Great video Oilur - All Max models (M1, M2 & M3) export twice as fast as the Pro models because the Max models have 2 Apple Media Engines vs 1 Apple Media Engine in the Pro models. The media engines haven't been changed over the last three years so M3 will export in a similar time to M1 as long as it's Pro vs Pro or Max vs Max. That doesn't explain the M1 Pro results in your video from 2 years ago but this is why your new M3 (Pro) is exporting at half the speed of your M1 (Max). Hope that helps :)
A Media Engine is a component within the processor itself that is responsible for handling decodes and encodes for your media tasks, because the silicon is especially designed to do it, rather than it solely being software supported, it ends up being much faster. The more media engine units you have on the processor, the faster the task can be completed, because having 2 would literally double processing capability. It more or less scales linearly with how many units you add. You can't add an infinite number because the processor needs to dedicate silicon to other important things like an input output (IO) unit to handle your usb or lightening connections or memory. Thats why the Max chips are physically larger, it's a bigger chip so that it can hold more silicon to do things faster, one of those things is to add a second media engine. Hope that helps@@ShadowRap-y5l

As someone who works in tech. I can say the reasoning others have stated for the issue you're experiencing has nothing to do with "memory bandwidth", rather it has to do with Apple's choice to reshuffle P (performance) and E (efficiency) cores this generation. In both previous generations of Apple silicon, both the Pro and the Max chips kept the same amount of CPU cores as well as P and E cores. For example the M1 Max and Pro chips both had 10 core CPU's with 8 P cores and 2 E cores. In the M3 generation however, they decreased the amount of P cores the Pro chip has and increased the amount of E cores to 6 P cores and 6 E cores meaning that your M1 Max actually has more performance cores. In addition to this the primary way to increase the speed of a GPU is to add more cores, meaning that since your M1 Max has more GPU cores, in most productivity tasks that dont take advantage of the new ray tracing and mesh shading technology, your M1 Max will be significantly faster than the M3 Pro. if you are looking for a substantial difference in performance the M3 Max will have far more GPU cores as well as 10 P cores and 4 E cores (16 total) on the top spec variant meaning it'll be a far faster chip in every way compared to your M1 Max.

