MacBook Pro M1 Max 32GB

Apple · 32 GB LPDDR5 · 400 GB/s · 120 W · MSRP $3,299

The MacBook Pro M1 Max 32GB is a Apple accelerator with 32 GB LPDDR5 and about 400 GB/s peak memory bandwidth. AI Hashrate estimates local LLM decode (batch 1) at 8K context: fit counts weights + KV cache + 1 GB runtime overhead — not weights alone. At Q4, about 39 curated models fit fully on this card; at FP16, about 18 fit. Top Q4 speeds: MiniCPM5-1B ≈ 235.7 tok/s (estimated, fits); Qwen3.5-2B ≈ 127.3 tok/s (estimated, fits); DeepSeek-R1-0528-Qwen3-8B-layer-mix-bpw-3.8-mlx ≈ 110.7 tok/s (estimated, fits); Qwen3.6-35B-A3B ≈ 84.8 tok/s (estimated, fits); Qwen3.5-35B-A3B ≈ 84.8 tok/s (estimated, fits). Relative ranking is more reliable than absolute tok/s. See methodology for the bandwidth formula and measured-anchor policy. Methodology.
