This just shows to me how big of a deal was M1 Pro. I have been using my M1 Pro since February of 2022 and I see absolutely 0 reasons to upgrade to anything above it, as a full-stack developer. It does 100% and more of what I need, it's as fast as the day I bought it, it has no problem running multiple Docker containers, npm, Laravel, multiple web browsers, terminal windows... I am planning to keep mine until it fails.

3:29 I think the memory bus and memory bandwidth are two different things. Memory bus width is the number of lanes and the memory bandwidth is the speed. That highway analogy is awesome! The only difference I would suggest is that they have different speed limits, instead of lane difference. The lanes are actually more in M3 Pro, but the speed is slower. The data can be broken into smaller chunks and sent sooner in a multilane, but slower individual lanes, than few lanes but faster individual lanes, if that makes sense. Thanks for the video! I am still in the market for a Macbook and this was really helpful.

I bought a new base model 14 inch M1 MBP around Christmas back in 2022 for a nice $500 discount and when the M2 came out shortly after, I remember thinking I done goofed. But the M1 turned out to be a total beast. It handles literally anything I throw at it and I think it will continue to for years to come. I still have my 2013 13 inch MBP from college that still works okay after all that time, so I can't imagine how much longer the M1 will remain powerful. Great video!

[@drev487]

Is MetalRT used in any way in blender viewports or when playing with shaders or even painting textures or is it used just only for rendering? Same question additionally about Substance Painter if I may ask. Does Metal speedup working process in viewports in both apps? I'm deciding between M2 and M3 but I won't be rendering in any of those apps. I will assamble assets in Unreal Engine though... I guess Metal can be used for compiling shaders in UE etc.

The only difference is that the Pro chips that you get in the 16" versions are not binned, you just get the full Pro chips. Those are also an option in the 14" MBP. And as he says, he is comparing the base models that you can buy anywhere.

if you're on a budget a used M1 Pro is absolutely a great value however if you're a power user to any capacity especially if your workflow is more CPU intensive, you notice and appreciate the gains with each iteration of apple silicon. I upgraded from M2 to M3 pro and M3 is considerably better. for me, apps like Xcode and figma open up a lot faster, code compilation is a lot faster, intelisense is a lot faster. Mind you, I came from a base M2 but that shouldn't matter as for my workflow, the base M2 was actually faster in a lot of cases than the M2 Pro for a lot of single core tasks. Id refer anyone to Alex Ziskinds vids on this this comparison.

[@MsSjaakvaak]

The M3 should have significantly better battery life in low power mode at comparatively better speeds. For those doing long days of simple work w/o a charger that’s a serious advantage and for those not needing the power you can also argue that lower power consumption would give you a bit more (long term) battery longevity (lower temp and fewer cycles)

[@ales7838]

Im not sure why nobody realize and still guessing on why bandwitch has been lowered. Its obvious they were willing to separate pro and max, however if they kept it at 200 bandwitch it would still fit their purpose coz they also played with efficiency core count etc - so not the main objective for this. What it really is - apple made use of 3 channel memory instead of 2 channel memory (odd vs even amounts) by using 3x6 sticks instead of 8x2 to result in higher amount of ram for the base and nothing more than that. They could either kept them as 16 which wouldnt be a selling point for a new model but also to keep 200gb they had to do 2 sticks of ram and they had to customly build 10 gb stick which would end up at 20gb total by 10x2 which would for majority eliminate the desire to go higher and considered as too much. Thats that

I bought a few months ago an M1 Pro 16 inch with 32 gb unified memory. The laptop is almost new, and currently I am at the 53rd battery cycle. I use it with ease for graphic design, 3d modelling and rendering and video editing. The M1 is a great purchase!

Just $100 difference in some refurbished. Just get the m3 pro. Extra 2gb ram is worth it.

Basically, get an M2 Pro. The few exceptions against it are: wanting to game on a laptop, extreme video editing, or do 3-D work. If you do 3-D work and want to game on your laptop, get the M3 Max. Also, for extreme video editors.

You can absolutely game on an M2 Pro. I play No Mans Sky on ultra with all settings turned up no problem especially with game mode on Sonoma. The only real need for Max is extra Ram for gaming, as with the games out now you dont even need the extra gpu cores, even for video editing. Probably ai is the only reason you would want to get anything above the Pro.