Hi Oilur. This time apparently M3 Pro is completely different chip compared to its MAX variant. With M1/2 it used to be that the jump from Pro to MAX was mainly in terms of graphics performance, but not in CPU. Basically the CPU cores configuration was identical between the two tiers. With M3 on the other hand, Apple is approaching things in a different way. M3 Pro has 6P + 6E cores, while M3 Max has 12P cores and 4E cores. This makes a lot more sense in terms of segmentation for Apple, because the majority of users that didn't that much graphics power were buying only the Pro models. Now going with a MAX variant means you have gains in both CPU and GPU. In your workflow, Final Cut relies more on the performance cores. Coming from 8P cores to 6P cores, inevitably will have a performance hit. This video is a really good deep dive into the M3 architecture and would definitely be useful to have a look at: ruclips.net/video/8bf3ORrE5hQ/видео.html
This 100% boils down to the first generation was TOO good across the board. They had to artificially come up with ways to differenciate the models (ie. the nerfed / gimped the lowe models). So they "fixed" their mistake by making the pros worse than the max unlike the first time around with M1.
I agree with you on the memory. 8GB is not enough for a "Pro" device. 16GB should be standard. Having said that, my M2 Air with 8GB works just fine for the office work I use the machine for. I think the difference you're seeing is software specific and the software not being optimized for the M3 chip. Speed might improve as software catches up.
I believe your old scores comparing the M1 Pro and M1 Max models show little difference because you were using an older version of Final Cut Pro. Try comparing them again now and you’ll see the additional media engine in the max models have a stronger influence on video editing performance. This additional media engine in the M1 Mac is also why it performs better than the M3 pro in your use case. Hope this helps!
Is render time really the most important metric? Surely the smoothness of the actual editing process is key? Like which machine allows you to play back effects laden footage best without stuttering? Personally, I'd much rather be able to scrub the timeline and watch changes i've made in the best possible quality without it slowing to a crawl than worry about a few minutes extra/less in the final render.
I Love This Comment. This Video Seems To Just Be About Rendering Speeds Alone. I Believe As Well That How Smooth the Actual Editing, And How You Play Back Effects/ Footage Without Stuttering Is Key. I Personally Don't See Why You Downgraded From A Max Chip To A Pro Chip. I Think You Was Sold On The Color Alone. I Don't Have A Laptop So Getting The M3 Pro MacBook Pro Was A No Brainer ( My M1 Max Was Stolen ). IF I Still Had My M1 Max, I Wouldn't Dare Replace It With Anything Less Than The M3 Max Chip. You Have A Great Machine, You Didn't "Need" This. You Wanted To Test The Theory. IF You Want A Upgrade Get The M3 Max Chip. ( Period ) :D Look On The Bright Side, You Will Get Your Money Back. LOL. The M3 Pro MacBook Pro Is A Beast Of A Machine In Performance, Compared TO Any Competitors Besides The Max's Chips Which Honestly Is The Big Brother's ( FlagShip) . Anyone With A Max Chip, This MacBook Pro Is Not For You. Peace & Love -Sazon Pimp'n
M1 Max Has A 400GB BandWidth Vs The M3 Pro With A 150GB BandWidth. ( Even The M1 Pro Has 200GB Bandwidth). M1 Pro Might Have Faster Rendering Times But The M3 Pro Makes Up With Performance. I'll Take That Over A Few Minutes Faster In Rendering. Choosing Your Battles.
We have taxes in America too. Your same configuration in America is $3799 before taxes and $4122.86 after taxes. M3 Pro 14 12 CPU/18GPU, 36 GB of Ram and a 4TB HD.
If u already have a m1 or m2 chips, there is absolutely no reason to get m3 chip…now it’s a perfect time to get an Apple refurbished m1 or m2 on their refurbished store.
2:54 I'm curious as to why people prefer to box-y flat design with a notch on top? The old MacBook Pro/Air look like the newer models compares to these when shown to my family who's never used a Mac before.
Could be that it’s new and software isn’t optimised for it yet? I don’t know if that’s the case but it may be worth waiting? Same thing happened with M1 I believe
Don’t the M1 Max got more media engines? Also less performance cores right? The M1 Pro was really close to the M1 Max. They used to be both powerhouses, but now they differentiated them a bit more. So m3 maximum efficiency, m3 max maximum performance and m3 pro in the middle rather than it leaning towards the power side like the M1 Pro did.
@@bjarkarsson you can play baldurs gate 3 on a mac these days..And with the m3 pro it's definitely possible with respectable frame rates. Nowadays the debate over owning a Mac and not being a gamer is outdated tbh..
That definitely RAM, bandwidth is different significantly. It might be the case that software also not fully optimised to the new algorithm of allocating memory to GPU. It might get better overtime, but I doubt
The US have taxes in most states too. It's just that they don't put it in the sticker price. The tax is added at checkout. Whereas in the UK it's mandatory to include it in the sticker price.
Whilst you say you are "returning" the MacBook Pro, are ordinary people allowed to send their MacBooks back if they aren't happy with them? Is that a return reason Apple accept? Or are we stuck with them once purchased unless there is an accepted fault?
9min vs 16mins export times (i.e. twice as fast) is due to twice the number of media engines (what used to be called afterburner cards in the Mac Pro, pre M Chips), It is not the memory bandwidth, The media engines are built into the Chip (SOC) M Pro has 1, M Max has 2 and M Ultra have 4, regardless of the whether they are M1, M2 or M3 chips, the Media engines only provide support for specific codex (H264, ProRes etc) when video editing and exporting, the only difference with the M3 media engines are they include AV1 decode support and 8k decode over the M1s 4k decode limit, otherwise they are very similar. I have an M1 Max MBP and a M2 Ultra Macstudio. The M2 Ultra is exactly twice as fast as the M1 Max for video work, regardless of CPU or GPU cores, frequency, or memory bandwith, there is a little more to this subject, but I am sure you do not want to read two more paragraghs on the issue, but in principle I hope this helps.
M1 max has double the media engine encoders (Two video encode engines Two ProRes encode and decode engines) compared to single in M1/2/3 pros. Probably that's why.
Also memory bandwidth. All the generations use the very same DDR5 6400 memory. So coming from 400 GB/s to 150 GB/s will help this. But why are him expecting better results with an inferior chip? He saved money on the CPU and spent in storaging hoping that the performance increase from the newer models would cover...
You are comparing apples (!) with oranges, as already pointed out in one comment, in the Max you have 2 media encoders, in the Pro you have one media encoder. So yes, the M1 Max will be faster for video works then the M3 Pro. The way is to switch to M3 Max if you are depending on video performance.
I figured it out!!! As a RUclipsr with the same workflow I purchased the 14inch M3 Max model FULLY SPEC’d out……I experienced the same in my workflows with Premier Pro and Final Cut!!! The 14inch Starts Throttling and getting really hot and the performance because of it takes a massive hit! Even the fans spin up like crazy….i returned the 14 inch m3 max and grabbed the 16inch M3 Max and OMG THE PERFORMANCE difference is insane!!!! The heat signature is way lower in every aspect….it doesn’t heat up even close to the temperatures of the 14inch I had…..performance is groundbreaking and so is the battery life…..I know you love the form factor and so did I but the 16inch is the way to go….you won’t experience any throttling and you will see the massive performance leap you’re looking for MaxTech also did a 14vs16” m3 max comparison with this and it backs up and shows everything I just mentioned. Hope this helps everyone😊
Thank you for the wonderful wallpapers. When I bought my first MacBook Pro, I was reading a lot of reviews. I fell in love with the reviews and wallpapers, so I bought it. Thank you so much and I look forward to more great content.
You should consider the m4 max, i think the difference is now substantial enough to warrant the upgrade. Better chip, better battery life, more ram for the same price, brighter display and three times the transfer speeds with thunderbolt 5. Definitely get the m4 max this time around tho, then you'll finally be able to have that space black
If you just need more storage, you can get 3k read/write speeds from the SanDisk Pro-G40. 4TB of ultra fast storage for under $400. No need to buy a new machine just for storage.
You should have gone from the M1 Max to M3 Max. The M3 Pro is not the work horse it wants to be. The M3 Max is finally a better CPU than the M3 Pro whereas the M1/M2 Pro and Max Chips had the exact same CPU setup.
Aspect ratio is taller unlike some windows laptop which have a standard 16:9 aspect ratio. Essentially you get more vertical space in apps and webpages when browsing.
it could be because mot the things you've used haven't been optimized apple did say this upgrade was for interl USERS and m1 users not any of the pro or max chips machines
Just Josh did a videos on this recently. He explains the memory bandwidth changes that Apple has made is the reason for this. Memory bandwidth has been downgraded heavily in all but the M3 Max full spec model. Highly suggest you check it out!
@@Oliur I'm pretty sure the M3 Pro has 150GB/s memory bandwidth, which is less than half of the 400GB/s on your M1 Max. This might explain why the M3 Pro is worse for you workflow.
I just got mine the other day and I’m going to use it the first time with my work trip today. I upgraded from a MacBook Air 2017. Do you guys think I got a right buy? I’m using it for work heavy on web browsing and web meetings. I also would use it for video editing as well as some graphic designing from time to time. Any opinions if I made the right decision? Or should I just return it?
I am debating on Macbook Pro with M3 chip (8-core CPU 10-core GPU 16GB Unified Memory 1TB SSD Storage¹) and Macbook Pro with M3 pro chip (11-core CPU 14-core GPU 18GB Unified Memory 512GB SSD Storage¹) . I will use the laptop for video editing for client works and content editing for myself on Adobe Premier Pro and After Effects. Which one should I choose? Should I go with the higher ram and the pro chip? Or will it give me a headache to move files all the time due to 512ssd?
for m3, you will need to get the max chip to access the higher memory bandwidth of the ram. the m3 pro chip has less ram memory bandwidth than your m1 pro chip.
Mx Pro chips have slower encoders and decoders, that's the sole reason why any generation Max chip will be always faster the Pro chip in rendering h.264
Love the vid oliur. The M3 MAX definitely seems like it’s more the spec for you, I know your reason with going for the pro over the max, but with the M2 and M3 chips, Apple has given much more of a GPU advantage to the MAX chips
Does the lid stick to its top case once you open it in the morning making a sticky sound, for example, as it was on previous 14 inch macs? It makes some noise and i'm currently having the second one which is m1 pro, does it make some light sound (not related to the previous question) when adjusting the screen (opening) move back and forward and it makes a little click sound, does it happen on the 3rd gen (m3 pro)?
Great video! I'm currently using a 2020 M1 Air with 8GB of RAM as my main editing workstation, but as my skills and workload increase, it's starting to struggle, especially when editing 4K RAW footage from my Fujifilm XT4, color grading, and adding heavy effects. I also use Lightroom. I'm considering an upgrade and would love your suggestion. Should I opt for the latest M3 Max for future-proofing, or would a second-hand model suffice?
The M3 Max would certainly last you a very long time if you can afford it. The 14-core M3 Max would be good. However, if video is primarily what you do and have a tight budget then would like at refurbished M1 Max or M2 Max.
Could be due to specific video effects and settings. It would be good to confirm with video project with basic video effects and then add further effects. Also, I would try Davinci Resolve just in case, use the same video content as input and add same/similar effects and benchmark... In the end, this could just be to softweare optimization of M3 CPU/GPU...
Check, listen to this dude here abcve, effects, different extensions, codec, resolutions, it all has it's downside and will effect the rendering time and workflow. Use handbrake, stick to resolution and use ProRes codec and it should work fine.
Throttling with the 14 inch happens more with the heat compared to the 16 inch to. Look up performance videos on it between 14 and 16 inch plus memory bandwidth .
I did the tests and its like .2-.3Ghz throttle on the 14" Max 14/30 and only if you pushing the CPU 100% for at least 60 sec. Honestly I cant find any workflow that can get the CPU to hit 40% so I never hear fans or throttle. it's most likely not as big a deal as people making it out to be. Most of the apps I use push the GPU to 100% and those dont run that hot
@@LucasCreativeTech Thanks for the reply. I use Final Cut Pro and those export and rendering times from what I've seen can take long, over the 60 seconds no problem. Thanks.
Just amazing how many people cant seem to watch the video properly. If i had to guess the issue I would go with Final Cut needing to be updated. I think you should keep this laptop personally.
I can't explain the difference, but memory bus width and speed could be involved? In my case I do music not video, and after going through many many tests of DAW performance on the different generations, I have just bought a refurbished 2022 M1 Max Studio with 64GB RAM and 1 TB SSD (used with external TB4 4TB drives, NAS and maybe iSCSI) - and it is fast. I have moved from Windows and it will run Cubase reliably with much lower latency than an i7 12700K/64GB/6TB machine, and with more consistent results. The M2 Studio Max tests slower on my applications. There isn't an M3 Studio yet, but when there is I am not convinced I could get the same or better performance or similar spec for anything near the amount I paid. CBA says satisfy the need and not more, and I think this machine will do me nicely for a few years...
You should've read the spec instructions from Apple about their products. As they are listed on the page clearly, the M serials of Macbook Max machines have double media engines than the Pro serials, is that simple.
Regarding base M3, I think a lot of people forget that Apple isn’t just marketing to individual consumers but make a lot of sales to companies/businesses etc. who buy bulk units for employees. The M3 8gb model makes much more sense for these kind of businesses who want to get a slightly cheaper model to supply to mass amounts of staff who aren’t necessarily doing anything performance intensive
Apple is counting on the #1 upgraded item on these macbook's, memory which will $ubstantially bolster their bottom line. I'll eat out a few times less this year and go MAX!
🙄 I'm not an Apple specialist either, but there's quite a buzz about the lowered memory bandwidth of the M3 Pro. The real question is, who can actually conduct a proper test on that? While everyone is pointing towards memory bandwidth as the culprit, there's still a lack of concrete proof.
thank you so much for posting this! I've been teetering on getting an M1 max (new) because M3 is such a crazy price tag, thanks for helping me make an important decision for my video editing needs!
I agree to a previous comment I read on here. It's the memory bandwidth. On the M1 Max it's something like 300. On the M3 Pro I think it's half that amount. Don't blame you one bit for returning that M3 Pro.
@@Oliur The M1 Pro memory bandwidth is: 200gb/sec. The M1 Max's bandwidth is: 400gb/sec. The M3 Pro's bandwidth is: 150gb/sec. So the M3 Pro has half the memory bandwidth of the M1 Max....which would help explain your results that you found on testing your laptops. So I definitely agree with the other person who posted the same opinion...it's the memory bandwidth.
This is what I'm looking for, a youtuber who really put their efforts to be as a user in the first place and then give the review after. Not some "just-bought" one and tell Us some fake shit.
The reason that the M3 Pro is way slower is because of the way lower memory bandwidth (150 compared to 400GB). The M3 Pro also only has 1 ProRes Engine. If you are doing video stuff as your main workflow, any of the Max chips are better than any of the Pro chips. Same argument for the base chips vs the Pro chips. M1 Pro > M4 (correct me if I am wrong about this)
Yes. I just get my m3 pro also. And i think i will wait until there's an explanation about M3pro works especially while works with polyline and enlarging pixels at the same time. I feel that lagging problem in that situation. There're no problem for me on anotheeperformances.

