Today we'll set up a 4 way comparison between the M2 vs M3 MacBook Pro vs the M2 Pro vs M3 Pro MacBook Pro! Thats a lot of vs and I'm kinda confused now. Anyway, what happens when you compare some of the fastest chips Apple has to offer? Well, you'd think more tbh. The M3 Pro chip seems to optimized for one thing mainly: battery. So lets see how M2 Pro vs M3 Pro battery comparison as well as M2 vs M3 battery comparison looks! A lot to get into this time folks

The battery test was excellent. I like that you had a performance oriented and a general use RU-vid video oriented test. Most of my battery life is spent watching RU-vid videos since I let them play for long times in the background but obviously when you're doing important work you also don't want your battery to die really quickly I would like to know more about the battery health of the M2 laptops, and I also think it would be worth mentioning the brightness of the screen since doubling the refresh rate and increasing the maximum brightness may have impacted the battery life compared to the original M2 MacBook Pro.

@Vilverin 6 месяцев назад

@@Drae2212 Apple's battery life claims are mostly strategic. They want to make it seem like you're not compromising on battery when you go from M3 Pro to M3 Max, even though there will be a noticeable difference. The M3 Pro is very close to the M3 in terms of battery life (as this test showed, even with the 12C M3 Pro), while the M3 Max is worse than the M2 Max was according to other tests. Battery life really scales with the number of performance cores, that's just how it is.

@clementcardonnel3219 6 месяцев назад

@@Drae2212 Apple never advertises battery life for intensive tasks, their benchmarks are either playing a video for a long time or refreshing a few webpages. In that regard, there's not so much difference between M2 Pro and M3 Pro. I think Apple doesn't want the user to think that there'd be a big difference between an "intense" use case and a standard one. Because it would generate buyer anxiety: "is what I'm doing an intense task?", "how much battery will I, with my specific needs, will have?". Those are all valid questions, but Apple probably doesn't want to put a "3 hours maxed-out gaming" on their product page next to the current "18 hours watching Apple TV+".

@Comisionado 6 месяцев назад

Interesting question: How would M3 compare to M1 Pro? Also, is M3 Pro better than a chip like M1 Max?

@eric_white 6 месяцев назад

Yes, this!! Most people aren't upgrading their Macs yearly. Hell, before I bought my current M1 Max MBP in 2021, I was still using a 2015 MBP! While I understand the comparison to the last gen chip, that isn't the reality for the majority of the market. I would like to see a comparison between the last gen Intel MBP, an M1 Pro and M1 Max, and, sure, throw in M2 chips for giggles. I think the M3 generation is when a lot of people still holding on to their last Intel machines will make the switch.

@Randuski 6 месяцев назад

This is my biggest question. The only people who upgrade computers every year are RU-vid reviewers haha I have an m1pro, and while I don’t need an update, idk, I’m curious

@TheDocmadness 6 месяцев назад

I'm in on this vote too - M1 Pro MBP for me....and it does what I need it to do. But I also have the M2 Pro Mini (base binned chip). I have a feeling that we could see some good gains from M1 Pro to M3 Pro, but I want to say that I'm thinking that most of us who may be on the fence should wait until the new Pro Minis and the Studio get updated before we diving into paying Apple more money for a laptop. I think the Max chip is going to be a super beast and our money would be better spent on the Studio if we are looking at the graphical benefits to the M3.

@BallisticTip 6 месяцев назад

I don’t have stats - but I noticed a significant increase in compile times, and ended my day with about 60% on my m3 pro vs i averaged 20% on my m1 base, that could be due to increased render time resulting in less high power usage, not sure. Look forward to someone testing

Thanks Luke. You already have a ray tracing benchmark - Cinebench 2024 has been updated to use the new M3 hardware RT. You also already have another - the updated 3DMark (iOS) has Solar Bay which uses MetalRT just swipe to the far left. Be sure to run all these in full-screen/game mode & highest power. Congrats on finding the MetalRT option in Blender - most didn't. Beware Blender Benchmark as it doesn't use MetalRT yet.

@disklamer 6 месяцев назад

It would be interesting to see if there is any difference in performance - and fan action - when plugged in, with either a full battery or charging. Also how much does the brightness setting affect battery life?

@zachlyons 6 месяцев назад

I bought the base M3 Pro specifically because the tradeoffs they made with it suit my needs, but admittedly I'm probably less bothered by the same-as-M2-Pro performance because I'm coming from a base M1 Air. From where I'm sitting with the M1, I'll get a massive performance bump and still retain nearly the same (incredible) battery life; that plus a bit more RAM and better SSD speeds on the base 512GB model when compared to the M2 Pro makes it worth it for my workloads (high-res RAW photo editing, music production, occasional 4K video production).

What is also important to note is that some programs can only make use of performance cores, so the M3 Pro will have significantly worse performance. Audio DAW's like Logic Pro and Ableton only use performance cores, while Reaper can use all of them.

I code every day. A lot. Like most programmers, many tabs open, terminals, docker instances, etc. I am very disappointed in the M3 Pro. Originally bought a MBP M2 Pro due to chip architecture being superior with the entry model, but had to return due to sound issues and there were none left to exchange. My M1 Mac Mini I bought for $799 is outperforming my MBP M3 Pro ($1999). MBP M3 Pro is running the same code bases and has even less open and still does not perform as well. That modification of memory bandwidth is a real bottleneck for my workload. The performance cores is a cherry on top of another terrible decision. They're gouging their customers. Yes, the M1 (non Pro) is outperforming the M3 Pro..

