Apple presents the new 13-inch MacBook Pro with M1 chip

Apple says the 5-nanometer M1 chip featured in the new MacBook Pro boasts the world’s fastest integrated graphics with a 16-core neural engine capable of processing 11 trillion operations per second.

The 13-inch MacBook Pro is Apple’s most popular business notebook.

With the M1 chip and Big Sur , the 13-inch MacBook Pro becomes even more powerful and professional. The 8-core CPU , when paired with the MacBook Pro’s active cooling system, is up to 2.8x faster than the previous generation, delivering breakthrough performance when compiling code, transcoding video, editing photos at high resolution and more.

The 8-core GPU is up to 5x faster, allowing you to enjoy super-smooth graphics performance whether we’re designing a graphics-intensive game or a new product. And with the M1, the 13-inch MacBook Pro is up to 3x faster than the best-selling Windows laptop in its class. 3ML is up to 11x faster and for on-device ML tasks using the Neural Engine, the new 13-inch MacBook Pro is now the world’s fastest compact business notebook

With up to 17 hours of wireless web browsing and up to 20 hours of video playback, MacBook Pro offers up to double the battery life of the previous generation and the longest battery life ever seen on a Mac.

Thanks to the new M1 chip, the new 13-inch MacBook Pro is much faster than its predecessor:

• Code in Xcode up to 2.8x faster.
• Render a complex 3D title in Final Cut Pro up to 5.9x faster.
• Fluidly design complex game scenes in Unity Editor up to 3.5x faster.
• Run ML tasks in Create ML up to 11x faster.
• Separate rhythms, instrumental tracks, and vocal tracks from a real-time recording in djay Pro AI, thanks to the extraordinary performance of the Neural Engine.
• Play high-quality 8K ProRes video in DaVinci Resolve without missing a single frame.
• Compiles four times more code on a single charge, thanks to the revolutionary performance per watt of the M1 chip.

Other new features on the new 13-inch MacBook Pro include studio-quality microphones for super-sharp recording and call, and Apple’s latest ISP camera in the M1 chip allows for sharper images and more detail during video calls.