Media engines aren’t the difference here. As stated in the video, M1 Pro rendered as fast as M1 Max.
@@Oliur were u using Final Cut Pro or not ? I find it hard to believe it’s because of memory bandwidth
@@Oliur Then the parent comment explanation doesn't make much sense since M1 Pro has 200GB/s and M1 Max has 400GB/s memory bandwidth
Hi Oilur. This time apparently M3 Pro is completely different chip compared to its MAX variant. With M1/2 it used to be that the jump from Pro to MAX was mainly in terms of graphics performance, but not in CPU. Basically the CPU cores configuration was identical between the two tiers. With M3 on the other hand, Apple is approaching things in a different way. M3 Pro has 6P + 6E cores, while M3 Max has 12P cores and 4E cores. This makes a lot more sense in terms of segmentation for Apple, because the majority of users that didn't that much graphics power were buying only the Pro models. Now going with a MAX variant means you have gains in both CPU and GPU.
In your workflow, Final Cut relies more on the performance cores. Coming from 8P cores to 6P cores, inevitably will have a performance hit.
This video is a really good deep dive into the M3 architecture and would definitely be useful to have a look at: ruclips.net/video/8bf3ORrE5hQ/видео.html
Interesting! Thanks for the explanation
This 100% boils down to the first generation was TOO good across the board. They had to artificially come up with ways to differenciate the models (ie. the nerfed / gimped the lowe models). So they "fixed" their mistake by making the pros worse than the max unlike the first time around with M1.
Gutted you’ve had to return as you were so excited for the new version!
I agree with you on the memory. 8GB is not enough for a "Pro" device. 16GB should be standard. Having said that, my M2 Air with 8GB works just fine for the office work I use the machine for. I think the difference you're seeing is software specific and the software not being optimized for the M3 chip. Speed might improve as software catches up.
Apple says it's enough. So, some random RUclips reviewer, yeah right.
@@tonyburzio4107 Oh it's enough big boy, it's more than enough!

