Just a heads up. Your chart on surface temps is backwards. Should be 43 degrees on 14 inch and 35 degrees on 16 inch. You said it correctly but the chart is reversed.
And what’s more interesting, his results are quite different from my own test on 14’ m3 max. I highly doubt his results. (Unplugged and high performance mode)I tested on my 14 m3 max unit. Cinebench 2024 is around at 1580, event hits at 1605. And 71 seconds Xcode compilation. Overall performance shows Merely no noticeable performance between 16inch and 14inch, but at cost of noise and battery life.
@@kenny7210so is the 14” with Max as powerful as the 16”? I purchased the M3 Max with 64 gb of ram for AI. I plan on mostly using this for video but also have a lot of browser business apps. Also plan on using bots but was hoping to download my own personal llm. Any help is appreciated!
Always go for the 16 - i outlined the many reasons to do it in a video: the 16-inch MacBook Pro provides a larger display and more efficient cooling system, ideal for enhanced visual workspace and sustained high performance. Additionally, its longer battery life makes it better suited for extended use without frequent charging.
I used the 16" M3 pro for the last week and found the size to be uncomfortably big (via subjective criteria). Now on a binned M3 Max 14". My work comp has been a 14" M1 Max with 64 GB and I work on one of the biggest repos out there without any thermal or perf issues.
@@skafwadieI haven’t tested heating issues yet on the m3 pro, but the issue is still 14” chassis vs 16”. not only are there other reasons why 16 is better, but just for the cooling aspect of it alone, it will be more capable than the 14.
@@yuriyfromamerica3558it’s true that if you go from a 14 to a 16, initially, it will feel too big (subjectively as you said), but you will be used to it in a matter of a few days.
Hey nice to see you here! Big fan of your channel as well. I agree with what you said here, specifically when you’re getting an M3 Max, which is of course the top spec (which I am). Probably M3 Pro as well. But what about the 14” M3? Do you have any thoughts on that?
After three weeks of using a new 14" 16/40 M3 Max, I must admit that this is the best notebook I have ever used, and your review is misleading. I have a direct comparison to 14" 14/30, and the thermal management is almost the same to each other. In real life, all fans are off during the vast time of your work because the chip is so powerful that your work is done sooner than it hits its limit to start cooling. Even while gaming the AA title or under heavy load, I've never got more than 5200rpms. I would definitely recommend a smaller factor of 14" and 16/40 after my experience as a perfect choice for traveling. The performance is stunning!
that makes both of us! He ignored the fact that you can over ride the thermal throttling which is done for BATTERY LIFE not because the 14 cant handle it... a power user will set the system to HIGH POWER MODE not positive the actual wording... but i do know that the DEFAULT is AUTO... Myself id keep it on high power default myself and only switch to auto or low when battery life matters. Even plugged in this thing is going to use a ton less energy than all the macs ive used the past 2 decades. I think his review IS misleading but i have a hunch the guy just got out his geek toy tester kit and never checked the fact that performance was ADJUSTABLE! Kinda matters.... ive seen the 14 inch trail the 16 in most all my research but by razor thin margins.... like 15000. vs. 14988. really tiny amounts. He has some massive cliffs the 14 drops off and the more i think about it... thats exactly what would happen to the 14 when pushed super hard on AUTO SETTING!!! RU-vid.... you get what we paid for this review.... always cross reference
I wanted to buy the 14'' M3 Max but than I watched your performance comparison on the exact models with the M2 Max and well, now I watch this on my 16'' M3 Max and this thing totally blows my mind! Thank you so much for your reviews! :)
@@NNox_ Hi sry for the late response. it is very good. when you run normal multi-tasking-productivity applications the battery will easily last the whole day or even longer. I haven't done a lot of heavy duty workloads on battery yet but so far it would last for multiple hours too. but I also try to use the battery in the least corroding way which means I try to never keep in plugged in for too long and always stay between 20-80% of charge.
Can't wait for the 14/30c vs 14/40c test! I think the 14/40 is only fine for short bursts. Real Game Tests would be nice. Missed the Blender Render Test!
