The big question is: Which is faster? Take your bet!

Otherwise, we can not see any other logical explanation for that, as the M1 architecture is supposed to allow more memory and storage. Why is that? We can assume that the reason for these differences is due to a business decision made by Apple, to prevent product cannibalization of the Intel-inside Macs. Furthermore, the Intel version allows the privilege of 4TB storage, compared to the M1 which offers a maximum storage capacity of 2TB. However, the Intel version allows much more memory, 32GB compared to only 16GM maximum in the M1 version. InterpretationĪ fully specced MacBook Pro (13-inch) with Apple’s chip M1 is far cheaper (36% reduction in price) than its 10th-generation Intel Core i7 version. Maximum price.Įxplore the slide below which summarizes the comparison: MacBook Pro (13‑inch) Price Comparison: M1 vs. Price: $2,300 Apple M1 chip with 8-core CPU and 8-core GPU. Apple M1 chip with 8-core CPU and 8-core GPU.Here’s Apple’s price offer for the newly announced MacBook Pro (13-inch) with M1 chip: Price: $3,600 2.3GHz quad-core 10th-generation Intel Core i7 processor. 2.3GHz quad-core 10th-generation Intel Core i7 processor, Turbo Boost up to 4.1GHz Intel Iris Plus Graphics.Here’s Apple’s price offer for the spec’d out MacBook Pro (13-inch) with Intel processor: Apple M1 chip with 8-core CPU and 8-core GPUĪ fully specced MacBook Pro (13-inch) with Apple’s chip M1 is far cheaper (36% reduction in price) than its 10th-generation Intel Core i7 version. Thus, we’ve decided to make a very simple and dry comparison between fully specced MacBook Pro models: The M1 and its Intel twin. Apple has already claimed that the new design will allow better and more powerful devices that relatively have a lower price point.

The ability to develop, produce, and manufacturing your own chip can result in the reduction of production costs. Read all about the announcement in our article: Apple Reinvents the Mac With its own M1 Chip. The keywords for this announcement were: Speed and efficiency. Yesterday, Apple has announced its new reinvented Macs, armed with its own in-house M1 chip.

The new Mac computer with Apple’s own M1 chip M1: Apple’s in-house chip dedicated to Mac

It turns out that a fully specced M1 chip MacBook Pro is 36% cheaper than a spec’d out Intel model, which leads to the conclusion that Apple’s M1 indeed facilitates production costs and elevates efficiency. We’ve put together a simple and dry price comparison between the new reinvented M1 MacBook Pro, to its Intel twin.