My 14” M1 Max is still flying through my workflows. I don’t expect I’ll need to upgrade for some years yet.
I believe your old scores comparing the M1 Pro and M1 Max models show little difference because you were using an older version of Final Cut Pro. Try comparing them again now and you’ll see the additional media engine in the max models have a stronger influence on video editing performance. This additional media engine in the M1 Mac is also why it performs better than the M3 pro in your use case. Hope this helps!
Is render time really the most important metric? Surely the smoothness of the actual editing process is key? Like which machine allows you to play back effects laden footage best without stuttering? Personally, I'd much rather be able to scrub the timeline and watch changes i've made in the best possible quality without it slowing to a crawl than worry about a few minutes extra/less in the final render.
Oh yeah the editing process works great already. No stuttering when scrubbing or editing.
I Love This Comment. This Video Seems To Just Be About Rendering Speeds Alone. I Believe As Well That How Smooth the Actual Editing, And How You Play Back Effects/ Footage Without Stuttering Is Key. I Personally Don't See Why You Downgraded From A Max Chip To A Pro Chip. I Think You Was Sold On The Color Alone. I Don't Have A Laptop So Getting The M3 Pro MacBook Pro Was A No Brainer ( My M1 Max Was Stolen ). IF I Still Had My M1 Max, I Wouldn't Dare Replace It With Anything Less Than The M3 Max Chip. You Have A Great Machine, You Didn't "Need" This. You Wanted To Test The Theory. IF You Want A Upgrade Get The M3 Max Chip. ( Period ) :D Look On The Bright Side, You Will Get Your Money Back. LOL. The M3 Pro MacBook Pro Is A Beast Of A Machine In Performance, Compared TO Any Competitors Besides The Max's Chips Which Honestly Is The Big Brother's ( FlagShip) . Anyone With A Max Chip, This MacBook Pro Is Not For You. Peace & Love -Sazon Pimp'n
M1 Max Has A 400GB BandWidth Vs The M3 Pro With A 150GB BandWidth. ( Even The M1 Pro Has 200GB Bandwidth). M1 Pro Might Have Faster Rendering Times But The M3 Pro Makes Up With Performance. I'll Take That Over A Few Minutes Faster In Rendering. Choosing Your Battles.

