 2TB are pretty identical in speed though so no downside there…!
@@MaxTechOfficial my 24-core 16 inch was delivered on Nov. 11th and I ordered mine three days after the apple event.
*If there is not enough binned chips to meet demand for the 24 core M1 max, then that means they will have to use fully functional 32 core chips but disable 8 in firmware.*
Looks like Apple might be getting some great yields from their M1 Max. Better than expected!
or just perform free update
If that's the case, I wonder if it will be possible to unbin the functional chips on the user end. Probably not, but interesting to think about.
@@kansaibenjamin5874 or maybe they would bin them at the hardware level. Like some older consumer vs pro GPUs a decade ago where a consumer one could be made a pro workstation one by either plugging a tiny jumper at some pins or bridging two solder points of the logic board with a specific resistance electronic component.
@@kansaibenjamin5874 normally they use lasers to server the electrical connection of the disabled cores so you can't re-enable them
When the store opened for ordering, I noticed the 24 core model, that was simply the best choice for me. Agonized over 2TB or 64GB of RAM, by the time I decided, the ship date had slipped into December, so I stuck with the 1TB, 32GB model. So far, it has proven to be a great choice. The M1 Air I had, beat my TR machine, this 24 core beast has me stripping out my drives and repurposing them for use in an external enclosure. Love watching your videos, thanks for the shout out.
That’s what I got but I got it slightly used a week later on Facebook marketplace for $2000 lol i got so lucky
@@nhibbs3 That's really lucky!
I would be really interested to see the difference in the 16" models, and 14" vs 16" 24-core. There be a larger gap in performance on the 16", but who knows...
I have a 16” 24c with 32gb ram and 1tb storage. What tests should I run
@@nhibbs3 Exactly the spec I’ll like to get. Can you run battery and virtualization tests please?
I have been using my 16" M1 Max 24 Core with 32GB Ram for a few weeks now. I went with the 24 cores to balance performance with my budget, plus the M1 Max comes with all those extra encoders for video. It's a no-brainer if you're already after 32GB of RAM. Battery has been excellent, fans have only come on once or twice, super impressed with this machine.
Have you been using any demanding creative software, like After Effects, by chance? I wonder less about rendering, and more about real-time previewing capability for the 32 vs. 24 core
How’s the battery life treating you mate? I have the same one incoming!
@@kansaibenjamin5874 I’m not much of a graphics guy, so haven’t tried after effects yet but I’ll report back if I do.
@@RyanStephenAlldridge Very good so far. It does vary a lot depending on what you’re doing, but it varies from good to very-good haha.
@@willplez how many hours per day are you getting for battery life? Does it last you through the day if you’re just browsing and watching videos/typing documents?
I ordered the 14” with the 24 core, 32GB RAM, and a 2 TB SSD and got it on week 2 of the release calendar.
I have been VERY pleased with it on all areas. Battery life has been great and the performance has been totally awesome!
What about fun noise and temperature? Thanks!
@@denisl1071 I haven’t experienced high temperatures or fan noise
I really do believe the best value for performance is with the 16” 24 Core. The 14” is not made for the Max chip without compromise. For $200 more you’re getting a lot for your money.
you also have to pay for the 32GB of ram if you want 32 core , so that adds a 500-600 dollars
I went for the 24 core w/ 32 gb of ram and it’s perfect! It handles everything I throw at it especially music production!
So this begs the question. Since the 14" 32 GPU is clearly thermal throttling, would the 14" 24 GPU also thermal throttle and would the 24 GPU in a 16" outperform the 24 GPU in the 14"?
The 24 GPU don't throttle in the 14", but the 16" will still have a slightly better performance.
It’s not thermal throttling, its throttled out of the box, period
It’s more like limited on purpose on the 14” due to its thermal envelope.
@@apexcapital1328 Maybe it is not the thermal envelope but what sustained current the batteries can provide? My 32C 14" Max never hits excessive temps under full load and it appears it still has headroom. This would jive with the fact that it is limited from the factory and not when it gets hot.
