 Hello everyone, welcome back to another MacBook Pro tutorial and this one we're inside freeform and I want to give you a side-by-side comparison between the 2021 MacBook Pro which is what I'm actually recording this on the M1 Pro and the M1 Max chip versus the 2023 MacBook Pro that was just announced that uses the M2 Pro and the M2 Max chip. This is a side-by-side comparison in terms of the specs and specs only as you can see here the new version let's start over here on the M2 Pro and M2 Max here it is 12-core CPU maximum with eight performance cores and four efficiency cores on the M2 Pro and a 12-core CPU with eight performance cores and four efficiency cores with the M2 Max. Okay very very interesting on the MacBook Pro the old version 2021 and it's not that old it was up to 10 cores which is this one here with eight performance cores as well and only two efficiency cores and the M1 Pro as 10-core CPU with eight performance cores and two efficiency cores as well so they're very very similar the real difference is as far as I can tell is there's just two more efficiency cores but there's not more performance cores so how that is going to weigh out in the in like geek bench scores and in in the testing that's sure to come very very soon it's hard to say Apple gave some preliminary ideas that it could be up to 40% faster on the new version compared to the to the 2021 version for I believe it was color grading in in in DaVinci color and a few processing things in Photoshop was 40% faster again this hasn't been verified this has just been stated again we still got to see this come the score should be in soon and talk in terms of the GPU this is where it really gets kind of heavy it's now up to a 19-core GPU with the M2 Pro which is great it's three more than the M1 Pro but here's the crazy part it's now up to a 38-core GPU on the M2 Max now in the older version the 2021 it was a 16-core GPU with the M1 Pro and 32-core GPU with the M1 Max and this one here I'm recording on is a 32-core GPU and I'll be honest with you this laptop really really rolls hard so these are the big changes the other thing you'll notice here is that you can now get up to 96 gigabytes with the M2 Max in terms of memory where on the old one you can on the 2021 you could only get up to a 64 for all of you people that are big in the three-day space or if you're you know making things in cinema 40 or something like that this could make a difference to you other small changes are wi-fi 6e versus wi-fi 6 in the old version bluetooth 5.3 versus 5.0 and perhaps the bigger one is HDMI 2.1 in the macbook pro 2023 this is interesting because this allows you to plug in I believe 8k monitors where in the 2020 2021 version part of me uh it was only going up to 4k and also it increases the the hertz that you can get going in the a new one I think it was up to 240 hertz on a 4k monitor is now supported the last thing a lot of people of course will be interested in is the battery life it's basically a one-hour jump on the 14 and a one-hour jump on the 16 so all in all it's a decent upgrade but if you have the 2021 version like like for example I have I don't think it justifies the price at this point but uh it's really nice to see Apple keep pushing the the envelope here I like to see them using their own silicon and going hard for it so anyways guys let me know your thoughts on this are you going to upgrade is it worth the upgrade from the 2021 to the 2023 let me know in the comments below I got a ton more stuff coming up stay tuned