Great video comparing the new pros. For me as a video editor, this helped a lot and have decided to pull the trigger on the m3 max. New sub!
I'm just wondering... why do you wear 2 watches?
I think it is because your M1 Max has two special rendering cores and the Pro has only one. This was the case with M1 and also M3.
Yeah. basically. unless he's comparing a max to a max, it's not going to beat it.
This thing’s outer shell might not collect as many fingerprints, but the keyboard is an absolute fingerprint magnet
Final cut pro is not yet optimised for the m3 chips
If u already have a m1 or m2 chips, there is absolutely no reason to get m3 chip…now it’s a perfect time to get an Apple refurbished m1 or m2 on their refurbished store.
2:54 I'm curious as to why people prefer to box-y flat design with a notch on top? The old MacBook Pro/Air look like the newer models compares to these when shown to my family who's never used a Mac before.
the "air" model is Soooooooo old. i got sick of it for sure. I love the newer one
Could be that it’s new and software isn’t optimised for it yet? I don’t know if that’s the case but it may be worth waiting? Same thing happened with M1 I believe
That is correct. The first AAA game using the new hardware comes out on December 20th.
Don’t the M1 Max got more media engines? Also less performance cores right? The M1 Pro was really close to the M1 Max. They used to be both powerhouses, but now they differentiated them a bit more. So m3 maximum efficiency, m3 max maximum performance and m3 pro in the middle rather than it leaning towards the power side like the M1 Pro did.
Off topic but man your jumpers are clean, where are they from.
I am happy with my m3 pro. It's my first macbook pro so I have nothing to compare it to other than my 4090 htpc and 3080 pc..