I’ve got the point 14’’ 14c/30 it for 2 months now it works perfectly 💪🏾 And if you want mobility it’s perfect In my case i have an imac 5k at home that’s why i went for a 14 inch
I have a 14” m3 pro unbinned and saw notably ~15% higher multi core number on cinebench 2024 vs a review of a binned model I saw online. No overheating issues at all.
As much as I love what Apple accomplished with the "Apple Silicon," yeah, no matter what, at least for now, we ended at the same point... more power -> more heat -> a better cooling system. Just think about gaming, Apple is starting to explore, but this is so much different to render because a normal gamer expects the same performance for hours of gaming, and yeah, that's the reason why we have big graphic cards, big pc cases and better cooling systems 😢😢 but it's incredible what a laptop can do these days
Please do this test with Base 14-core M3 Max on Macbook Pro 14" - I think that is the sweet spot to reduce overheating and noise while maintaining portability.
The FCPX playback test of the 8K footage was worth the price of admission alone to this vid. I've been asking other YT's to show this. That 8K Canon footage is one of the toughest codecs out there for machines. Imagine spending as much as the 14" M3 MacBook Max costs and seeing that stuttering on playback! Totally unacceptable. I would've liked to have known whether it was playing back at "Better Quality" and what the frame rate was as well.
I had a 16" M1P and after almost a year, replaced it with 14". All of a sudden, my MBP became more portable. But, I do miss the larger screen real estate and speakers I loved while watching movies when I am away from home. So, like he says, if portability isn't important for you, go for 16"
I just bought a maxed out 14inch MBP M3 Max; and while this video is very concerning, I will stick with 14inch. I bring it to travel and when home, my desktop machine connected to 32 inch Display. I used to have 16 inch intel MBP, but it's just too heavy and too big to travel. I then upgraded to 14inc M1 Max. I think i'll stick with 14inch. I edit 8k video Prores 4444 and they play smoothly. Canon R5 8K is notoriously hard to edit.
@@tinot5093 what are you made of? I mean, 2 extra inches and you drop down? If I can carry a 14, let me tell you now that I can carry a 16 without any inconvenience. Most backpack are made for 14,15,16,17. Don't understand where the portability comes from removing 2 inches, but in the process, you give away, larger screen, better battery, better speakers, and a superior cooling system, yes for those full 2 inch.
That's a bummer. Unfortunately, the 16 inch is a hard no for me. I tried it when the retina display was only available in the larger size and hated it. Honestly 14 is pushing it. I wish they'd made the 14 inch a little thicker to accommodate cooling required to take advantage of the additional power.
I feel like in a stress test I would expect the smaller one, to get hotter and throttle more, surely thats a "given" though? Same reason desktops -> laptops. Be interesting to see a comparison with a real world task, rather than something designed to blow it up. Personally I've always preferred the 14, just find it more flexible and... it is a fair bit cheaper - the bigger screen, fans etc aren't free, worth mentioning that those things come with a $$ attached to them. It's also worth considering that the 14 with a cooling pad (which are very cheap), may be able to produce exactly the same performance as the 16.
Oh nuts! I was hoping I could go 14” this year… looks like nope I I want the most performance! Thanks again guys, you’re doing so great work 👍 I really hope to see a binned vs full M3 Max comparison soon 🙏
@@cguldogan well, I certainly get your points, I think that to be fair to them, they are coming from a certain perspective of pro users, who need every ounce of performance. They said that if you don’t need all the performance and portability is your main focus, go with the 14 inch. But go with the 16 inch performance is your main deciding factor.
@@Epicgamer_Mac Keep in mind that this comparison has high power mode enabled. If the power mode is set to auto, fan noise and performance may be near identical. Also, synthetic benchmarks that max out CPU and GPU only matter if your workflow has similar loads. I would buy the one you like, test it for a week, and decide if you need the extra thermal headroom.
@@yuriyfromamerica3558 That’s true, good point about high power mode. I do think the extra battery and screen size of the 16” might be worth it for me, all things considered, but I know some people (my Dad for example) who really should be going 14” this year.