I have the exact same questions also.
I went with the 14" 24-Core model and it should be arriving in about a week. The main reason I chose it over 32-Core despite it only being a $200 upgrade is mainly battery life and also the fact that Apple intentionally slows down the performance on the 14" model due to size and power efficiency. Overall, I think you covered it pretty well, the 24-Core is right in that sweet spot where you get optimal performance along with battery life. Looking forward to your review when you receive yours :)
assuming you need the extra performance that the M1 pro doesn’t give you yes
I have been using the M1 Pro 16 core 32GB RAM 1TB SSD and getting overall smooth performance even in Parallels. I don't see 24 core or 32 core bringing out drastic performance boost in Parallels which is why I went with more RAM than GPU. Parallels is using all RAM available to game with since Windows is a memory hog. However, without running Parallels, I only seem to get around 6-8 hours of battery life with very little usage.
@@CadetClueless The main reason to get M1 Max chip over the Pro is the 2x better memory bandwidth. Realistically you won't really see the difference unless its heavy workload, but yeah...
any good/bad experiences with this setup? since you probably got it for 4 months now. battery? any heat? thanks man
Summary: If you want a 14-inch MBP you are better off buying a 24 core M1 Max than a 32 core M1 Max, Apple has put somekind of software cap in the 32 core model.
Pablo the software cap is the frequency being lower but it all comes down to the point that the 14" is a smaller thermal envelope due to its physical size and cooling capability compared to the much larger 16".
I feel like Apple should have the 24-core GPU M1 Max available as the only M1 Max option for the 14" model, since the 32-core one doesn't perform very well in that smaller form factor.
Yes thats true, but they've been doing upgrades like this for a while like for example going from i5 to i7 in a 13" MacBook Pro for $200 and the difference is 3% at best..
The 24 core one is a steal. I have received mine. Not only Apple has a good yield rate, but more people order them because they think it’s a sweet spot.
I definitely think that the 24 core is the optimal choice for the people who need the most performance in a 14-inch size, while the 32 core is best suited for the 16-inch model. Mine is hopefully supposed to arrive in a week, I'm hoping you get yours soon!
I ordered my 24 core 14 inch a few days after launch and received it earlier than anticipated (original date was around thanksgiving but I got it Nov 11). I get a full day of battery working from home and it's an amazing upgrade from the early 2015 that I have which could barely handle video calls and chrome tabs simultaneously. It also charges so quickly.
The 24 Core M1 Max is the best choice for the 14”. Love Mine! 💯👍💪
What about fun noise and temperature? Thanks!
I have the 24 core in the 14 inch. I got it a week after launch day. It’s worked great for me. I can get a full day on battery easy.
I bought the 14" with 24-core GPU. I can confirm that it runs at the full 1296MHz during GFXBench (I monitored with powermetrics command). I wanted the full 48MB system cache, so I needed the Max chip, but I don't expect to depend on the GPU (I'm mostly producing music and I'm a software developer). It's interesting: the 24-core version is achieved by disabling two GPU cores from each of the four 8-core clusters instead of disabling one entire 8-core cluster. Luckily, I ordered my machine a couple days after the event so mine arrived November 29, only three days late. But it spent a long time in a customs hold in Tennessee.
FINALLY!!! Someone is talking about 24-core GPU M1 Max MacBook Pro!
I placed my order for my 14”, Space Gray, 24-core GPU, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD, M1 Max on October 20. It was delivered November 18.
Got mine nearly a month ago - it replaces my 13" M1 - I thought long and hard over the specs and decided on exactly the same configuration as above. Very happy with the choice - it has really sped up the Affinity suite, particularly when working with very complex postscript patterns. I also think that this particular model might also maintain a better than average re-sale point in 3 years time!
I think the 24 Core will be better served in a 16" housing.
Personally though, as a music Producer I'd prefer to go with the 16" Standard M1 Pro with 2TB of SSD, that's kind of the sweet spot for my work flow.
