I wish for video editing people would test timeline performance and denoising instead of export times. This to me is much more important as I don’t mind leaving a long export running overnight but I do care about how smooth the actual editing experience is

[nestorneto]

why did they release M2 Max and 6 months later M3 Max.. I feel like I got robbed.

[Origon]

I just went ahead and bought the base m3 max 14inch. It was a much needed upgrade from my m1. I needed it for Swift, Java and other software development. The 36 gb of ram is really clutch honestly. I’m able to virtualize a bunch of stuff with no slowdown. If you are a dev I highly recommend it.

[VinylTees]

The Geekbench multi core bars don’t match the actual numbers—it looks like the M3 max is double when it’s only from 15k to 20k. I’m sure it was just a mistake!

[LucianoBelotto]

Thanks for the XCode/programming test!

It seems that actual remaining battery capacity of the M2 Max test machine needs to be accounted for when comparing it to the M3 Max with its new battery in order to properly evaluate how long each machine will be able to operate on battery - especially if one is considering purchasing an M2 Max.

[samuellavoie]

Thanks! I was waiting for your thorough test on the M3 Max, and wow, it did not disappoint 😅

[point]

That's why it's called MaxTech. There should be a counter for how many times the word "Max" is being said in the video.

[lauracollins]

Can we have the 14” vs 16” m3 max comparisons next please.
Would like to know how much my preferred size is gimped

[Michaelpalomataoneaperture]

Can’t wait for M3 Max 16inch 64gb. It will nice to see how it handle with several layers of effect on video timeline. Previously owned M1 Pro 16inch literally struggle during playback when I had few layers of effect active. Great review overall and very informative content!! 👌🏽

[megyalilaballad]

Will you be comparing the 16" binned M3 Max to 16" unbinned M3 Max? Both stock specs.

[RAMusicRU]

3:45 I almost though my eyes are fooling me. The M3 max is 48% faster but the graph look like it's 2x faster) A but misleading but still great!

[OlexandrIgnatov]

The Logic test, particularly numbers from the M1 Max don’t seem to be accurate. My base MBP M1 Pro with 16Gb RAM hits 187-190 tracks before overloading. So more on par with the M2 Max. The M3 Max result of course is impressive!

[Alchemist]

As always, love how thorough your content is!! Bought the base M1 Macbook Pro two years ago and will be sticking with it for the foreseeable future. But would love to see these same comparisons with the Pro chips instead of the Max chips and using the 14" sizes

[PrioCaptSend]

8:16 the M3 Max is so blazing fast, it blew the collar off Vadim’s polo t-shirt.

[strmchild]

The graph at 7:58 is ridiculous. Whoever draws your graphs either can't do basic math or is being intentionally dishonest. The M3 Max score is 328, vs. 194 for the M2 Max — that's an increase of about 70%, but the bar is 325% longer. Also, how about showing what's on these "tracks", since comparing "tracks" is meaningless without knowing what plugins they're running, or whether it's just hundreds of copies of the same audio clip with some basic effects.

[tonytech]

Thank you for including the timestamps; I went straight to the Blender test since the main feature in the M3 APU is the graphics improvements. Rendering is a significant aspect of 3D modeling and animation, but even more important is the creative process. This is why viewport performance is crucial for 3D graphics designers. The ability to preview the scene (composition) in real-time at a quality level closer to the final product is the holy grail of 3D animation and something that can't be tested with synthetic benchmarks.

[Shutterandvoyages]

Such a helpful and detailed video. Kudos to you guys for putting in so much efforts.

[AngeloPillon]

Can you do also a video with the M1 Pro- m2 pro -m3 pro?

[jusbeazy]

When you do video production tests can you please include Premiere Pro? Many of us do not use FCPX.