I ordered the 14" binned M3 Max and can't wait to get it. Apple wasn't really promoting the 16 core M3 Max in the 14" as it was buried as an upgrade option choosing the binned Max. A better comparison would have been the binned M3 Max on both the 14 and 16. This guy pumped up the 14" when he felt a need to dump on the 15" MBA. Don't sweat it.
To be fair some users do prefer size and weight over a sliver of extra performance. It’s kind of a given a smaller less expensive model might be a tiny bit slower. Apple could have a dedicated chip just for the 14” that is slightly slower but they don’t. They give us the full chip and shorter tasks will be much faster because of it. The longer tasks are still insanely fast and the only thing really impacted are bragging rights. The 14” Max in no way is a bad but. It’s a killer laptop much more capable than the 14” Pro. The entire point of a laptop is to be light and small to take with you on the road. That’s important to a lot of users that do want to balance usability vs performance. Plus not every user is editing 8k raw video or gaming on a Mac. They could be performing a lot of tasks on the go where they want more performance but don’t want to lug around a larger and heavier laptop to get more performance.
I’d like to see a thermal/fan/noise test between a 16” M3 Max 14cpu/30GPU vs a 16” M3 Max 16cpu/40gpu. I’m hoping the 16” 14/30 runs quiet for complex audio production projects with Logic Pro. I’m looking for the fastest quiet MBP (with the least amount of GPU overkill 😊). A friend says he’s never heard the fan on his M1 Max used for audio production. I’m hoping the 16” 14/30 M3 Max can do the same, but with even more power. Thanks for your videos!
👍Very informative, a huge thank you 👍 for this comparison using M3-max (top tier 16/40)! It follows the same pattern you identified for the M2-max (top-tier) 14" & 16" models. If you happen to have access to this laptop... I'd be very interested to see an addendum to add the ***14" M3-max (lower-tier 14/30)*** to the comparison to see if the lower CPU/GPU count would fit more neatly into the smaller thermal envelope and resolve the thermal 'bottleneck', as there is also a considerable cost difference between the 14" M3-max (14/30) and 16" M3-max (16/40). If the lower tier M3-max 14" 'fits' more neatly into it's smaller thermal envelope to enable it to fully utilise its CPU & GPU cores; then don't you think it would offer a very good value option for those who want portability (pehaps also use an external screen), don't need quite as much processing power but still need a computer for intensive tasks. 0.5kg difference in physical weight aside, the thing that I find heavier is the idea of carrying the larger 16" fully specified laptop about worth more than £4K in my bicycle pannier between meetings! 😧 Your review of the 16" M3-max (14/30) was really helpful in that respect.
You should test the package power throttling theory by super cooling the 14”. Get a large pan filled with ice and cover it with plastic. Set the 14” on that and let it get nice and cool. Then rerun the comparison and see if the 14” improves.
I owned the 14 inch M3 MacBook Pro with the M3 pro chip and returned it 2 1/2 hours later to a FedEx drop off point. I have never been so disappointed in an Apple laptop that I I can’t even express how disappointed I was ! I set it up completely, but once I started doing my regular content that I would usually do, it became painfully clear that I basically just bought a more expensive iPad Pro 😢. The screen looked exactly like my M1 12“ IPad Pro , totally not good enough for me. I’ll instead buy a Mac Studio instead.
Interesting. What kind of work do you do that made the 14in M3 pro chip MBP not worth it and was there anything else that was an added issue other than an unimpressive display compared to your M1 iPad pro? I'm genuinely curious and would love to know. I was thinking about getting this device originally but I decided to wait for the M4 pro chip model instead awhile ago.
