Apple M1 Pro 8 Core 3200 MHz Benchmarks

Bottom line: how fast is the Apple M1 Pro 8 Core 3200 MHz?

For local LLM inference it generates 12.0 tokens/sec running llama3.1:8b at q4_K_M under ollama, per Kunal Ganglani LLM Benchmarks. In PassMark CPU Mark it scores 17,185 points, per PassMark Software. Across all its cores it scores 9,567–9,581 points in Cinebench R23 multi, across two published results (Notebookcheck CPU benchmark listing, GadgetVersus CPU benchmark listing).

Every figure above is a row in the tables below, and each row links out to the review or public benchmark database the number was taken from. SpecPicks aggregates published measurements; it does not report first-party benchmark runs.

The Apple M1 Pro 8 Core 3200 MHz is a processor from Apple. Data on this page draws on 11 synthetic benchmark results (top 10 shown), 7 community AI inference reports, 4 measured game frame-rate results, compiled from Notebookcheck, llama.cpp GitHub, PassMark Software, Geekbench Browser, Kunal Ganglani LLM Benchmarks, GadgetVersus, iLLGaming, iThinkDiff, Mac Gamer HQ, MacGamingDB; each table row links to its source. Read this page when shopping the Apple M1 Pro 8 Core 3200 MHz, comparing it against other processors in your build, or sizing it for a specific workload (gaming at 1080p/1440p/4K, synthetic benchmark scores, or local LLM inference).

Gaming Performance (measured FPS)

Average and 1% low frame rates by game, resolution, and quality preset. Bars are scaled against the fastest result on this page.

Measured gaming frame rates for the Apple M1 Pro 8 Core 3200 MHz by game, resolution, and quality preset. “1% low” is the frame-time floor that determines perceived smoothness. A CPU’s frame rate depends on the graphics card it was tested with, named in the Test GPU column when the source records it. Each row links to its original review or benchmark database.

AI Inference Performance

Tokens per second under each model + quantization. Higher = faster generation. Bars compare runs across the same model.

Local LLM inference throughput on the Apple M1 Pro 8 Core 3200 MHz, in generated tokens per second for a single request (one user's generation speed). Higher is better; each row links to the community report or benchmark database it came from.

Synthetic Benchmarks

Higher is better. Bars are scaled within each benchmark family (multi-thread, single-thread, etc.) so you can compare like-with-like at a glance.

Synthetic benchmark scores for the Apple M1 Pro 8 Core 3200 MHz — higher is better. Each row links to the public database the number was taken from. A benchmark listed more than once is separate published results, shown as published rather than averaged.
