Correction for one of the computer in the charts it is supposed to be 14MBP M3 8/10 16GB 512GB instead of 13MBP M3 8/10 16GB 512GB. It is a 14" MBP M3 not a 13" one. But you get the idea.

Art, thank you for all you do! I've watched all your comparison videos with the new M3 chips and I think this video in particular definitely will shape up my decision. For my workflow (schoolwork, media consumption, working on ad creatives/Shopify, light photo and video editing), would you say the base M3 Pro with 36GB/2TB be more than good enough for my use case?

Yes

@danmckee4988 6 месяцев назад

Again, great info for decision process on what MBP to purchase! During the Apple Scary event, they mentioned the GPU utilization with Dynamic Caching. What is your take on how that may effect LRC and PS performance if/when Adobe optimizes to take advantage of the GPU on the M3’s?

@ArtIsRight 6 месяцев назад

I would be interesting, that really just utilizes the memory, but the cores are already being used right now in the task. I don't think we'll see much by ways of improvements, may be, if anything, just a touch. But remember too that older machines that used to be really fast like the M1 Ultra is now a touch slower with the current OS and apps on the market.

Awesome job, and thanks for diving into M3 Pro! One thought... not sure how you would do it, but an annotation on memory pressure (green/yellow/red) for each run would be very interesting... clearly you can't test every RAM configuration, but knowing where paging/swapping kicked in would be helpful. But even without this it was great... thank you!

@paigeme886 6 месяцев назад

Thank you for your thorough comparisons. Recently discovered your channel and it’s fantastic. Just a note, from the description and at the start, I thought you were initially talking about the actual base/lowest spec and priced MacBook Pro 14” which doesn’t really have a pro chip and only has 8gb Ram. I know you wrote the cpu/ gpu specs but I didn’t even take note of them - just read ‘base’ and assumed you meant the 8gb Ram version. Perhaps it would be a good idea to write or say “not the m3 pro with 8 gb ram that costs $1599 usd”. I think some people may be completely unaware of all the different m3 machines & importance of all the specs- specifically the Ram.

Will this machine do ok with Adobe Premiere Pro? I was debating keeping it or upgrading to either: 14” Macbook Pro M3 Pro 11/14, 14” Macbook Pro M3 Pro 12/18, 14” Macbook Pro M3 Max 14/30 (all of these would be 36GB 1TB), Mac Studio M2 Max 12/30 64 GB Ram 2TB (same price as most of the macbooks due to no screen, keyboard, etc).

@ahenrycc84 6 месяцев назад

28:24 excellent analysis Art! I’ve been using the early-2015 base MacBook Pro for the past 8 years, but I think you’ve just convinced me to upgrade to the base 14” M3P MacBook Pro with 32GB ram and base storage (rather than the top spec M3P chip with 18GB ram). Question for you though: do you think the 4 extra GPU cores on the top spec M3P chip would make a bigger difference if you were to play more intensive AAA games (I plan to install virtual windows and install Windows compatible AAA games into it) compared to other base M3P chip?

Firstly, thank you Art! What a deeply considered, useful analysis and presentation. I’ll be getting the M3P 14” 36GB 1 TB. My question is about 11 vs. 12 cores vis a vis future-proofing: the difference doesn’t seem worthwhile now, but for those of us who want to keep this machine for 5+ years, might we see a more tangible benefit to 12 cores later? Or is the difference in speed for tasks likely to be essentially the same as now? (Also, will the fan be any more or less likely to kick on depending on number of cores?) Once again - huge thanks, and really appreciate your presentational ways and the kind intention with which you offer your work!

Idk my mbp now can barely run After Effects and that’s mainly why I want to upgrade and also SSD of course like 128gb is trash 😂 I can’t keep anything on it everything has to be kept in an external 🙃.

Which one do you think I should get when we take in account the additional screen size, bigger battery and cooling capabilities of 16" as well as the unbinned chip. The only that worries me is the 512GB SSD on 16", do you think that would cause a bottleneck effect since 1TB SSD's seem to be faster? Do you think that 512GB SSD would in any way hurt better performance on the 16" as opposed to 1TB on 14"? Difference in price is minimal, cca 150 USD Thank you in advance.

@ArtIsRight Месяц назад

choose the size that works best for what you need. never mind the SSD size to speed ratio, they are on par, and even if they are not, which they are, you'll be hard press to see any variation on the daily. 16 has bigger battery but then you are carrying that around as well. Better thermo sure, but the performance between 14 and 16 of the same SoC are identical. All SoC are binned, just how much, either way variation between the two is null at best. Like I said, I would choose the size that you need.

Amazing job what you did with your videos! Can you help me to decide please, if I should go with 14" M2 Max 12/38, 32GB, 2TB SSD or pay 300 extra for 14" M3 Pro 12/18, 36GB, 1TB SSD? Im doing mostly photo editing simultaneously in Lightroom and Photoshop for retouching (portraits, weddings, product photos), some music playing in background and Google chrome opened too. Im curious if I should go for newer generation for more battery life and less heat since its 14" size, or go for more powerful chip. Is it the same perfomance for my type of use? Or M2 Max will be more powerful? Because I would love to have less heat, less noise from the fans and better battery life but if its less power and better deal overall, I guess I would go with MAX. Thank you very much for your help!

