[@ncard00]

But if more ram doesn't affect real world application and game performance, it doesn't make sense to put more in there. Remember, the very fast SSD's are just as cache instead, and the ARM architecture is so much more efficient, in terms of performance per watt, compared to x86, that it makes up for the lower amounts of ram. So please look up specific benchmarks or tests for your specific workload/usecase, and see if more ram is a benefit, instead of just judging the 8gb as always being too low.

Buy a Windows laptop instead. The 14" MBP $1600 model is basically replacing the 13" model. To be fair, 8GB of unified RAM is better than bridge connected RAM on other systems. The downside, of course, is that if you want more RAM - that's a different chip.

Really interested to see the M2 Pro vs M3 Pro, as it has a reduction of P Cores (M2 Pro 8 P cores M3 Pro 6 P cores) Plus a reduction in memory bandwidth.

[@RidwanGosal]

I wouldn't worry too much about M3 pro P cores count since their E cores r practically clocked similar to last Gen P cores. And where did you get the info that M3 Pro has reduced memory bandwidth? I'm seeing near 50% faster memory bandwidth on cpu monkey.

[@cjeelde]

It's on the Tech Specs page for MBP14 M3. M3 = 100 GB/s (probably for the binned as well, not confirmed by Apple but I guess 100 GB/s) M3 Pro (both) = 150 GB/s (not 200!) M3 Max binned = 300 GB/s (not 400) M3 Max = 400 GB/s The retail MBP14 M3 Max is a binned M3 Max so less CPU cores and less GPU cores. So CPU cores M3 std 4 HP / 4 HE, 100 GB/s M3 Pro 5 / 6 (binned), 150 GB/s M3 Pro 6 / 6, 150 GB/s M3 Max 10 / 4 (binned), 300 GB/s M3 Max 12 / 4, 400 GB/s For those who are looking forward to Mac Studio M3, this machine's retail base model got binned Max chips both for M1 and M2. M3 Max will most likely be the binned version but you can get the real M3 Max for more money (on Apple Store). It's VERY likely. But let's wait for the launch and see which configurations we will get.

[@TheBardsCorner]

Hi Dave, Thank you for this video, I love how you share your unbiased opinion to the rest of us. What do you think of the reduction in memory bandwidth in the M3 Pro (200 > 150 Gbps) and M3 Max (binned) (400 > 300 Gbps)? Chip upgrades are much more expensive than in the M2 generation. I was pointing to a binned M2 Max with 32gb of UM and 2TB of SSD and it was € 4500. Now, binned M3 Max with 36gb of UM and same SSD is € 4850 (consider that it has lower memory bandwidth). This is truly bad… Finally, why does the binned M3 Max supports either 36 or 96GB of UM while you need the top model to get 48, 64 or 128? I hope this will be explained.

[@fitzman7]

What do you think about this? The past few days before the Apple event last night, I've heard several people mention and point out that it looks like Apple is doing things the way they are to get back to delivering devices on a yearly basis. For one, Apple's stock holders got after them recently, and second, because Apple was forced to deliver products on approximately a 1 & 1/2 year cycle their competition had time to catch up to them. (Like Intel) Regardless, it does make more sense to be on a one year cycle since they've been able to do that for years prior to 2020. They have the M3, M3 pro and max chips out for the MBP's in the fall, then get the MBA's out in the spring so that new college students can buy a laptop before going to school after summer, and finally the devices on the Ultra chipset comes out in the summer before the cycle starts all over again. It's not a far fetched notion as again, this would allow for buyers to better know when and schedule upgrading when they needed a new device (whether to wait til the new model came out if it was coming up or if not then buy the current/"older" model).

[@riklaunim]

You should do side by side with one of this year's Chinese gaming handhelds/GPD Win Max2 that offer up to 64GB RAM in much smaller form factors :D Also AMD in mobile is doing nicely. Apple vs new Intel, new AMD, new Qualcomm :) Strix Halo may be interesting.

Apple this time really stripped down too many things in M3 Pro: 1) Memory bandwidth down from 200Gb/s to 150Gb/s 2) less GPU cores compared to previous SoC 3) Also transistors count from 40 Billion to 37 billion I am not any kind of semiconductor expert but In my knowledge it doesn't make sense. Any explanation will be appreciated.

[@destroyerofsimps6574]

The m3 chip is faster so even with those reductions it's still faster so not as much of those are needed.

