We see the biggest difference in performance in a Final Cut Pro export test. In LightRoom Classic, where they export a 42MP RAW photo we also see a slight difference: the 8GB model takes 3 minutes to complete and the 15GB model takes 2 minutes and 43 seconds. The 8GB machine completes the test in 136 seconds versus 122 for the 16GB model. Where we are already beginning to see differences is in the Xcode compilation test. The result of both tests is, again, practically identical. A temperature that is more than remarkably low if we compare it with what a computer with an Intel processor would reach during the same process. Running Cinebench, even if the comparison that the video is doing is slightly different, it is mentioned that both machines are at about 60º Celsius in temperature. In export with Final Cut Pro, the results are also extremely similar.

In this test, although the Mac model with 8GB of RAM uses it all while the model with 16 leaves slightly more than 6GB free during the process, the test result is identical. In the video we can see how the two machines perform a series of tests, starting with Geekbench. Better more RAM? It depends on what we want to do with our Mac At Max Tech they compare this last variable and they evaluate the performance of two 13-inch MacBook Pros with the M1, one with 8GB of RAM and the other with 16GB. This leaves us with two variables with which to configure our computer, the amount of storage and the amount of RAM. This is the performance comparison between the 8 and 16GB RAM model of the MacBook Pro with Apple SiliconĪll the Macs that Apple has introduced of the new generation of computers with Apple Silicon use the same chip: the M1.