@ArtIsRight Месяц назад

I would probably choose M2 Max in this case over the M3 Pro

Is it possible that the 16” screen has an effect on performance that makes the comparison not quite apples to apples (I.e., has a speed drain for the larger screen real estate?)

Incredible and comprehensive review I ever need after spending almost 2 weeks figuring out what to upgrade to!!! I'm using MBP 13" 2019 Corei5 and thinking about upgrading to M3 pro. However, I cannot decide whether I should pay extra $200 for 12/18 + 36Gb ram/ 512Gb or not. As a pro photographer who has to reach deadline as soon as possible and have watched this video, I think I will go for M3 pro 11/14 + 36Gb ram 1TB to use for 4-5 years and I think it will definitely pay of itself. Thank you so much, you literally save my day!

Yeah So I bought the m3 14" pro with 24 gb or Ram. I am moving from having a 15" air. I miss the form factor of the air and the size. the 14" feels small on my lap I find myself leaning in looking at it. The screen is beautiful but I'm struggling to adjust. That being said, I'm considering returning it and getting the base 16 MBP, my concern is going from 24 gb of ram to 18gb of ram, I do see my 14" get up to 20gb of used memory in the activity monitor some times. It seems like the CPU/GPU and SSD will all be quicker on the 16" m3pro but I'll lose 6gb of ram, Should I be worried about this? Or do you think I'll be ok with the 18gb of Ram if I make the switch? (I am mainly running lots of browser tabs, apps and Canva)

@tomdearie5165 6 месяцев назад

So I have a pro question I’d like to get your thoughts on: For those of us working with many high res images in Lightroom Classic, the most critical speed bottlenecks are the executional ones: e.g., instantaneous viewing of the high res image as you flip from one image to the next, followed probably by instantaneous execution of brush masking etc. These are operations that involve a lot of rapid back and forth interaction between the human and the machine. Exports and imports where the computer is working on its own are less of an issue, as we can organize our paperclips or argue with our spouses about the price of a new wildlife lens while the computer works. 😀 What would you say is the order of importance on which spec to ramp up for those interactive executional functions? Cheers and thanks. 👍

@mvp_kryptonite 6 месяцев назад

I would always choose making your time as efficient as possible, since the computer can do what it does while as you say, do something more constructive with your time. Whether that’s possible who knows, I think that’s where AI comes in. I’m a canon DPP user and beginning to use Lightroom, Photoshop and Premiere and the M series chips really do smoke the previous i5 MBP 2014 13 inch I used

@bladerealm124 6 месяцев назад

I'd also be curious to know how much the configs differ in this regard as this is where I noticed limitations on my 2020 M1 16gb the most. Using the clone stamp tool can be painfully slow on high res images. Click an area to remove a spec of dust, wait several seconds for it to clone out, click the next spec, wait several seconds, etc. Same thing with brushing/masking it can begin to lag significantly.

@bladerealm124 6 месяцев назад

@@mvp_kryptonitehe's saying these are the tasks where you wouldn't be doing anything else. You're just working on an image, you click the next image in lightroom, it takes a few seconds to render the full res, then click to zoom to 100%, wait several seconds for the image to re-render, then use the clone stamp tool, wait several seconds for it to clone, etc. If going from the Pro at ~$2700 to the Max at ~$3900 makes a significant difference in these tasks, it may be worth spending the extra money.

@tomdearie5165 6 месяцев назад

Yes. The key for my work is avoiding a delay when examining images (the pause between showing the preview and the full res image as I move from shot to shot) and avoiding the spinning ball when I’m inputting edits via mouse or tablet. I’m about to move from Intel to M series, and am looking to maximize the bang for the buck. In every other major platform change since the original Mac (yes, I’’ve been at this for that long), RAM has always been the first priority, with processing speed coming after. So far, the testing shows what I would expect: adequate head room in RAM and SSD storage are important in this iteration too. But I’d like to get the thoughts of someone who has had hands on experience testing the new platform to confirm. Cheers! T.

Would base model M3 Pro 14 inch be good enough for me? im a visual communication student currently and in next few years I hope to be working graphic related design works and some video editing for fun as a hobby for myself. Some blender 3D rendering for my own hobby as well? Im looking at base cpu gpu and 18 ram? Or should I upgrade and get 36 ram? Or get the 12/18 model.Also I currently own a legion 5 pro 16IRX8 4060gpu 32 ram 1 or 2 tb ssd,i9 13900HX. reason i want a macbook its because it will be my first macbook. Also after many reviews I think it is a good buy for its portability and performance for my needs, my legion is too heavy to carry for school all the time and the battery runs out fast I rather keep it at home as a work station

If you can save money on the M2 Pro which you can somewhat do that now. or even better yet get the 14 M2 Max from Costco for about 2K right now that is a great deal. But in general I would go with Pro SoC vs non Pro. And regarding M3 Pro vs M2 Pro, the variation is small, so If you can get a better spec M2 Pro, i.e. more memory/RAM, SSD then I would go with that

Next jump up 16” M3 Max Base model On your chart you show GOOD for LRC in the M3 pro where best or better would be the max WHY? what major differences are we gaining to go to the max for LRC? What is driving me crazy from seeing your tests the max base 16 inch is that much better in LRC versus the M3 pro 16 inch? What lets it warrant a Better vs Good in chart Could you please address those two Models versus each other what you gain speed wise to justify the jump in price to the base max in the 16 inch laptop?