Went ahead and bought the base model 16" M3 Pro (from M1 13" MacBook Pro) even though 16" M2 Pro units are discounted everywhere in my country. The slightly brighter display, significant energy efficiency factor plus ray tracing, mesh shaders, dynamic caching, 2GB extra ram, etc. will be taken advantage of in the future and I don't wanna miss out on that since I do game occasionally. But more so for the battery life, that was a huge deal for me. I'm very happy with it thus far. No regrets... ...well, maybe the weight and overall size of it but the size of the display is liberating. You win some, you lose some.

What are your specs on the M2 pro and M3 pro? My 14" M2 pro (16 gb ram, 512 gb ssd) doesn't get anywhere near the read/write speeds you show briefly towards the end of the video.

I think reviewers concentrate too much on high performance. It‘s also a pro workflow to do many things in parallel. If you have for example a lot of office apps and browser tabs open, and maybe watching a video at the same time, most of these tasks probably will run on the efficiency cores and I guess the M3 Pro will have significant advantages here in terms of effieciency. So I would say the 3 Pro is for parallel workflows, while the 3 Max is for max performance workflows.

I have an M2 Pro 16” and this video confirmed my thoughts when I first saw the core count. Basically no differences besides efficiency

Yes - I would very much like to see how CrossOver performs on the M3 - be aware v23 now has some degree of Metal support, so it would be good to test both the Metal and the Vulkan options (I get better fps in Metal, but it has some strange artifact bugs sometimes). I realize I probably wont get my game of choice, but FWIW, I'd like to see Guild Wars 2 in CrossOver on both the Metal and Vulkan modes!

Curious if there’s even a way to benchmark stable diffusion ML image generation? No one does this. But, if you do creative work this will or already is a thing.

Staying super happy with my M1 Pro MacBook Pro 14 (full spec CPU, 32 GB of RAM and 4TB SSD). Should serve well for years to come. *Just figured out I was not subscribed to the channel, while Luke consistently provides some of the best Mac hardware comparisons out there.👍 Fixed the omission.🤝

For a person who owns MacBook 16 Intel 2019 and heavily works in Final Cut Pro (it's "a bit" laggy) what do you guys recommend?

Is an M2 Max a better option to the M3 Pro…..? I’d like to see you do those test to find out. I was thinking of replacing my very very old MacBook Pro (over 10yrs old) with a new one but I want it to last for years but don’t use power hungry apps but need it to still be fully usable in 5yrs+ time, so I don’t need the power or cost of an M3 Max so was thinking a mid range M3 Pro, but after seeing this I’d thinking an M2 Max might be a better option. Your thoughts please….?

I jumped from the m1 base to the m3 pro 32gb 16inch, and I love the change. Today was my first full day using it for work, and left the day at about 60% when it is normally about at about 20% on the m1. Fantastic boost. I think the E cores verses the P cores was a great idea.

What are you using your machine for and I assume you went for 36GB RAM, where do you see most of your RAM being consumed. Regarding battery life, do you remember have well the battery held up when the M1 was new?

@kamranmirza5337 6 месяцев назад

Do you have the 11 core or 12 core m3 pro? I wonder if the the m3 pro with less cores has better battery life. And you mean the 14 inch MacBook Pro right?

@@kamranmirza5337 Yes, I moved from the 14 inch to the 16 inch m3 pro. I have the higher core count, and im not sure the difference between those two models as far as battery, I wouldn't think it would make more than a percent or two different, especially depending on load.

Luke, here’s a test request. Can you test a Mac studio with M2 ultra versus a maxed out M3 max I’m guessing 128 ram but whatever you’ve got. Need a production machine *now*and was waiting for the M3 to hit- look forward to your advice. thanks.

I am curious on the difference between performavce vs efficiency cores. Just the clock rate but essentuially the same logic/transistors/diodes inside? A "pro" model would be expected to be all performance with perhas one efficiency core for when machine is idle or used to type emails. Same with desktops. The limit on perofrmance may be due to thermal considerations to keep sound level low. But that means the machine needs to lose the "Pro" monicker.

Were there any differences in the Ram sizes in these machines?

Hi Luke, most of ppl that are going to switch are probably M1 users - testing these against M3 would be great 👍 thx for awesome content!

Hello. At the same price would you buy a Macbook Pro 14 with an M2 Max 32Gb Ram ou an M3 pro CPU 18Gb Ram? Thanks 😊

I think you should equalize screen brightness when running these sorts of tests. I don't know if you did, you didn't mention it. Seems like you might've been at max brigthness. But it could very well impact the performance of the M3 Pro battery.

@bsiah9073 6 месяцев назад

Awesome video, when you get the chance can you please add M1 into the list? Just wanted to see how they all compared in terms on performance and battery efficiency, all the silicone chips

@Alex-vp4ky 6 месяцев назад

8:25 This lines up with my early guesses that reduction in p cores but increase in e cores should result in battery gains. Yes performance obviously takes a hit, but the improvements made to the core speeds on top of 3nm and any other internal tweaks should mean that it drains less power in heavy tasks and that light tasks can be done quicker and thus return to idle faster and save battery.