@@bjarkarsson you can play baldurs gate 3 on a mac these days..And with the m3 pro it's definitely possible with respectable frame rates. Nowadays the debate over owning a Mac and not being a gamer is outdated tbh..
That definitely RAM, bandwidth is different significantly.
It might be the case that software also not fully optimised to the new algorithm of allocating memory to GPU. It might get better overtime, but I doubt
So what would you recommend? 14" 1tb 36gb ram M3 pro or 16" 1tb 36gb ram M3 Max for web dev or programming in general?
M3 Max 36gb all the way
With M3 Max you're good for the next 5 years.
thanks
The US have taxes in most states too. It's just that they don't put it in the sticker price. The tax is added at checkout. Whereas in the UK it's mandatory to include it in the sticker price.
Whilst you say you are "returning" the MacBook Pro, are ordinary people allowed to send their MacBooks back if they aren't happy with them?
Is that a return reason Apple accept? Or are we stuck with them once purchased unless there is an accepted fault?
Of course. I bought mine like any regular customer. They have a 14 day return policy if you’re not happy with the product.
9min vs 16mins export times (i.e. twice as fast) is due to twice the number of media engines (what used to be called afterburner cards in the Mac Pro, pre M Chips), It is not the memory bandwidth, The media engines are built into the Chip (SOC) M Pro has 1, M Max has 2 and M Ultra have 4, regardless of the whether they are M1, M2 or M3 chips, the Media engines only provide support for specific codex (H264, ProRes etc) when video editing and exporting, the only difference with the M3 media engines are they include AV1 decode support and 8k decode over the M1s 4k decode limit, otherwise they are very similar. I have an M1 Max MBP and a M2 Ultra Macstudio. The M2 Ultra is exactly twice as fast as the M1 Max for video work, regardless of CPU or GPU cores, frequency, or memory bandwith, there is a little more to this subject, but I am sure you do not want to read two more paragraghs on the issue, but in principle I hope this helps.
What about the fact that the M1 Pro is as fast? As I mentioned in the video.
How will m3 pro ???
Any more RayCast codes?
great video, thanks : I assume you reviewed this with Apple?
Completely agree on the silly costs from Apple to upgrade ram and storage. Very good review.
M1 max has double the media engine encoders (Two video encode engines
Two ProRes encode and decode engines) compared to single in M1/2/3 pros. Probably that's why.
Don’t think you watched the video. M1 Pro rendered videos as fast as my M1 Max, which I shared in the video.
Also memory bandwidth. All the generations use the very same DDR5 6400 memory. So coming from 400 GB/s to 150 GB/s will help this. But why are him expecting better results with an inferior chip? He saved money on the CPU and spent in storaging hoping that the performance increase from the newer models would cover...
you don't need apple specialist. I can explain in two words : Media engines bro
The more reason i barely pay attention to benchmark results these days. They don't really translate real world usage scenarios.
I have a 2016 MacBook pro and want to know if I should upgrade.
You are comparing apples (!) with oranges, as already pointed out in one comment, in the Max you have 2 media encoders, in the Pro you have one media encoder. So yes, the M1 Max will be faster for video works then the M3 Pro. The way is to switch to M3 Max if you are depending on video performance.
You might get better results once Apple releases the new 10.7 FCP update.
I figured it out!!! As a RUclipsr with the same workflow I purchased the 14inch M3 Max model FULLY SPEC’d out……I experienced the same in my workflows with Premier Pro and Final Cut!!!
The 14inch Starts Throttling and getting really hot and the performance because of it takes a massive hit! Even the fans spin up like crazy….i returned the 14 inch m3 max and grabbed the 16inch M3 Max and OMG THE PERFORMANCE difference is insane!!!!
The heat signature is way lower in every aspect….it doesn’t heat up even close to the temperatures of the 14inch I had…..performance is groundbreaking and so is the battery life…..I know you love the form factor and so did I but the 16inch is the way to go….you won’t experience any throttling and you will see the massive performance leap you’re looking for
MaxTech also did a 14vs16” m3 max comparison with this and it backs up and shows everything I just mentioned.
Hope this helps everyone😊
For anyone pushing the machine 16” is definitely the way to go for its better performance vas 14” of same spec.
maan, your video colour is gorgeous, thanks for it, m3pro 14in amazing, love love love, it was highly enjoyable to watch your review
Never heard of raycast. Any codes left?
Great video as always! Just wondering why you’re wearing two watches? 🙃
Did you have your Battery's energy mode set to High power? High power enables higher performance.
As others have pointed out, I believe it is the double amount of media encoder/decoders in all max vs pro models
Thank you for the wonderful wallpapers. When I bought my first MacBook Pro, I was reading a lot of reviews. I fell in love with the reviews and wallpapers, so I bought it. Thank you so much and I look forward to more great content.
the dark layers are a wonderful set of wallpapers for my mac as well.
It’s the memory bandwidth it even shows it on the website from Apple it’s literally half unless you get the max
What Mic did you use to record this video? Sounds great!
You should consider the m4 max, i think the difference is now substantial enough to warrant the upgrade. Better chip, better battery life, more ram for the same price, brighter display and three times the transfer speeds with thunderbolt 5. Definitely get the m4 max this time around tho, then you'll finally be able to have that space black
I can’t place the video I watched regarding the M3 review. but apparently some popular software are not yet optimised for the M3 chips
Possible problems (imho): 1) FCPX not yet optimised for M3, 2) much less memory bandwidth: M1 Max = 400GB/s, M3 Pro = 150 GB/s
If you just need more storage, you can get 3k read/write speeds from the SanDisk Pro-G40. 4TB of ultra fast storage for under $400. No need to buy a new machine just for storage.

