This just shows to me how big of a deal was M1 Pro. I have been using my M1 Pro since February of 2022 and I see absolutely 0 reasons to upgrade to anything above it, as a full-stack developer. It does 100% and more of what I need, it's as fast as the day I bought it, it has no problem running multiple Docker containers, npm, Laravel, multiple web browsers, terminal windows... I am planning to keep mine until it fails.

Is MetalRT used in any way in blender viewports or when playing with shaders or even painting textures or is it used just only for rendering? Same question additionally about Substance Painter if I may ask. Does Metal speedup working process in viewports in both apps? I'm deciding between M2 and M3 but I won't be rendering in any of those apps. I will assamble assets in Unreal Engine though... I guess Metal can be used for compiling shaders in UE etc.

3:29 I think the memory bus and memory bandwidth are two different things. Memory bus width is the number of lanes and the memory bandwidth is the speed. That highway analogy is awesome! The only difference I would suggest is that they have different speed limits, instead of lane difference. The lanes are actually more in M3 Pro, but the speed is slower. The data can be broken into smaller chunks and sent sooner in a multilane, but slower individual lanes, than few lanes but faster individual lanes, if that makes sense. Thanks for the video!

multitasking is not about just compiling in multiple threads - it is more about our daily usecase where we have opened tons of browser tabs and others processes.

Temps and fans for M1 Pro?

video wasn't in the link below

The M3 should have significantly better battery life in low power mode at comparatively better speeds. For those doing long days of simple work w/o a charger that’s a serious advantage and for those not needing the power you can also argue that lower power consumption would give you a bit more (long term) battery longevity (lower temp and fewer cycles)

if you're on a budget a used M1 Pro is absolutely a great value however if you're a power user to any capacity especially if your workflow is more CPU intensive, you notice and appreciate the gains with each iteration of apple silicon. I upgraded from M2 to M3 pro and M3 is considerably better. for me, apps like Xcode and figma open up a lot faster, code compilation is a lot faster, intelisense is a lot faster. Mind you, I came from a base M2 but that shouldn't matter as for my workflow, the base M2 was actually faster in a lot of cases than the M2 Pro for a lot of single core tasks. Id refer anyone to Alex Ziskinds vids on this this comparison.

Great video buddy, and completely agree that the M1 chip is still the way to go and save yourself the money
