User reviews
General info
1.Supports 64-bit
✔Apple M1 Max
A 32-bit operating system can only support up to 4GB of RAM. 64-bit allows more than 4GB, giving increased performance. It also allows you to run 64-bit apps.
Small semiconductors provide better performance and reduced power consumption. Chipsets with a higher number of transistors, semiconductor components of electronic devices, offer more computational power. A small form factor allows more transistors to fit on a chip, therefore increasing its performance.
3.GPU clock speed
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
The graphics processing unit (GPU) has a higher clock speed.
4.Thermal Design Power (TDP)
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
The thermal design power (TDP) is the maximum amount of power the cooling system needs to dissipate. A lower TDP typically means that it consumes less power.
5.PCI Express (PCIe) version
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) is a high-speed interface standard for connecting components, such as graphics cards and SSDs, to a motherboard. Newer versions can support more bandwidth and deliver better performance.
6.CPU temperature
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
If the CPU exceeds the maximum operating temperature then problems such as random resets can occur.
7.DirectX version
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
DirectX is used in games, with newer versions supporting better graphics.
8.number of transistors
57000 million
A higher transistor count generally indicates a newer, more powerful processor.
9.OpenGL version
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
OpenGL is used in games, with newer versions supporting better graphics.
Performance
1.CPU speed
8 x 3.2GHz & 2 x 2GHz
The CPU speed indicates how many processing cycles per second can be executed by a CPU, considering all of its cores (processing units). It is calculated by adding the clock rates of each core or, in the case of multi-core processors employing different microarchitectures, of each group of cores.
More threads result in faster performance and better multitasking.
3.L2 cache
12MB
A larger L2 cache results in faster CPU and system-wide performance.
4.turbo clock speed
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
When the CPU is running below its limitations, it can boost to a higher clock speed in order to give increased performance.
5.L3 cache
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
A larger L3 cache results in faster CPU and system-wide performance.
6.L1 cache
192KB
A larger L1 cache results in faster CPU and system-wide performance.
7.L2 core
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
More data can be stored in the L2 cache for access by each core of the CPU.
8.Has an unlocked multiplier
✖Apple M1 Max
Some processors come with an unlocked multiplier which makes them easy to overclock, allowing you to gain increased performance in games and other apps.
9.L3 core
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
More data can be stored in the L3 cache for access by each core of the CPU.
Memory
1.RAM speed
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
It can support faster memory, which will give quicker system performance.
2.maximum memory bandwidth
408GB/s
This is the maximum rate that data can be read from or stored into memory.
3.memory channels
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
More memory channels increases the speed of data transfer between the memory and the CPU.
The maximum amount of memory (RAM) supported.
5.Supports ECC memory
✖Apple M1 Max
Error-correcting code memory can detect and correct data corruption. It is used when is it essential to avoid corruption, such as scientific computing or when running a server.
6.bus transfer rate
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
The bus is responsible for transferring data between different components of a computer or device.
DDR (Double Data Rate) memory is the most common type of RAM. Newer versions of DDR memory support higher maximum speeds and are more energy-efficient.
8.eMMC version
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
A higher version of eMMC allows faster memory interfaces, having a positive effect on the performance of a device. For example, when transferring files from your computer to the internal storage over USB.
9.bus speed
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
The bus is responsible for transferring data between different components of a computer or device.
Features

3.uses multithreading
✖Apple M1 Max
Multithreading technology (such as Intel's Hyperthreading or AMD's Simultaneous Multithreading) provides increased performance by splitting each of the processor's physical cores into virtual cores, also known as threads. This way, each core can run two instruction streams at once.
4.SSE version
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
SSE is used to speed up multimedia tasks such as editing an image or adjusting audio volume. Each new version contains new instructions and improvements.
5.Has F16C

NEON provides acceleration for media processing, such as listening to MP3s.
7.Has MMX
✖Apple M1 Max
MMX is used to speed up tasks such as adjusting the contrast of an image or adjusting volume.
The CPU can decode more instructions per clock (IPC), meaning that the CPU performs better
9.Has TrustZone
✔Apple M1 Max
A technology integrated into the processor to secure the device for use with features such as mobile payments and streaming video using digital rights management (DRM).
