What actually differs
Both GPUs launched in 2024: the M4 Max on Apple M4 and the M4 Pro on Apple M4.
Dense throughput for the M4 Max against the M4 Pro: FP32 18 vs 9.2 TFLOPS. Sparse figures, where the vendor publishes them, appear under each dense number in the performance table.
Memory is 128 GB against 64 GB, fed at 546 GB/s versus 273 GB/s. More memory per GPU means larger models fit before you have to shard across cards, which often matters more than raw TFLOPS for inference.
For LLM training and inference, weight the FP8 and FP16 rows and memory capacity most heavily. For scientific and HPC workloads, the FP64 row is the one to read.