Just be sure to max the RAM to 32!
@@mdjperez09 Ram is not the limiting factor on logic
@@keirrasmussen I agree, I found the most limiting factor was the drive speed
I bought the 16" 32 core with 64GB ram. Partly because I needed the tax write-off. Partly because I always try to get close to the best machine I can get because I only upgrade every 6-8yrs. Maybe I overpaid for extra cores and ram I'll never use. Maybe it will future-proof it. Time will tell. Also, the place I bought it from it was the same exact price for the 24 core vs the 32 core so I figured why not? It has been a huge upgrade over my i7 iMac and maybe battery life could be better on the 24 fore but it's still amazing on my 32 core and unless I owned both, I'd never miss or notice the difference. These M1 max machines are incredible!
I ordered my 24 core, 32gb, 4TB 14" on Nov. 8th. It said it would arrive by Dec. 24th. It randomly jumped up to Dec. 9th two weeks ago, and then it shipped Nov. 23rd! It was delayed in Nashville for like 5 days and I just got it on the 30th. I must have been really lucky. I love this thing so far!
Great choice!!!
When I saw the plethora of options for M1 Macbook Pro processors I did the analysis and came to the same conclusion you did. 24 core all the way. I don't do much video editing so the extra encoders don't really matter to me. I did already decide I wanted 32 GB or RAM for future proofing. That made the extra $200 an easy sell for me. I made my decision a day after launch (so I didn't have any benchmarks to go by) I chose the 24 core primarily for three reasons:
1. understanding (in general) how GPU cores add to everyday performance (or don't)
2. double the memory bandwidth (probably designed to keep 32 GPU cores saturated but even more helpful with just 24 cores)
3. The ability to use 4 external monitors
My 24 core Macbook Pro came from China on 11/23 as they originally estimated. I've been using it every day since and I love it! Especially the ability to extend my desktop to 2 (or more) 4k displays. I don't have any more monitors than that but it's nice to know I can add them if I get them in the future.
I use my macbook pro mostly for coding. I have done some early machine learning coding. I only expect to do more of that in the future. I know other processors can be programmed to use GPU cores to do some Machine Learning calculations but, since the M1Max has a neural engine, I'm not sure if I will find an IDE that will allow me to do that. I've never been a heavy gamer but since I heard how gaming-capable the M1 Max is I thought I'd try it out. I've started playing Eve online and I'm getting 60 fps with nominal settings.
I did notice the fan come on after a few minutes playing eve. I found that surprising after seeing so many performance tests on RUclips where the fan never turns on.
14-inch or 16-inch?
Well I received 16" M1 max 24-core model yesterday. I am happy to do any test.
I ordered the 24-Core 14-inch about 5 minutes after it went live, and it does seem to really be a sweet spot. $200 is pretty much a no-brainer if you are already at the full Pro and 32 Gigs. I love mine, hope you get yours soon.
Ran a full spec 32core 16" 64GB for a week for finance use (with 3 4K external screens) - returned it as thought a 24core would give me the power I needed and save on battery life. In the mean time trying a mid spec 14" m1 Pro with 16GB - works well 95% of the time, however, doesn't work for my workflow b/c only 2 external screens and I find the 14" screen too small when working remotely - 14" does get hotter, and battery not substantially better (~1-1.5hr / 10%), and does have slower external monitor switch on / or sometimes doesn't switch on the secondary external. Can't wait to go back to 16" and also the max configuration which seems to work much better with external screens.
I traded my 16” i9 MBP (which I never loved, due to getting so hot and noisy fans) for a 14” 24 core and I’m very happy,
When I was going through the specs before ordering, this seemed to be a sweet-spot for cost/performance (mine has 32GB and 2TB) which was what I was aiming for. I was also done with the huge size and weight of a 16” MacBook so I was pleased there is now a 14” option.
Oh, it arrived about 2 weeks earlier than the original date too.
