*The only advantage the unbinned version has is in gaming performance. 31% more frames.*

I would love to see more focus on the timeline experience in video editing. Davinci shows the number of frames that are displayed during playback - which could help bring the numbers to support the test. Exports are usually a "set and walk away" for most users, so render differences are not that important. Timeline experience is by far the most interesting one. It's great that you've touched briefly on it, but many of us would love to see even more on the topic. Also coming back to your other videos it would be great to see which config you'd pick as the optimal one for the 14". Personally, I like that form factor so much more than the chunky 16, but I wouldn't want to waste my money by getting a spec that is choked by the temps. Is there anything in particular that you could recommend to get the most performance out of the 14"?

328 vs 275 is quite a difference. Most electronic music production sessions are around a 100-to-130 tracks but extra cores will help with running more plugins so long as they're instantiated on their own respective tracks.

Hi! Pls do test with premiere and after effects with the m3 max. Thank you. Greetings from Perú

awesome testing

The Cinebench multicore 10 min throttling test, is that GPU heavy as well? Like, does the test utilize the GPU and the CPU together at 100% for the duration of the test? Or is the GPU completely idle during this test?

All the results were 20-25% better, but some benchmarks you said were like “waaay faster/bigger”, and some were “just 5 seconds”, as if the difference is smaller))

great video as usual! I missed the Xcode test! :)

Hi Instead of doing only rendering test in DCC Software, can you test the playback of a camera animation in the Blenderor Cinema 4D scene you’ve used in the demo ? When doing 3D graphics we don’t render all the time but much more move in scene, check animation deformers and such ?

Performance is an interesting subject. Sometimes it really matters and sometimes not really. It all comes down to time and if that time means money. What I mean is when working with video one has to really balance how much of a benefit saving a few minutes really is per project. We spend most of our time importing, organizing, cutting, grading and telling a story when we edit. Exporting typically represents a small portion of the overall time spent on a project. If a video takes 30 minutes to export vs 25 minutes that isn't really going to make or break the project. It's rare to need to save those extra couple of minutes. Obviously a tight deadline situation is a factor like putting together an edit at 4:00 for the 5:00 news. Thats not a common situation however and saving a minute isn't likely going to matter much for that deadline or a short form piece like that. Same for 3D rendering. If a long project is going to take 8 hours to render then only taking 7 hours isn't likely going to have a huge impact on the delivery of that project. In both cases one just lets it run overnight. More speed is always welcome of course but 3D impact darts to be measured more by 2x, 3x, 4x performance for real world benefits and not small incremental differences of 5% to 20%. I rarely max out the Mac computers anymore because they cost a premium and rarely have much real world impact on earning money and getting tasks done. It's more for bragging rights. Each new generation will end up being faster anyway. Thats why I get a more mid tier Mac and trade them in every 2-3 years while they still have decent trade in value.

Would you rather take the 14 core cpu with 96gb ram or the 16 core cpu with 64gb ram. I am an architect and mostly have to work with cad programs, 3d files, illustrator and renderings. Again a very nice video! thank you!

As backend software dev its the M3 Max 14 cores for me. I don't need the greatest graphics and a few seconds build/compile time difference doesn't matter that much. I also like to work on a wider screen so 14inch is out of the picture even though it will save me a bit. For game devs maybe investing in the 16cores M3 Max will benefit you in the long run. Thanks for the video.

Is the 14 or 16 inch? Perhaps it doesn't matter but I don't recall you saying.

Fantastic video! I really appreciate the thorough comparison you've provided. If possible, could you also include a comparison involving LLM(Large Language Models) generation and Stable Diffusion image creations? It would be incredibly helpful. Thank you!

What is loaded on the Logic tracks? Kontakt libraries? Serum? Any vst fx? Or just plain audio? Because that alone can make a huge difference. Being media composer on a budget it may seem the best option would be binned version and to spend the extra money on 96gb memory (useful for those orchestral behemoth VSTis). Yet since I don't know anything about what is on those tracks, the test is not as useful as it could be.

Please test the M3 max 14 cores vs M3 pro 12 cores on 14 inch, to see if the max still throttles or not and the M3 pro still is the best choice for 14 inch size. This could help many to decide which is the best configuration for their macbooks pro (many, me included, doesnt want something big like 16 inch mbp). Thanks !

