MacBook Pro 14" M3

Seriously impressive for the 20b model. Loaded on my 18GB M3 Pro MacBook Pro. ~30 tokens per second which is stupid fast compared to any other model I've used. Even Gemma 3 from Google is only around 17 TPS.

I've only tested it on my M3 Pro MacBook but it's not bad. At full speed (5 min = 1 game day) I've only hit performance issues when running my biggest NYC save with 200 stations and like 15 routes. Even then it runs at 70% of max speed, or 90% if you turn of the map layer showing population movement

Hopefully Apple will show Preview some love though. I can barely open 15k x 15k tif images on a M3 Pro MBP and cannot zoom in at all, while Steve Jobs was able to do the same at a keynote in 2009

I went from 4090 to ps5 pro and Mac book m3 pro.. cheaper and better experience on both ends for me

I have a very similar computer to you at home and I haven’t felt the need to upgrade yet for audio production reasons. Running pro tools and some pretty large mixes. Granted my m3 pro max computer at work is faster in sessions but not so much that I need to upgrade now. Maybe next year. Apple laptop

I bought a MacBook Pro M3 Pro in July (kinda bad timing but I’m fine with an M3 Pro). This was the first year I started playing with unique Mac apps for productivity and enhancing the MacOS experience. It’s been amazing so far… My favorites so far: Notchnook (love it, very useful. Needs to work some

I think price/hardware unit (CPU/ram/SSD) is actually lower, especially if we target premium models. Strictly speaking you have to spend more on absolute base, but then you get more hardware capacity. The same 3k now gives me double storage, 33% more ram, and faster chip (M3 pro Vs M5 pro) than the

MacBook é vida! Peguei meu primeiro ano passado (um m3 pro) e sendo uma pesso que assim como a maioria aqui trabalha usando muito o computador, não sei como não fiz isso antes. Simplesmente não sinto que to lhe dando com um computador convencional. Bagulho roda tudo bem e suave, sistema liso, redond

I had an m1 8gb MBP for work and M1 8GB for personal use. It worked great but the 8gb started to limit my workflow heavily as apple pushed out newer and newer updates. My workflow hadn't changed. End up with a MBP M3 16GB for work and MBP M4 16GB. Had I gotten a M1 with 16gb still be using it today.

As one of the developers for the fintech software it's definitely not the software lol. I had to profile it to see where the bottleneck was. An example, a build of one of our stacks takes ~20s on my M3 pro MacBook pro / 32gb ram. Doing the same build (the app is multi arch so amd64 on windows and ar
