The M1 Max GPU is more efficient than the AMD W6900X graphics card with 160,000 Taiwan dollars

Earlier, Affinity developer Andy Somerfield shared on Twitter a screenshot of the results of using Affinity Photo’s built-in running score function to test the M1 Max GPU. The one he used is the top version, equipped with 16-core CPU and 32-core GPU. The score is 32891, which is 309 points higher than the 32580 AMD Radeon Pro W6900X, which sells for 6,000 US dollars (about 166,000 Taiwan dollars). :

Although it is not a big surpass, the performance is quite amazing, and the 32GB GDDR6 memory of the Radeon Pro W6900X provides a bandwidth of up to 512GB/s, which is higher than the 400GB/s bandwidth of the M1 Max GPU unified memory, and the M1 Max is still the same. Win.

In addition, Jonathan Morrison, a well-known foreign YouTube channel, also found that the M1 Max’s MacBook Pro 16 has a hidden high-performance mode. Even if it is battery powered (not plugged in), it will run at full capacity, unlike Windows laptops that reduce the GPU power limit. .

The following figure shows the results of the battery-powered test. The Geekbench 5 score of the M1 Max is significantly ahead of the 5K iMac equipped with AMD 5700XT:
