This is extremely low compared to competitor designs, and is likely a reason Apple is able achieve such fantastic battery life.
Starting off with device idle, the chip reports a package power of around 200mW when doing nothing but idling on a static screen. Of course, there’s still an actual average power draw figure when under different scenarios, which is what we come to test here: As long as temperature is kept in check, the silicon will not throttle or not limit itself in terms of power draw. We repeat the exercise here for the 16” MacBook Pro, focusing on chip package power, as well as AC active wall power, meaning device load power, minus idle power.Īpple doesn’t advertise any TDP for the chips of the devices – it’s our understanding that simply doesn’t exist, and the only limitation to the power draw of the chips and laptops are simply thermals. Since then, we learned how to read out Apple’s individual CPU, GPU, NPU and memory controller power figures, as well as total advertised package power. Last year when we reviewed the M1 inside the Mac mini, we did some rough power measurements based on the wall-power of the machine. Baldur’s Gate 3 (Native M1)- 90 fps (1080p), 60 fps (1440p) and 35.Power Behaviour: No Real TDP, but Wide Range.Total War Saga: TROY (Native M1) – 64 fps (1080p High) and 69 fps (1440p medium) and 35.9 fps (2160p medium).Here are the average fps on 14-inch M1 Pro MacBook Pro: But to know if the pro notebook delivers a playable experience of triple-A games with a high resolution like GTA V and COD: Black Ops 3, YouTuber ran gaming benchmarks on 14-inch M1 Pro MacBook Pro with 8 core CPU, 14 core GPU, and 16GB RAM.ġ4-inch M1 Pro MacBook Pro gaming benchmarks – average frame rate per second of popular high resolutions gamesįor a comprehensive assessment of 14-inch M1 Pro MacBook Pro gaming benchmarks, MrMacRight ran games at different resolution to know which graphics setting will give the best fps. Powered by next-generation Apple Silicon, the 14-inch M1 Pro MacBook Pro has received promising reviews because of its high performance and power efficiency.