After you showed the throttling happening on the 32-core 14” one I right away arrived to the conclusion that if I were to buy one I would go 14” 24-core one 32GB 2TB. For a laptop I kinda like the more portable aspect of them.
I got the 32 core 14”, and to me - while it is good to have these numbers - I also don’t regret my purchase.
I was already going to get the M1 Max because I need 3 external monitors. And the 32 core is only $200.
Even if the performance increase isn’t as much on the 14”, I’ll take the portability. And $200 is nothing over 4-5 years of use.
I am confused a little, what I got from this is that if your going to get a 14 inch, the 32 core doesn't scale as well on performance increase from the 24 core, so you might as well get the 24 core. If your getting the 16 inch, get the 32 core...
I got one! Ordered Oct 19, delivered Nov 12. I guess I got lucky. Eventually I'll love it, but right now I'm frustrated by unsupported software and hardware. And I forgot to preorder USB-A>>USB-C adapters.
16-inch MacBook Pro - Silver
Apple M1 Max with 10-core CPU, 24-core GPU, 16-core Neural Engine

2TB SSD storage
Orders my 14” 24-core on Oct 29th and it arrived on the 29th of Nov.
32GB Ram / 1TB SSD
Chip yields on the 32 core Max chips must be high. The main point of the 24 core Max, is that they are binned chips; they don't take perfectly good 32 core chips and then disable 8 cores so they can sell them at a $200 discount.
Seems a bit odd, considering the double binning of the Pro chips. Maybe the single bin Pro options (full CPU cores, disabled GPU cores) are similarly backordered.
Test data does seem to indicate that the 24 core Max is the price/performance sweet spot for the 14" model.
2:54 👊 Thanks for the comparison, it has been the least reviewed version but the most desirable for me.
So the tldr is if you're on the 14in chassis the 24-core makes more sense than the 32-core

@@OmarDaily how important is battery life in relation to GPU performance? I gambled on the 24-core being a blend between the two. But M1 Pro is great on battery.
I got my 14” 24-core a couple weeks ago and I couldn’t be happier! I was a little worried about the performance/Battery life balance as there wasn’t a lot of info about this configuration online, but I’m glad I went with my gut!
Does the battery hold up OK for you then?
For how little video I work with, didn't need 32 core or 24 but doubling the bandwidth made sense so I ordered the 24.. Came within a week too!
My 16 inch 24 core with 2 TB came in yesterday, and your title gave me a heart attack. Glad I watched the rest LoL.
Ditto! The story should have been called "The 32 core 14" has a big problem!!.... and I still don't have my 24 core to test!"
I was totally relying on Max Tech to test the 24core 14”!!! I caved in and ordered it awhile ago since I wanted 32Gb ram. Your video on 32 core 14” slower gpu clock speed convinced me to go for the 24 core. I was a bit nervous when I saw glitches on a RUclipsr’s (Luke?) Tomb Raider test with the 24core…
I ordered the 14", 24 core about 15 days ago. It's coming in today according to the email alert.
Very interested to see how the 16 inch 24 core stacks up against the 32 core 14 inch
Absolutely
I got my 24 core 16 inch last week of October. Love the machine, super quiet, charges fast and amazing performance.
I ordered my MBP 14‘, 10 Core CPU, 24 Core GPU, 32GB RAM and a 2TB SSD on October 18th and it was delivered on October 29th.
Maybe they sent mine to you lol.
I have a M1 Pro 2020 and I’m very happy with it. The only problem is the RAM, for which if I were to buy a new one, it would be for the extra that the new ones have.
I got my macbook pro 14in m1 max 24core with 32gb ram in the mail on Tuesday. It's been great so far
So I'm guessing these results would still apply to the 16 inch 24-core?
I ordered the 14” 24 core just as soon as the online store opened, it just seemed like the best value to me, and your review now reveals that it is in the sweet spot for performance/battery life…I got lucky.
