[@janissaryfilms]

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

[@otrapendejada]

Same also with blender, renders of a little bit longer are no problem but how does it perform when adding better lighting, cycles, more models, more subsurface divisions, etc

[@AlChered]

True

[@iXeo81]

They did that in the past and it was always very smooth (M1, M2). I think this is why they do not mention it anymore. Of course if you do multitasking and use bigger files or bigger projects you need more RAM and maybe more storage. 8GB: Great for browsing online, streaming movies, messaging with friends and family, editing photos and personal video, casual gaming, and running everyday productivity apps. 16GB: Great if you will be multitasking across a large number of memory-intensive apps, including professional video editing. 24GB or more: Best if you typically work on advanced projects that require enormous files and content libraries.

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.

[@JustAPersonWhoComments]

I’ve seen similar comparisons between the M2 Max and M3 Max. So for anyone who has an M2 Max chip, you don’t really need an update, unless you really want the new Space Black Color, those who come with the M1 Max chip, half of you will probably want an upgrade, and the other half would need to hold off for next year. Those who has an intel based Mac is a substantial upgrade

[@tonytech5520]

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.

[@adambuhrer]

[@PersonSuit]

Seeing the benchmarks I was getting pretty interested in maybe upgrading until I saw the fan speed during that Cenibench test. For me the quietness of my M1 Max has been so key to an amazingly happy experience. They never ramp up unless I am playing a game and then its really not that bad at all. However, the M3 Max, while super fast, if it starts to ramp up and eventually hits 100% fan speed when my M1 Max only ever hit around 40% when I am running harder tasks, it honestly makes me want to consider getting a M3 Max Mac Studio just for those tasks and keep the M1 Max MacBook for a much more comfortable and casual experience. This Macbook is now litterally the reason why I love and hate PC gaming laptops. Ultra gaming performace but they get SOO loud that it's just not enjoyable for me. Thankfully those gaming laptops usually have performance modes so you can lower the fan speed at the cost of some performace. I wonder if running on low power mode may do the same thing for the M3 Max... MaxTech if you read this at all. can you please do a noise comparison with the M3 Max gaming or running Cenibench to max out the CPU/GPU and then put it in Low Power mode and compare the difference?

[@broccoloodle]

there is an app to manually ramp up the fans. spoiler: the noise is terrible 😂

[@cmoullasnet]

If you normalize to performance, there will be less noise. In other words, if you were to slow down a new 3nm chip to perform the same as an older 5nm chip it would use less power and by proxy run quieter. Not that it helps you if you’re regularly maxing out your cores, but if that’s you then you’ll likely prefer saving half your life waiting for things in time than a bit more noise anyways…

[@broccoloodle]

@@cmoullasnet it does not that way, the heat is propotional about frequency^2, and you cannot manually reduce the freq of any apple chip (please do the calculation yourself)

[@cmoullasnet]

@@broccoloodle The die shrink has reduced power at the same performance level. Yes, to some extent power will increase with frequency, but the effect is minimal and more than offset by the die shrink. Otherwise, power is also highly dependent on the input voltages which need to be ramped to reach higher frequencies typically… but this topic can get VERY long. Just know that the die shrink increased performance per watt by a significant margin…

Same here. I'll probably upgrade around the M5 or M6, the next leap. The M4 vs M3 will most likely be like the M2 vs M1. Not sure if we can get to 2 or 1nm in the next few years, so looking to Apple to make the gains in the actual chip itself (which is also good). Another good thing, the SnapDragon is starting to catch up, which is great for the M series as Apple will want to make sure they keep innovating for their sales. Also means lots more native ARM software in non Apple areas, like Windows and Linux. Also noticed chip lithography technology is improving and getting cheaper. Hope it can get to a place in 10 or so years where Apple could set up their own fab and not need to schedule with TSMC or whoever (won't hold my breath on that one though)...

Video editors should wait for Final Cut Pro to get its update as promised by Apple. That will probably take advantage of the new GPU features, and perhaps the double encoders on the M3 Max.

I want to know if the new space black is faster than the original silver

[@alexeymalafeev6167]

How about M3 Max vs M3 Pro battery life?

[@C0LiDe]

Thank you very much. Can you recommend a protective case for the new MacBook Pro?

[@saimantickbhadra]

Can you do a similar comparison between with Pro chipsets? M1 pro 10 unbinned vs M2 pro unbinned vs M3 pro unbinned.

Thank you for amazing comparison test.

Coool review guys!!! Just a question about the Logic test. Are you just loading audio tracks, midi tracks with virtual instruments, or audio tracks with audio fx plugins, and if so which ones. Thanks!!!!