@@fitzman7 hello I appreciate your response, honestly I don’t really do a lot of technical computing or photo editing and videos. I do have a RU-vid channel. I do make an edit videos so that is mainly what I use my computer for and it’s been a real asset to me with my iMac. However, now that I want to move forward and try to get a more powerful machine because it was an Intel iMac they released it I don’t know 2017? I guess in any event this MacBook that I received reminded me of my 12” digit iPad Pro with M1 and well for the $3000 that I paid for it. It should’ve acted and behaved better than that. I realize that I don’t know all the technical terms but I am definitely a tech junkie in Heart ❤️. Also I recently purchased the Apple Studio display to use with my iMac and it is gorgeous, I love it. I guess the Mac M2 Studio is my next purchase.
Same cpu and specs and see how 14 inch is beaten up at least %50 on exports. Apple should invest more on cooling R&D rather than making the CPU faster.
With hours of research, I’ve come to realize the 16 Inch is the most logical choice with the M3 Max chip. The assistants at the Apple Store were very adamant about pitching the M3 Max 14 inch to me. I even ordered the M3 Max 14 inch online and my payment was put on hold because I forgot to give my bank a heads up that I was going to be spending a lot more than usual that day. While I could have just returned the 14 inch if I didn’t like it; I’m grateful that I continued doing further research on these MacBook variations even after I ordered it because it’s possibly saved me a lot of time, money and energy. Even though I appreciate the size and feel of the 14 inch, I realized that not going with the 16 inch would be an atrocity considering the price I’m already paying and the performance I seek to achieve with this machine. I’d be playing myself! I’m used to experiencing a hot dry climate, so I can’t imagine having to possibly deal with annoying fan noise from the 14 inch over working itself, struggling to keep the MacBook cool and operating at a max capacity, which limits the boundaries in which the M3 Max chip was designed to perform. I will be getting the MacBook M3 Max 16 inch instead. Besides, I’m looking for a durable machine that can optimize my tech experience with plenty of screen space to not feel limited on the go. With a longer lasting battery and a cooler running system; I don’t mind dealing with the extra weight and space of the 16 inch. For me, that’s a sacrifice worth the confidence of optimum efficiency. My goal is to feel empowered enough to ditch my desktop should I feel obliged to do so and to have a machine that provides the freedom to explore other technological abilities should new endeavors spark my interest.
You guys have to get a quality control person to check the typos on your graphs. So often they don’t reflect what you’re saying, or things are swapped around the wrong way. Temp graph is a case in point.
Definitely happy I picked the 14-inch MacBook Pro M3 Max-it's just so much more portable. The 14-inch size is already a step up from my old M1 Air, and anything bigger like my old 15.6-inch Intel MacBook Pro from 2019 just kills the portability for me. If I ever need a bigger screen, I just hook it up to an external monitor. The 14 or 13-inch models are perfect for mobility; I can easily get work done in cafes or on train rides without any hassle. I never really hit any performance limits with real-life tasks; my CPUs hardly ever max out. This 14-inch M3 Max is like a small miracle of technology-a portable laptop that packs a serious punch. Plus, I can always switch it to low power mode when I'm on the move, and it becomes as quiet and efficient as a MacBook Air. Basically, the 14-inch MBP is a transformer: it's a MacBook Air when I want cool, quiet, and long battery life, and it turns into a beastly M3 Max when I need to power through heavy tasks that would drag on forever on an Air. When you go for the 16-inch, you lose this transformer ability. It just won’t fit in your sports bag or a typical backpack. How do you even bike around the city with a 16-inch? With the 14-inch, I can always have it with me and use any 15-minute break to chip away at my projects. I bet the 16-inch owners just end up leaving it at home. And if you consider a MacBook Air, sure, it stays cool and portable, but it starts to throttle under heavy loads because it doesn’t have a fan. And then there’s the 16-inch MacBook Pro Max-much heavier, bulkier, and a pain to carry around, especially if you put it in a protective case (which you have to, if you don’t want it to break). And what are you really gaining over the 14-inch? Just a bit of extra theoretical performance? Which, in real life, hardly makes a difference. The M3 Max 14-inch remains the most versatile option. You get high power when you need it, low power when you don’t, and you can always connect to a bigger screen at home. You get the best of both worlds-a powerful device that’s still super portable. (proofread with chatgpt for reader's pleasure)
I’ve been running the 14 inch hard with photo imports and processing for hours over the past three days, and I haven’t heard the fan kick in once. Plus, I’m getting about 9 hours of battery life on low power mode, which is incredible. For those worried about battery life while on the move, here’s a tip: just drop a power adapter or power bank into your backpack. It's still way more portable than lugging around a bigger laptop. This way, the size of your laptop doesn’t increase, but you still get all the power you need for extended use. Honestly, the 16-inch might offer a bit more battery theoretically, but if you're never going to carry it around because of its size, what's the point? That's exactly why I switched from the bulky 15.6-inch MacBook Pro to the 13.3-inch MacBook Air M1 initially. The Air was always with me because it was so easy to carry around. Now, the 14-inch MacBook Pro M4 Max offers the best of both worlds: it’s powerful enough to handle heavy tasks and still portable enough to take anywhere. It's perfect for anyone who needs the power of a Pro but wants the day-to-day convenience of an Air.