Literally just ordered this exact spec yesterday. Hope to get it sooner than later but won’t hold my breath
I got the 14" 24GPU core and it's the sweet spot. So far the speed boost for programming and training ML models is well worth it.
I ordered the 14-inch 24 core GPU M1 Max nearly as soon as it was available for purchase (30 mins after the store relaunched max). It was scheduled for delivery between Nov 8-12. On October 18th I received an email informing me the machine had shipped and it would arrive on Nov 9, which it did. Upgrading to the 24 core GPU was the only upgrade I made however. It is very surprising to me that a machine ordered all they way back in October still hasn't shipped!
Thanks for the video Max! This just confirmed my decision to go for the 16-inch with 24-core GPU. For weeks I couldn't decide between the 16-core and 24-core. I was trying to find more videos on RUclips about the 24-core version, but I couldn't find a detailed video comparing the two (16-core and 24-core) both in 16-inch configuration.
You were in the same position I am. How do you like it so far?
Wow. I'm so happy with my purchase now. I was so confused which configuration to get. I figured this was the sweet spot for power vs price, so took the plunge. I had to wait forever for it to arrive but have had it for a few days now and it's brilliant. I got the 16" M1 Max with 32gb RAM 24 core gpu and 2tb drive. It's beautiful. Wondered if I'd overcooked it for my needs but I'm really happy with my choice. This just reassured me even more. Thanks guys. 🙏🏼👊🏼
i will get the exact same config :-D can't wait. two more weeks.
I considered the 24-core, but if you're spending $2,899 for a 24-core MBP, $200 seems like a pretty tiny price to pay for literally 8 more GPU cores.
This is so informative!!! I’m also still waiting on my 14 inch 24GPU to come, really glad that I’ve made a good choice.
I can’t comment on the M1 Max, but I’ve had my 10/16 CPU/GPU M1 Pro 14” for a while now and I’m absolutely loving it. Came from a 2020 13” Core i7 and the battery life is incredible. I can do 4-5hrs of software development and only drop to about 75-80% battery, all this whilst performing brilliantly. Also, I haven’t heard a fan once, whereas I’d have about 5-10 Concorde moments per day on my old Intel one. Screen is lovely. If you’re unsure and can afford one, get one!
I was going off my gut when I pre-ordered the 14-inch/24-core/32GB/2TB option around the end of the first week of the keynote (which, I know "the gut" is not something I should rely on when making purchasing decisions like this), but the more videos and articles I see about the 24-core Max in the 14" chassis, the more vindicated I feel about my choices. I'm actually surprised the performance throttling for the maxed-out 14" isn't causing a bigger stir. I think Apple should really emphasize the fact that consumers who want the absolute maximum performance should only opt for the 16" model.
Anyway, my 14" "mid-tier M1 Max happy medium" unit arrived early last week and I've been doing so much more with my Mac in this short time than I was ever able to do with my 2019 MacBook Air (I mean, no kidding, right?).
The "gut" is a surprisingly accurate judge. It accesses your subconcious mind, which can pick up and process a lot of subtle info that our conscious mind can't. Thus your gut feeling was quite likely correct that this is the machine that suits all your needs.
Not related to tech decisions, but the subconscious mind also picks up very subtle body language queues, and things like chemical/pheremone smells, that our conscious mind misses, thus why we can have gut feelings about people that we can't quite make logical sense of.
However, your conscious mind can polute and ruin the decisions of the subconscious if it has a particular overriding motive that isn't quite real, such as being based on a false belief, so you have to be careful of that.
I am glad I chose the M1 Max 24-core 14" which took more than three weeks to arrive after placing the order. It did arrive a couple of days earlier than the estimated delivery date given at time of order.