@Frankie_G_ so any apple silicon chip is going to be great for strictly audio files only, but if you're also using multiple CPU hungry plugins eg synths like Diva or Synplant, or multiple instances of granular or convolution reverbs or advanced EQs, best to go with something Iike M2 pro or greater. If work a lot with large sample based libraries like say spitfire audio, you're going to need much more RAM as well, and at least a 'pro' chip. If you do all of the above like I do, at least a 'max' or 'ultra type chip is a must, a base 'M' chip will struggle with heavy workloads though it certainly can be done with some workarounds. Audio production is one of the things that demands a LOT of speed in the CPU, and higher single core speeds is better than slower multi-threaded ones - so M3 chips are absolute Godsends, as you can do TONS on the base chip alone. If you look at one of Max Tech's M3 videos you'll see that when they did the logic test it was the only time that they had heard the fans come on up to that point - audio processing needs a fast CPU, M3 and above are the answers to every producer and audio engineers dreams! Edit - the model I'm going with is a m3 max 14' with 64gb memory and 4tb of storage as I keep my sample libraries on the laptop for portability and so I can install a Metric tonne of plugins! Haha 😄

But it’s still correct that the 16 core is “better” for music production because cpu is always number 1 for that. Better becomes subjective when you know what plugins you are gonna use, also when you consider fan noise when recording live instruments or vocals close to your computer. Me personally I know by heart how much cpu my favorite plugins take up on my pc, I have it memorized because I use them so often. These machines are so expensive so I would just say if ur gonna get one go all out, if ur already gonna spend thousands, what’s one more for 2 extra cores, just do it. But I will also say never become the type of person to hoard plugins, there’s a million different plugins for each thing.

I may only use 10-50 tracks but, once I start adding multiple plugins/efx per track and need lower latency for live performance/tracking, you will likely start to find the limits of your hardware. It’s nice to give your system a little headroom especially if you plan on keeping this 5-10 years, especially as newer software releases become more demanding.

The better battery life is most likely due to lower clockspeeds, since it has more hardware to power it will run slightly slower and more efficient.

Hi Max about video editing: I'm not sure how many time lines there were in the FCPX. IMHO the best way to test the performance/stress of the Mac is: Using Davinci Resolve editing a 4+ timelines of 4K+ videos and then export to an H264/H265 final product -- the FPS at delivery and time estimate for the delivery shows how good your Mac is at video editing because IMO the exporting process stresses the computer the most - CPU-wise and GPU-wise.

Does Figma really use the laptops cpu? I bet it is just rendered on the servers. And the file itself is also probably streamed at different zoom levels. Probably the same export times on a macbook air.

I would love to see you compare 14 inches M3 16gb ram with M3 pro 18gb ram, what would be better

Guys, please do the 14" binned vs upgraded M3 Max! Especially with some Metal optimized games.

The $500 cost shouldn’t be of concern to professionals who understand how the cost will be amortized based on their utilization rate as a factor of projected usable lifespan (of the 16c/40c MBP M3 Max). It would be foolish for even a marginally successful contractor or business concern not to spend the additional $500!!

This just makes me excited for the M3 Ultra

eager to see what the will do with m3 max studio next year!!

Is it a 14-inch or 16-inch model?

I think Maxtech missed the point this time. Yes the speed difference is not that big. However apple understood that and only allowed 36 gb vs 96gb as the next upgrade. For people who need more ram, the 16 core option is better since for $500 it includes 2 extra P cores, 10 gpu cores, and 12 gb ram. Then you can upgrade to 64gb / 96 gb / 128 gb ram so people who want more upgrade options can get them. Also people like me use parallels for virtual windows desktop and requires at least 32 gb of ram dedication for any decent performance so 64 gb ram works the best.

Just curious what kind of workloads are you doing on Parallels? It sounds like you do heavy workflows (if you’re using a Max), and I’m wondering what the experience is like using Parallels for those kinds of SOC-intensive tasks.

I am also curious the type of workloads you are doing in parallels. My motivation is not to need two laptops. I am planning on getting 48gb, and using ~24gb for windows for several 'large' visual studio win form projects + iis + Sql server in parallels - two 4K monitors. Being unified memory on the mac, the 32 gb always looked a bit too small, and the 48GB seems about perfect for my needs (with IDE's, docker, adobe, etc.), i can shut down parallels when needing more ram for adobe.

Doing more medicine related ML / AI tasks like analyzing imaging. If you just bought the 36 gb model and you dedicated half or 18 gb to windows, any windows machine with 18 gb will stall heavily let alone running in parallels. Trust me 18 gb is not a smooth experience and if you want to future proof this huge investment you need higher ram as 32 gb ram will be the minimum is a few years

I only really need the binned Max model, but really need the 64gb of ram. The forced upgrading of the CPU to get 64gb irks me a bit as going to 96gb with the binned chip is more expensive than getting the full fat chip with 64gb.