Aspect ratio is taller unlike some windows laptop which have a standard 16:9 aspect ratio. Essentially you get more vertical space in apps and webpages when browsing.
@ananthakrishnanp163 thanks. Ditched the Mac went back to windows
it could be because mot the things you've used haven't been optimized apple did say this upgrade was for interl USERS and m1 users not any of the pro or max chips machines
M1 max has 400 gb bandwidth vs M3 pro’s 150 gb and the M3 Max is 300 gb bandwidth so would this make a difference??
Just Josh did a videos on this recently. He explains the memory bandwidth changes that Apple has made is the reason for this. Memory bandwidth has been downgraded heavily in all but the M3 Max full spec model. Highly suggest you check it out!
M1 Pro chip bandwidth is 200GB/s. Not far off M3 Pro and half of M1 Max.
@@Oliur I'm pretty sure the M3 Pro has 150GB/s memory bandwidth, which is less than half of the 400GB/s on your M1 Max. This might explain why the M3 Pro is worse for you workflow.
Have you used handbrake? How is it encoding h265/HEVC compare to other macs? I use the CPUS because that preserves quality unlike videotoolbox

Is it possible that Apple hasn't optimized FCPX for the M3 series?
Nope FCP is from Apple and they will definitely up[date their software.
Why are you returning it?
Oli, do I take it performance while editing using the M3pro was fine? Also, do you work with background rendering turned off or on?
I am debating on Macbook Pro with M3 chip (8-core CPU
10-core GPU
16GB Unified Memory
1TB SSD Storage¹)
and
Macbook Pro with M3 pro chip (11-core CPU

18GB Unified Memory

I will use the laptop for video editing for client works and content editing for myself on Adobe Premier Pro and After Effects. Which one should I choose? Should I go with the higher ram and the pro chip? Or will it give me a headache to move files all the time due to 512ssd?
for m3, you will need to get the max chip to access the higher memory bandwidth of the ram. the m3 pro chip has less ram memory bandwidth than your m1 pro chip.

Mx Pro chips have slower encoders and decoders, that's the sole reason why any generation Max chip will be always faster the Pro chip in rendering h.264
Love the vid oliur. The M3 MAX definitely seems like it’s more the spec for you, I know your reason with going for the pro over the max, but with the M2 and M3 chips, Apple has given much more of a GPU advantage to the MAX chips
@@samnectar yeah I know that what im saying is then for his workflow he'd probably have to go for the MAX for that extra GPU performance
Does the lid stick to its top case once you open it in the morning making a sticky sound, for example, as it was on previous 14 inch macs? It makes some noise and i'm currently having the second one which is m1 pro, does it make some light sound (not related to the previous question) when adjusting the screen (opening) move back and forward and it makes a little click sound, does it happen on the 3rd gen (m3 pro)?
Probably it’s because of the optimisation is not readily available for M3 chips (?)