I ordered my 16” 24-core 1TB the day after announcement and got it 2 weeks ago. It actually arrived before the expected date. Problem is I’ve been so busy with other projects that I’ve only used it to watch a movie. The sound and screen is amazing though. I would let you borrow mine if you lived closer 😆
A week after the 14" & 16" MBPs became available, I ordered the 16" Max with 32GB RAM, 2TB SSD & the 24-core GPU. Delivery date is Tues., Dec 7th. Fingers crossed that this doesn't change. FWIW, I agree that the delays are most likely due to Apple having a lower failure rate with the GPU part of the chip than expected. The limited amount of content regarding the 24-core models may be due to these delays, but also due to the fact that few content creators can afford to purchase all variations of the new MBPs, and perhaps decided to get the upper & lower end models, then just interpolate the results for the 24-core GPU.
I've got my 24core M1 Max - It was delayed multiple times, even as far out as December 7, but it delivered on the 23rd. Awesome machine, but I have had a few issues. Machine freezes randomly, finder just crashes. Mouse clicking is disabled, keyboard input disabled, only thing I can do is move the mouse. Hasn't happened since I reinstalled macOS, so far, but other than that this thing is a BEAST.
I prefer 24 gpu 14 inches perfect balance between weight price battery and performance
I got my 16” M1 Max 24 core 32GB 2TB on Nov 11 - couldn’t be happier with it.
I have a 16" 24-core 32gb 1tb M1 Max on the way as well. It just shipped today, so I'm hoping to receive it soon. I can make a video on performance if anyone would like to see. I'm personally wondering if the 24-core 16" also has performance increases relative to the 14" with the same spec.
senin testini bekliyor olacağım .
I got a 16" M1 Max 24 GPU. I ordered it right away and it took a long time to ship. I wonder how it performs battery-wise compared to the other 16" models.
I ordered this exactly configuration and it is set to arrive in a few days. I should mention I’m in Portugal and I ordered it on November 11th.
I have a 24-core 16" with 32GB of RAM after first buying the 32-core 14" with 64GB of RAM. The upgrade from the 14" to the 16" was worth it to me considering the larger screen, better sound (which I'm making a detailed video on) and significantly better battery life. I've heard some people saying that there might be a battery life difference going from 64GB to 32GB. I mostly use my machine for Final Cut editing of 4K H.265 video from the Sony A7SIII. I really don't notice much difference in speed one way or the other. I'm happy I went with the 16" personally.
Max, here's the comparison of the speakers if you're interested. ruclips.net/video/9JPXim1cUi4/видео.html
Please purchase a 16 inch with 24 core too. That’ll be very interesting analysis (vs 16 inch and 32 core). Don’t stop chasing the people to subscribe guys, you deserve much more than a millions followers. Keep doing so amazing videos
My friend at Apple gave me a 15% discount so I went with the 16” M1max 32gb ram 32gpu 1TB. A machine to keep for the next 8 years
Max, how about MacBook Pro 16 M1 Max 24GPU? Did you have test it also?
Total MacOS newbie here but received my Macbook Pro 16 M1 Max two days ago. Jeez, what a machine. Its really amazing. One thing though, you guys clearly know how to use windows and Mac. How about some newbie vids for peeps that move Windows to Mac. Like real day 1 things up to more advanced. Could be a series building us up from noobs to pros like you guys. I think Apple silicone might drive a whole new group of pc users to switch.
I’m not sure if you’ve done it yet or not, but could you do a comparison between a 32gb M1 Pro vs 32gb M1 Max? I’m honestly intrigued at what that difference would be.
I too suspected the 24c Max would be the sweet spot in the 14" line up. That's the one I wanted but wait times were excessive. I ended up getting the 32c Max. Whilst I am extremely happy, I believe I unnecessarily paid a premium both in $$ and battery life.
That noise you hear is the Intel guys sticking pins in the Tim Cook doll. That M1 chip set is a game changer and we await the test results of the 16" with the shared 64 GB screamers soon/eventually to be shipped
I like these results. Unfortunately for me the 24 core Max chip is right outside of my budget of keeping it under 3k. So I got the full Pro with 32GB and 1TB of storage. That and there's something in me that just doesn't trust the 14' chasis with the Max chip. But I hope people who want this config are able to get it.
