The new Macbook Pro's are HALF as efficient as the Macbook Air/Pro 13" in web browsing!
Battery life is a massive improvement over the successor, but efficiency is down quite a bit compared to these original M1 Macs.
Part of this is due to screen differences, part due to SOC/mem.

With the die shots Apple released. I think there are some errors in it.
Using them for face value, @Locuza_ + @andreif7 calculated die sizes:
M1 Pro 245.08-245.92mm^2
M1 Max 429.17-432.35mm^2
Both noticed some these, but it should be
M1 Pro 241.7mm^2
M1 Max 383.5mm^2

Why the discrepancy?
The Firestorm CPU core, GPU cores, and 11 TOPs NPU are all scaled larger.
If they were scaled the same as real die shots of M1, then those would be the die sizes.
Both @Locuza_ and @andreif7 noticed this odd scaling btw

The M1 Max has 2 NPUs in the die shot, but Apple says the performance is that of 1.
Both these issues make me think Apple showed doctored die shots, not real, for Max.
@GPUsAreMagic had speculated the lower right NPU could be masking HBM IMC which could be use on Mac Pro?! Whoa!

I straight up don't believe this image from Apple. M1 Pro/Max use ~20W for what i7 11800H consumes ~65W.
These chips use the same Firestorm cores found in M1.
Based on various M1 testing, that just doesn't seem feasible to me.
Predicting it will be 20W vs 40-50W.
Still awesome!

Frequency is 3.2GHz
Efficiency is unmatched, but woulda liked to see Apple push harder for single threaded crown
ST power measures ~6-7W in single thread loads
M1 Pro/Max yields ~1,749 ST GeekBench for example
Intel Alderlake does ~2,000 with >20W ST power

Weight. These laptops are heavy. In fact they will be the heaviest laptops I've ever daily driven personally. I have had quite a few laptops from SandyBridge era and on. Even had a 13" Macbook Pro for one of my former jobs.
14" - 3.5 pounds / 1.6kg
16" - 4.7 pounds / 2.1kg
14" - 3.5 pounds / 1.6kg
16" - 4.7 pounds / 2.1kg
Before anyone asks, the preorder is still in
I patiently await for what I think will be the best laptop on the market for a long time to come.
Despite this, you all know me as a petty nitpick guy.
So I wanted to get a little pedantic!

Should source/justify some of this.
1st table is just based on the specs on Apple.com.
Die shots are guesswork based on shots in prez. We need real high quality shots before any conclusions.
Clocks assume GB results are correct, usually are but has been wrong before