Great video! I'm currently using a 2020 M1 Air with 8GB of RAM as my main editing workstation, but as my skills and workload increase, it's starting to struggle, especially when editing 4K RAW footage from my Fujifilm XT4, color grading, and adding heavy effects. I also use Lightroom. I'm considering an upgrade and would love your suggestion. Should I opt for the latest M3 Max for future-proofing, or would a second-hand model suffice?
The M3 Max would certainly last you a very long time if you can afford it. The 14-core M3 Max would be good. However, if video is primarily what you do and have a tight budget then would like at refurbished M1 Max or M2 Max.
Could be due to specific video effects and settings. It would be good to confirm with video project with basic video effects and then add further effects. Also, I would try Davinci Resolve just in case, use the same video content as input and add same/similar effects and benchmark... In the end, this could just be to softweare optimization of M3 CPU/GPU...
Check, listen to this dude here abcve, effects, different extensions, codec, resolutions, it all has it's downside and will effect the rendering time and workflow. Use handbrake, stick to resolution and use ProRes codec and it should work fine.

Throttling with the 14 inch happens more with the heat compared to the 16 inch to. Look up performance videos on it between 14 and 16 inch plus memory bandwidth .
I did the tests and its like .2-.3Ghz throttle on the 14" Max 14/30 and only if you pushing the CPU 100% for at least 60 sec. Honestly I cant find any workflow that can get the CPU to hit 40% so I never hear fans or throttle. it's most likely not as big a deal as people making it out to be. Most of the apps I use push the GPU to 100% and those dont run that hot
@@LucasCreativeTech Thanks for the reply. I use Final Cut Pro and those export and rendering times from what I've seen can take long, over the 60 seconds no problem. Thanks.

Right! Thank you for actually watching the video Martin. It proves 90% of the comments wrong.
I can't explain the difference, but memory bus width and speed could be involved? In my case I do music not video, and after going through many many tests of DAW performance on the different generations, I have just bought a refurbished 2022 M1 Max Studio with 64GB RAM and 1 TB SSD (used with external TB4 4TB drives, NAS and maybe iSCSI) - and it is fast. I have moved from Windows and it will run Cubase reliably with much lower latency than an i7 12700K/64GB/6TB machine, and with more consistent results. The M2 Studio Max tests slower on my applications. There isn't an M3 Studio yet, but when there is I am not convinced I could get the same or better performance or similar spec for anything near the amount I paid. CBA says satisfy the need and not more, and I think this machine will do me nicely for a few years...
Your app is not optimized for M3 Pro chip. It'll be faster with app update eventually
i think it's the unified memory speeds, 150Gb/Sec compared to 400Gb/Sec
You should've read the spec instructions from Apple about their products. As they are listed on the page clearly, the M serials of Macbook Max machines have double media engines than the Pro serials, is that simple.
How does that explain the M1 Pro being as fast as the M1 Max?
Regarding base M3, I think a lot of people forget that Apple isn’t just marketing to individual consumers but make a lot of sales to companies/businesses etc. who buy bulk units for employees. The M3 8gb model makes much more sense for these kind of businesses who want to get a slightly cheaper model to supply to mass amounts of staff who aren’t necessarily doing anything performance intensive
The issue is the price of that 8gb is what doesn't make sense. 😆
Do any of the prices make sense! @@arvi8843

🙄 I'm not an Apple specialist either, but there's quite a buzz about the lowered memory bandwidth of the M3 Pro. The real question is, who can actually conduct a proper test on that? While everyone is pointing towards memory bandwidth as the culprit, there's still a lack of concrete proof.

I still can't believe you went for Pro after Max. Maybe you expected 1% increase in performance?
@justjosh's video on the memory bandwidth limitation is the explanation. Please have a look
I agree to a previous comment I read on here. It's the memory bandwidth. On the M1 Max it's something like 300. On the M3 Pro I think it's half that amount. Don't blame you one bit for returning that M3 Pro.
What about the M1 Pro comparison?
@@Oliur The M1 Pro memory bandwidth is: 200gb/sec. The M1 Max's bandwidth is: 400gb/sec. The M3 Pro's bandwidth is: 150gb/sec.

So I definitely agree with the other person who posted the same opinion...it's the memory bandwidth.
@@rpgcreatives3683 How does that explain the M1 Pro being as fast as the M1 Max, as shown in the video?
This is what I'm looking for, a youtuber who really put their efforts to be as a user in the first place and then give the review after. Not some "just-bought" one and tell Us some fake shit.
The reason that the M3 Pro is way slower is because of the way lower memory bandwidth (150 compared to 400GB). The M3 Pro also only has 1 ProRes Engine. If you are doing video stuff as your main workflow, any of the Max chips are better than any of the Pro chips. Same argument for the base chips vs the Pro chips. M1 Pro > M4 (correct me if I am wrong about this)
My M1 iPad Pro is still kicking ass. Apple is 3 generations overpowered each time the release a new machine and SOC.
Yes. I just get my m3 pro also. And i think i will wait until there's an explanation about M3pro works especially while works with polyline and enlarging pixels at the same time. I feel that lagging problem in that situation. There're no problem for me on anotheeperformances.