[@alpenjodel24]

The answer is probably chip binning. 3nm tech is quite hard to pull off, a lot of these chips basically come out partly defect and can't be used for higher end models. The raw compute power is still higher, because the functioning part of the chip is faster than before. That's why they can still use it as their mid-tier chip. But less bandwidth is always a sign for bad yields in the factories because they have to deactivate parts of the chip.

[@youtubeenjoyer194]

Problems of TSMC’s low quality N3B yields. It will be improved in next year with N3E process. That’s why Snapdragon sticks with 4nm for their 8 Gen 3

[@andyH_England]

They had to make a lot of changes due to the low 3nm yield. This has meant the improvements expected from 5nm to 3nm had to be watered down. Apple decided they already delayed the M3 a year and they could not wait longer, so did the best they could. The same with the Snapdragon X Elite, it could not get the efficiency cores to work well so rather than another delay they released with just 12 performance cores. It is not easy as we get to 3nm and people tend to expect too much.

No, you're right. Apple is pricing out people unless they're willing to sacrifice basic functionality to get their hardware. Like, why can't I use more than 1 external display unless I pay for the M3 Pro!? Why can't I upgrade my storage or replace it when it fails? And why can't I use my old iMac as an external display. It's of course because of money 💰.

[@bob_smite]

I think the event came out as response to Snapdragon X Elite processors for Windows on Arm. Both energy efficiency charts compared to a 12 core Intel laptop which is interesting. Did Apple know beforehand?

[@andyH_England]

That is a misnomer as the Snapdragon is not due out for 9 months, so Apple could have taken its time releasing the M3. More likely due to Intel's 14th gen arriving soon.

Happy birthday Dave! Thanks for your unbiased analysis as always. 1600$ for 8gb of RAM is even for apple standards a let down.

Like that is a bad yet deceptive marketing strategy that doesn't deserve to be used.

[@rileypeterson9090]

I can't help but wonder if they used that strategy because they didn't get a lot of people to leave M1 for M2. Maybe they feel that M1 was so good, they are having a hard time converting people to take the leap towards the next generations?

[@JasonTaylor-po5xc]

@@rileypeterson9090 Very few upgrade from M1 to 2 or 2 to 3. Same on the Intel path - rarely would anyone go from 10th to 11th gen. The latest bump is even worse - from 13th to 14th is basically pointless. I think that's why most of their comparisons focused comparing against the last Intel based Mac instead of previous M-series. M1 to 3 might be worth it for some - but it really depends on the use case. Honestly, I'm more keen on the hardware supported AV1 codec than anything else about M3.

[@JuanFmTech]

Funny how The 14” mackbook pro with M3 pro chip has less cpu gpu cores 1, 4 respectively and 25% less memory bandwidth than the previous m2 pro, with the discounts for m2 pro not being the new one and the downgrades of the new m3 pro model that would probably only be 10% faster but % wise more expensive than the m2 pro M2 pro its way better value

Now you're forced to go straight to Apple, cutting out Best Buy, Costco, etc from getting their margin from sales. Best buy won't sell you an M3 with 16GB of ram, only the next size up the M3 Pro because that base ram is 18GB.

​@@rightwingsafetysquad9872For me, it's the successor of the 13 inch m2 macbook pro and a very costly one at that. They should've priced it a lot lower if they were going with 8gb ram and 256gb ssd as base model. It isn't worth a cent over 1500$.

I would really love to know how much work you did put in to get to this stage.

I'm 37 and have been looking for ways to be successful, please how??

Actually I think the 8GB intro model is great. Honestly SO many people want the pro just for the better display and speakers and will use it as a KZbin machine.

I feel the driving factor to this special Apple event was the "shot on iPhone". They went through the effort to produce this content on an arguably minor announcement, so if the "shot on iPhone" flopped they could make this announcement in a different media form.

8GB of RAM is laugable. I just upgraded my laptop from 16GB to 32GB for $40 because solidworks was eating up too much

[@KryssN1]

You know that Windows laptops for 500$ have 16GB RAM for 1600$ you are looking at windows laptops with 32-64GB RAM and top end specs that run circles around M3 Max. It's just the battery life.

Happy Birthday Dave!🥳

There's a reason Apple continues to increase prices and upsell, it's because PEOPLE STILL KEEP BUYING THEM!!!!! How people just throw money around without a care in the world blows my mind, not a single thought behind those buying decisions unfortunately