@@marceln2 i dont think this reviewer set the 14 inch on high power mode for his benchmarking. Its nice to ignore battery life and some heat if you want too for a while and have the machine not slow down much or at all... apple knew the speed of this thing would make for desktop use as well and a little fan noise or heat doesnt matter to 90% of us. Ill be using Blender and very complex After Effects projects... so ill be pushing it. Lastly he also chose codecs on purpose that apple does not have accelleration for to tax the machine. That is mostly never done in professional settings with video work... were using pro res etc etc... so the video tests were a bit weak i felt. I also know maybe 1% of us in the industry in LA or film and television work... even use anything 8k... overall this guy seems well meaning and i liked his presentation... but luckily MY research included multiple sources before i purchased.... i will not be surprised finding out the number of people pushing the 14 inch max on heavy workload tests and DONT KNOW that you need to MANUALLY OVERRIDE the auto setting to allow the 14 inch to throttle little to none.
Since the M1 generation I’m wondering why the Max wasn’t 16“ exclusive, as this doesn’t make sense to me in the 14“. The 14“ is much better suited for the Pro.
apple calculated that the TSMC N3B node would be better than it turned out, so now apple is in a precarious situation The MacBook Pro M3 has fewer transistors than the MacBook Pro M2, less bandwidth, fewer ports, worse fans, which causes problems with heat development so that the cpu throttles to name a few changes for the worse for the M3 chip externally, Apple made no changes to the MacBook Pro 2023 model when will my I mac get a major overhaul, the fact that this still uses a lightning cable for the accessories says something about how often apple updates its computers M2 Pro has 40 billion transistors, 200GB/s bandwidth M3 pro has 37 billion transistors 150GB/s of bandwidth Not the increase transistor density by about 33% compared to 5 nm TSMC states you should get "according to TSMC has stated that its 3 nm chips will reduce power consumption by 25-30% at the same speed, increase speed by 10-15% at the same amount of power and increase transistor density by about 33% compared to its previous 5 nm" but it didn't happen with the N3B node and it affected the M3 for TSMC N3B is not good but apple had no choice but to use this fuse.wikichip.org/news/7375/tsmc-n3-and-challenges-ahead/? The N3B node apple uses is far from fully developed so the TSMC N3B node is not much better than the M2 node which is based TSMC N5P even if apple wants the consumer to believe it and try to get customers to buy products based on TSMC N3B just because these are made on 3nm but an unfinished one with a bad prestandard That the N3B node had problems you could already see on the A17 pro chip, it doesn't come close to what TSMC states that the 3 nano meter node should be able to achieve neither in energy efficiency nor in performance and Apple's M3 chip is based on the A17 pro architecture Qualcomm Snapdragon 8cx Gen 4 which, according to tests, has the same or better capacity than Apple's M2 chip Qualcomm Snapdragon is based on TSMC N4 nodes which are now well proven and have good yield as it looks now, the TSMC N4 node is no worse than the TSMC N3B node so that Qualcomm's new Snapdragon uses TSMC N4 is logical apple jumped on the N3 node too early with the consequence that this performs worse than what a 3nm node should do according to TSMC and what apple hoped for TSMC N3B has a very bad yield rate of just 55%, far below the standard which makes this extremely expensive to manufacture now Apple only paying for qualified circuits TSMC pay the rest TSMC sees it as a development cost to get a working 3 nm production with a reasonable yield rate technode.com/2023/07/17/tsmcs-3nm-yield-rate-reportedly-just-55-with-apple-only-paying-for-qualified-circuits/ when TSMC has better control of 3nm manufacturing and better yield, which TSMC will probably get with the N3P node that TSMC expects to come out in 