It doesn't bother ME... but one of my friends goes crazy when he hears someone say the word 'LESS' when they should be saying 'FEWER' . It's not 'less cores'. It's 'fewer cores'. That's because it's a countable item. For everything else, you can say 'less'. Could my comments be FEWER irritating? No. But they could perhaps be LESS irritating? YES!!!

[yogiyoda]

Max is so funny. Always trying to find drama and generate excitement regarding benchmarks. I value the testing though!

[overkill]

no point to replace M3 if you have M1 in your hand

[josiahastwood]

Surprising results! Still very happy with my m1 pro mac power and efficiency. Thankyou max tech for all these comparisons!!

[husseinmasri]

As someone coming from Intel, I will definetely buy the M3 Pro. Thanks for the video

[foxyman]

Huh, that's why I like watching videos with tear downs in them. Had no idea about the larger heat block on the M3 models. That's good to know, will never complain about improved thermals.

[TylerMarsh]

I would love to see you put the 11/14 M3 Pro vs the 12/18 M3 Pro. For the minimal cost in upgrading it would be great to see if it’s worth it.

[adl]

Thanks for including Logic in your test! As a music producer i´m always happy to see those getting tested as well. 😃
Quiet shocking to see an older Macbook outperforming a new one. 😯
Planning on getting the M3 Max, that should outperform the M2 Max (hopefully).

3:20 "M3 Pro can no longer get 8TB of RAM" 💀

[techinrl]

I think there’s another reason why the M3 Pro has been changed so radically. I believe this chip is destined for the new iPad Pros to differentiate the IPad Pros from the Airs, which will only get the M3. iPads need more efficient chips and have worse thermals, so they can’t have too many performance cores, nor too many graphics cores. This chip ssems to be designed for power savings, something an iPad needs. The prices of the Pro and Max are too different for this to be an upsell only. Few people will spend an extra $1100 to go from a Pro to Max if they had been in the market for a Pro to begin with.

[ducktails]

I'd like to see comparisons against the M1 Pro. I don't see people upgrading from M2, but rather M1 which I think is one reason why Apple kept comparing M3 to M1 in the Keynote. Maybe even compare to the last gen Intel MacBook Pros as well. These would be much better comparisons. If someone upgrades from an M2 they were gonna do it regardless of the performance because they're ones who just have to have the latest tech at all times.

Pleased with my binned M3 Pro on my 14" MacBook Pro. From the 8/7 base M1 on my Air it's a massive step up.

[flexairz]

A new chip with less cores and less memory bandwidth and still beating the M2 Pro means MORE efficient cores on less power.. That's no downgrade my dear Watson. That is a HUGE improvement.

[truecuckoo]

Reducing memory bandwidth (that they were so proud of when they introduced it in previous chips) is the biggest blow. But I get it. Probably just a tiny fraction of both users and developers that even make use of that insane bandwidth. I see the M3 as a first generation 3nm product, which they will learn a lot from. I expect big refinements in M4. And as Vision Pro rolls out, we have a new target platform for low power, low heat, max performance. Should motivate them to be on top of the game.

[eriknelson]

Even MKBHD did not see the point to upgrade from M1...

[robocobrabot]

I had a feeling this might be the case. The engineers know what they are doing, and I think they struck a real sweet spot between power and efficiency with this model.

[ILLESTTRUTH]

I’ll be upgrading from a m1 air to a m3 pro. The promotion and redesign will keep me with the m3 for years and years

[MandrakeCigars]

For Lightroom classic, exporting is typically not a big deal as part of the end of a workflow. However, the denoise function done in the middle of the workflow can bring a system down to it's knees. Would love to see that test.

[jamonleecarter]

just bought brand new m1max 14" 64gb ram and 2tb ssd for $2500. m3 max is not mind blowing to me since m1max is still one of the best laptops out there for ux/ui designers and no need to spend over $4k for that "extra" performance. very happy with my purchase
