I currently have a 16" M1 Max 32GB/1TB/32GPU. I was wondering if there are any comparisons as to how the M4 Pro stacks up against this. Does anyone have any testing they’ve done or perhaps a website? (I couldn’t find any websites with this direct comparison)
Depends entirely game really. M4 pro would probably run wow way better in raids or other high player dense areas since they’re cpu bottlenecked areas. M1 max still probably ahead on gpu specific heavy areas.
Ultimately if you’re trying to avoid going m4 max though, I’d consider something like best buy which has 2 and even 3 year finance options vs shorting gpu performance. But then again that also depends on if you use mac for more than just gaming. since I use it for video encoding and streaming all the extra cores are quite essential.

Both are equally fine for this game. It comes down to one simple issue, do you want a new computer or not? I am using a M4 Pro and have zero issues with this game. I keep my frame rated capped.
Splurged on myself and traded in my M1 Max for the M4 Max, 128 GB with 2 TB of storage. It gets used for other stuff, but WoW isn’t an issue at all.

It’ll be a beast at anything you throw at it. I went from M1 max to m3 same way and 4 is even 20-25% greater than the M3 max.