Don't know where you guys are based but I literally just returned an unopened 14 inch M1 Max 24 core Macbook Pro (32 GB RAM, 1TB SSD) to the Sherman Oaks Westfield Apple store yesterday, and for what its worth I only returned it cause I decided to opt for the 16 inch instead, but I haven't had any delays with shipping. In fact both the 14 and 16 got pushed up and came early for me.
I was thirsting to learn more about this - and I'm glad you are talking about why it was missing from your channel.
I got my 14” 24c laptop Tuesday. Love it to tiny bits. Works like a charm, and is fast af. I do 360 video editing, and the content aware fill in AE (running through rosetta) destroys my 15” razer blade advanced with a 10th gen i7 and 2080 super. So fast.
What about fan noise? Thanks
@@denisl1071 so far, it’s not that loud at all. I stitched together a 360 clip from a gopro fusion that was just over an hour long. The laptop was under heavy load for over an hour, maybe two, stitching (gopro fusion stitching is dumb and out dated, so don’t take that as a performance benchmark), and the fans were on the whole ti,e amd compared to the jet engines of my razer blade and the previous intel mbp, it was quiet af. I don’t have the equipment to measure the Db’s, though.
Hi,
I ordered my 14” 24 core Pro Max with 32gb and 2TB on November 14th from the Apple Education store. It arrived today, December 2 and is migrating from my 2017 15” as I write this. It was supposed to come next Thursday. I hope you get one soon and put it through all your tests for a proper evaluation. With my trade in and the weight savings, the 14” with the 24 core Max was only around $56 more than a similarly spec 16” 16 core M1 Pro with 32gb & 2TB and made much better value.
Interesting you don’t have yours. My 14” 24c arrived 11/15 and I ordered it AFTER I watched your “bend chip” video suggesting this configuration. 🤔
It’s good to know the 24 core is probably the sweet spot for the 14” model.
yes, and probably you're right: Apple and TSCM get a huge yield out of their M1 Max, with too few which should be used as 24 core SOC. So if you want have the benefits, you must order the 32 core and spend the extra money. Possibly, at the start they had planned some quantity of 24 cores, as experience of ramping up the production at Taiwan Semiconductor. And now, they are doing much better, with less flaws. So I'm extremely happy I got this cheap power beast.
Probably shops in many countries bought 24-core version because it's cheaper for people. In Poland I can buy 24-core version with two weeks delay (32gb ram/1tb ssd), but for 32-cores I need to wait for 3-6 weeks.
You have to make one video after you get this 24 core!
I would love a real world battery life test between the 24 core 14", 10 core 14 core gpu 14", 10 core 16 core gpu 14", and the 8 core 14". If the 24 core can get 12 hrs of battery life during web browsing some code editing etc, then that would be the skew that I would want to get
Excellent video Max. Your videos have been exactly what many of us need finding out the real world results vs the paper specs. I will need to upgrade my 2013 16" rMBP maxed out but should be able to wait until Spring 2022 when they announce the iMac Pro, M2 MB Air, and Mac Pro and hopefully the high end Mac Mini too.
lol my 24c m1 max actually came earlier than scheduled
I got mine in 16 inch on 23rd of November and battery is legit. I actually cancelled many configurations before getting my order in that originally had a date for first week of December
Definitely need more videos on the 24core model!
I’m on the 32 core 14. Yeah battery does feel a drain even working with non intensive stuff.
My 14" 24-Core with 4TB just arrived two days ago...a month after I ordered it. You can come play with it if you come to Colorado :)
Try Apple's "High Power Mode" Please!!!!!! The m1 Max is running in economy mode in your tests!
"High Power Mode" in the M1 Max model switch the fans from balanced-use-mode and allows the fans to spin at a higher speed so the SoC can deliver higher performance.
It got pushed back so much because they wait to get faulty chips before they "dumb" them down the 24gb.
