The deal is exclusive to the US and includes benefits for Amazon Prime members.
Apple has expanded High Power Mode to the new 14-inch MacBook Pro with the M3 Max chip, allowing the fans to run at higher speeds for improved performance during intensive workloads. However, a reviewer noted that the feature didn't make much of a difference in their tests, except for causing the fans to become very loud. High Power Mode can be enabled in the System Settings app on macOS Ventura and later.
The M3 Max chip, found in the high-end 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models, has been tested on Geekbench and shows performance on par with the M2 Ultra chip found in Mac Pro and high-end Mac Studio desktops. The M3 Max chip achieves impressive scores in both single-core and multi-core tests, surpassing its predecessor, the M2 Max, by 10% and 44% respectively. The M3 Max chip features 12 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores, with each core benefiting from architectural upgrades and a 3 nanometer process. The mid-range M3 Pro chip is expected to show less significant performance gains compared to the M2 Pro. Real-world performance increases and specific application timings are yet to be determined through reviews. The new MacBook Pros with M3 chips are available for order, with the high-end M3 Max models shipping later in November.
Early benchmark results for Apple's M3 Max chip in the new 16-inch MacBook Pro show that it is around as fast as the M2 Ultra chip. The M3 Max is approximately 45% faster than the previous-generation M2 Max chip. Manufactured with TSMC's 3nm process, the M3 Max features a 16-core CPU, up to a 40-core GPU, and up to 128GB of unified memory. The new MacBook Pro models are now available to order, with M3 Max configurations becoming available later in November.
