All Apple processors scattered in all different Macbook models. While the Apple only sells M4 Macbooks only, you can find older models for certain third-party merchants or fully renewed. If you stumble in its old chips (that appears four years ago), you may wonder how you compare with other options. We break the difference between each one.
M4 Series
M4: M4 is the current Chip of Ivel, which is presented in 2024. It has 10-core CPU and 10-core GPU. Apple says it brings a 1.8 times effective performance and 52 times speed-up of GPU than M1. At that time, the neural engine is more than three times as soon as possible and twice as quickly as M3. It also starts with 16 GB of integrated memory, which will help the Apple Intelligence (Suite of the symptoms of artificial intelligence) with very smoothness. Available in 14-Inch MacBook Pro (2024), IMAC (2024), and a MacBook (13-inch and 15-inch, 2025).
M4 Pro: The M4 Pro contains 14-Core CPU (which Apple claims reach 1.9 times faster than M1 Pro) up to 20-Core GPU, up to 64 GB of integrated memory. Designed in the second generation process of 3, and supports enhanced GPU features such as a mesh shading and tracking ray pressure – the last time there is twice as m3 chips. You will find it in the latest MacBook (14-inch and 16-inch) and Mac Mini (2024).
M4 max: The chip has 16-core CPU up to 40-core GPU with 128 memory support support. Apple says CPU up to 2.2 times faster than M1 max, while GPU reaches 1.9 times faster. As in M4 Pro, packing the support of the mesh shading and tracking. M4 max is currently the most powerful chip you can get from the Macbook, and is available at 14-inch and 16-Inch MacBook Pro. You can also find it a choice in the current MAC Studio.
M3 series
M3: The M3 is available at 14-Inch Maccook Pro (late 2023), inch-Inch Macbook (2024), 15-inch Macbook (2024), and 24-inch IMAC (2023). Packing 8-core CPU to 10-Core GPU with 24 GB memory for compound memory. Compared to M1, Apple CPU claims to work up to 35 percent and GPU performance up to 65 percent as soon as possible. The company says CPU and GPU are 20% faster than M2. As in M1 and M2, it is good for basic services such as words, sending emails, using spreadsheets, and light games. With a 13-inch and 15-inch mackook, and have two external shape (one additional display.
M3 Pro: With 12-Core CPU and the 18-Coore GPU, Apple says the M3 Pro GPU is up to 10% of M2 Pro-making this bitter revival. Compared with M1 Pro, however, the M2 Pro is up to 40 percent of the GPU performance and 20 percent quickly in CPU service. Available in 14-inch and 16-Inch Macook Pro from 2023. Very nice among those who need a strong chip more than M3 but will not use the full M3 MAX power.
M3 MAX: This is the next step from M2 Max and three very strong chips (but still is not strong as M2 Ultra). It has 16-core CPU, 40-core GPU, and up to 128 GB of united memory. According to Apple, the working of the CPU up to 80% faster than M1 max and 50% faster than M2 max. As for GPU’s operation, it is said to up to 50% faster than M1 max and 20 percent faster than M2 MAX. M3 MAX is available at 14-inch and 16-Inch MacBook Pro (late 2023).
M3 Ultra: While the M3 line was introduced in 2023, Apple announced M3 ultra in 2025. Confusing a very powerful chip in the M-series line. It has a CPU up to 32-core CPU (with 24 cores working) and GPU with up to 80 Cor 3s. Apple says it is up to 2.5 times faster than M1 ultra. It also comes with 96 GB of integrated memory, which is a development option up to 512 GB, while SSD storage can be increased to 16 GB. This chip is currently available in 2025 Mac Studio.
M2 series
M2: You can imagine that M2 is better than M1 Pro or M1 max, but you would be wrong. It is a chip to log in a chip like M1, with a slow processing. Packing 8-core CPU and is 10-core GPU (other GPUs some GPUs than before), as well as the combined memory memory support. Apple says the second generation chip has a 10 percent of a CPU and 35 Powerful GPU The M2 is ready for daily activities and the processing of the web and browsing, but the functions such as the broader 4K footage translation and 3D interpretation should be stored the M1 Pro (or two of the following two chips). Available in the MacBook in the MacBook (13-222 inches), MacBook Air (15 inch, 2022), and Macook Pro (13 inch, 2022).
M2 Pro: The M2 Pro is the next step from M2. It has up to 12 coles on the CPU and up to 19-core GPU, up to 32 GB of integrated memory. Apple claims for up to 20 percent faster than 10-core M1 pro and 30 percent as soon as possible. We recommend this chip of the middle editorial and photography editor. It is an accident renewal in comparison with M1 Pro, but it is the best way to those who want the future proof. You will find it in MacBook Pro (14-inch and 16-inch) from the beginning of 2023 and Mac Mini (2023).
M2 Max: M2 MAX packs up to 12-Core CPU and be 38-core GPU (support up to 96 GB of combined memory). According to Apple, the graphics are 30% faster than M1 max. M2 MAX is the best choice for those who work with grain-content, including Design Graphic, 3D Modeling, and Heavy-Duty-Duty Video Fook. But like M2 Pro, the growing development when you appear in M1 Max. Available in MacBook Pro (14-inch and 16-inch) which came out of the early 2023 and Mac Studio (2023).
M2 Ultra: This is a follower in M1 ultra. Available for a celebration of the second generation and mac pro (2023). Combined by two M2 MAX chips, using Apple’s Ultrafusion technology, M2 Ultra has 24-core CPU and GPU and GPU and GPU has been prepared with 60 or 76 colles. Apple says the CPU distributes to 20 percent and 30 percent of the fastest GPU than M1 ultra. This is a chip to get when you work with extremely Smalling content of believing in M1 ultra, M2 Pro, or M2 Max will only be able to manage. You will know if you need a chip this firm.
M1 series
M1: This is the beginning of the Silicon Appeared Spase by its MacBook Spirit by 2020. It has 8-core CPU to up to 8-core GPU. At first, there was up to 16 GB support for combined memory (RAM) at additional cost, but these days you can buy a 8-GB model only. It is very quick than Intel-powered Mac-Powered Macobook Pro, and it is a practical way for many, as in the most expensive Maccook’s ability to buy (from third party merchants). Packing in addition to sufficient consideration to get it with regular daily tasks – even a simple play – and can handle deep functions such as image planning.
M1 Pro: The next step up is M1 Pro. It has up to 10 comments on the CPU and up to 16-core GPU, up to 32 GB of integrated memory. Apple says work and the graphics both quickly as soon as M1. We’ve found it as much skill more than a basic chip, ready for anyone who works greatly in the Macbook production of music or video editing. Macook Pro (14-inch and 16-inch) from 2021 Use this chip.
M1 max: As M1 Pro, M1 Max has 10-core CPU but Heftier 32-Core GPU (support up to 64 GB of combined memory). Apple says four times faster than M1 according to graphics. As authenticated, the chip has great power and treats all the heavy functions. It was optional if you need a computer that can handle many 8K broadcasts or 4K video footage, 3D translation, or developing apps and active Demos. You probably already know that you need this lot of power. Available in MacBook Pro (14-inch and 16-inch) from 2021.
M1 Ultra: M1 Ultra is the second power to all. It is two M1 MAX chips connected with technology called ultravusion. Parking 20-core, 64-Core GPU (may be prepared for 128 GB of integrated memory), and the neural engine of 32-complete NEAL with multiple M1. Or the M3 Ultra is now available, M1 ultra remains stronger and strong option for anyone you need a heavy working process and greater view and graphics. It was only available on the first generation mac.