2024 i had waited until apple release the M4 chip before i had upgraded to a new apple MacBook Pro and kept my M1 M2 I MacBook Pro these are enough for 99% of all users there are too few advantages to upgrade to an M3 machine at the price apple wants I also attach a video that shows how greedy apple is if they want they can have replaceable SSDs see below ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yR7m4aUxHcM.htmlsi=HZGHGS-jb8HO4Trc I'll end with something funny ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eKm5-jUTRMM.htmlsi=2Q_M6PGGXMaCasZj ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Z5HkmZp-96k.htmlsi=GWaVlVPuySgO26LI
I have a 16" M1 Pro MBP. Not upgrading this cycle. But, for portability I am truly thinking about adding an M2 MacBook Air to my collection. My 2nd choice would probably be a used 14" M2 Pro MBP. One thing is obvious from your video though--and I realized this from Day 1--the 16" M3 Max MBP is the ideal machine this year...if money is not an issue though.
16GB RAM & 512 GB SSD 15" MacBook Air here. It's pretty stellar. Nothing really stresses it. I exchanged it from my initial purchase of the 8GB/256GB 13" because squinting, some swap at lower ram, and the slow SSD was annoying. Lots of sales make the spec upgrade more reasonable ($250-300 off at Best Buy and Amazon).
Very good video, great tests. Despite the performance difference I think that the 14’’ is a very good value . In many tests it is close to the 16’’. You have great power combined with great portability. One thing i find odd though is the result at 11:12. Shouldn’t this work be done by the hardware encoders? If yes there shouldn’t be such difference.
@ 13:05 “if you’re a gamer who will be playing games” I’m a gamer, but it’s MacOS so whether or not I will be playing games depends on the devs at this point
Really want the added portability on that one despite the performance flaws (which aren't always that noticeable from what I can see here). Sticking with the 14", can always hook it up to my Apple Studio Display for work where I need more screen real estate.
I bought an Macbook Pro 14 M3 Pro with only the 14-core GPU. I think I need a little more oomph for some games, but it actually performs fairly well overall. Nonetheless, I am not sure simply bumping it to an 18-core would be sufficient. I have been thinking about going to a 30-core GPU of the Max for gaming on this 14". The primary use case for my Mac is coding and other development work as well as general entertainment. I have a separate Windows PC for more dedicated gaming but wish I could use only Macs to do it all. We're not there yet, but performance is getting there. Anyway, I would love to see how the base model of the M3 Max chip performs on REAL world scenarios (as well as synthetics) for the 14".
*Hi is this the same spec you have 14" Apple M3 Max chip with 14‑core CPU, 30‑core GPU - 36GB - 1TB SSD? Can you please let me know how long will it take to render a 10min video on Final Cut Pro with 1080p resolution? Thank you.*
@@LucasCreativeTech ha, actually it wasn't terribly long after I made my post that I went searching and found your video on my own before I even saw your reply. Thanks for making it because it did indeed help me go ahead and make the purchase. I am waiting on delivery of the 30 GPU core now. Very helpful, thanks!
Still rocking a early 2011 15" MacBook Pro and still hasn't died! Thinking of upgrading to a M3 16" MacBook Pro but not sure what to get but really want to future proof it. Should I get the Max 48 or 64 core
can you please compare m3 max vs m3 max binned vs m3 pro vs m3 16gb(24gb)? would be good to see the difference in fan noise and temperature results along with battery life. Thanks
Just like I told you, I knew it, but other reviewers don't know or do this comparison, but you do the most thorough reviews of all, now can't wait for mine to arrive today. Thanks for the video
Considering the 14 m3max is being thermal throttled, how much better is it than the 14 m3pro? Would it still be worth the $400 if you were going you end up upgrading the m3pro to 36gig ram?
