Introducing the new MacBook Pro laptops at the Apple Unleashed event held on October 18, Apple announced that it has also updated its processors with these new models. M1 Max, the top model of the new processors introduced with different variants such as M1 Pro and M1 Max, is included in the company’s flagship MacBook Pro 16″ model. Apple’s claim is that the MacBook Pro 16″ model with M1 Max is the most powerful laptop. it’s also assertive about the graphics power potential of the M1 Max. So, MacBook Pro 16″ with M1 Max or Sony PlayStation 5?
Yes, obviously that’s not quite a fair comparison, considering that one is a game console and the other is a laptop. However, the performance dimension of the job is not without wonder. At least someone named Vadim Yuryev was curious about this issue and carried out some tests.
The moment you realize that the M1 Max chip’s 400GBs of memory bandwidth is almost as fast as the PlayStation 5’s 448GBs. So we’re basically getting a PS5 in a laptop. Bastard. twitter. com/2DxtIN0nwo

Yuryev, who shared the test results on his twitter account, focused on memory, graphics and SSD speeds in these comparison tests. According to the test results, PlayStation 5 surpasses the M1 Pro in memory bandwidth. MacBook Pro 16″ with M1 Max achieves 400GB/s bandwith, while PlayStation 5’s score is 448GB/s.
As a result of Raw GPU performance, the 2 devices are very close to each other. While the M1 Max produced 10.4 tflops performance, the PS5 achieved 10.3 tflops results. But it is possible to say that the M1 Max has made a difference in SSD. Because the results are in favor of the 7. 4GB/s vs. 5. 5GB/s M1 Max.
