Scribbled Underline

The M1 Pro is equipped with a 10-core CPU with eight high-performance cores and two high-efficiency cores, as well as a 16-core GPU. Apple's high-end processors also include a 32-core NVIDIA GPU for enhanced graphics performance. To improve performance, all of the chips have unified memory that is shared by all chip components.