@@thedarksoul2104 so did I purchase that. NO - please not this reviewer did NOT test this fairly. He had the settings on AUTO which WILL throttle you some to save battery life. What he does not mention because this is a terribly misleading review is you can set it to HIGH POWER mode which is not the default... im sure this nerd never bothered to do anything but load his gadgets in and go.... thats AUTO mode - Apple is not perfect... but they gave us a very smart CHOICE to OVERRIDE the auto mode throttling (only at extreme workloads). His 16 inch review proves that in auto mode the 16 inch probably does not need to be set to high power mode... but the 14 on occasion.. does... but 99% of us professional 3d video VFX people dont care about a slightly warmer machine or a faster but still pretty quiet fan.
Would you guys compare the new Snapdragon X Elite chips to the new m3 chips. How will both these chips compare to the upcoming Intel and IBM chips and if everyone abandons the X86 what will happen to gaming.
You forgot the most important thing when making a decision.. the price. The price difference between the base model 14 and 16 inch M3 here in Australia is $1600! Which is just crazy!
he also misled you on performance... they are virtually identical... he forgot or neglected to set the 14 inch on high power mode which over rides the throttling issue... he could then say that the 14 inch ran warmer and fans sped faster.... BUT PERFORMANCE was great. He screwed up...
The 14" is always a "Pro-Chip" Machine , The 16" is always a "Max-Chip" Machine , 16" with a "Pro-Chip" is an overkill and 14" with a "Max-Chip" is a Performance Sacrifice But its good to have the option to choose which chip you want afterall 😅
he did not set the 14 inch properly for max performance... ignore this review it was on AUTO mode... not high performance mode. My lifes work is in video for TV and Film and met maybe one person that ever used 8k anything... sure...eventually i know.
Who's hating on the song 🤣 I like the old song... I feel like thermal testing can somewhat be misleading. As a car metaphor, let say that your max speed is 260mph but how often are you going that fast? Let's be honest here you are probably cruising most of the time but again, everyone is different. The question you should answer is do you a need bigger screen? longer battery life? go 16in. If not, 14in is just fine and portable. It will take about additional 2 mins to finish your task.
Thermal throttling will get worse with these more powerful chips. Fans will get louder and will work harder. Which is why I'm waiting for M3 Air. No fans. I'm expecting the M3 Air to thermal throttle like crazy, but the M3 chip will balance out the lag.
Wow, perfect example of clickbait. I don't need to run Cinebench for my work and I don't edit 8K video daily. So these tests are useless for me to ascertain whether or not the 16" or 14" is better. And a 10 second difference in Xcode? So what. The 14" is way smaller and easier to carry around in my opinion. And it packs a really good punch. I bought the 14" and I have yet to hear the fans and I run it on High Power all day.
@@bayramodeberdiyev3825 The Xcode test was invalid in my opinion because he did it after the computer was heated up. I got the Max because I needed more memory and storage and this is a 3 year investment. And it is significantly faster for my use case for app development.
Because more cores and higher freq mean that you will be over the load spike quick enough before any throttling. Considering amount of these laptops Apple sells, virtually none are used to render videos all day. For developer’s sort of usage they are more than enough. Ordered 16-core BTO 14”. M1 Max 16 was just way too big to carry around for clamshell use.
73.9 seconds on my 14"max 64Go 1T for the Xcode bench for me ! (+lots of things in the background ... i was working and been lazy to restart to do a proper clean test )
Could you do a test with the m3 max and an intel i9 with a 6800xt egpu ? I’m looking to upgrade but would like to know how much of a difference it will actually be. I use my MacBook Pro for video edit in davinci and like to use heavy color correction/grading and smart caching
