Apple processors They have repeatedly demonstrated their incredible potential compared to the competition and previous versions of the company. And their efficiency is more than proven; No comparison tires the viewer. As for the launch of the MacBook Pro with the M3 chip a few weeks ago and Apple’s statements that its 8 GB of combined RAM is equivalent to 16 GB of regular RAM, there are already those who took the time to confirm this.

Test conducted by Max Yurvev from Max Tech YouTube channel Put the 14-inch 8GB MacBook Pro M3 to the test and etc. My 16GB MacBook.

They compare the MacBook Pro’s RAM memory with a 16 GB M3 chip and an 8 GB chip

As they say on the channel, The tests were run as single processes with nothing else running, but were also repeated with applications open in the background to simulate typical real-world multitasking scenarios.such as browser tabs, YouTube videos, spreadsheets, emails, and the like,

The process showed that As the 8GB became increasingly reliant on the SSD swap file, the performance gap between the two machines widened further.during overall responsiveness is affected. Additionally, crashes were reported on the 8GB model during Blender rendering and Final Cut export.

Meanwhile, Testing with a 16GB MacBook Pro with Blender ray tracing acceleration allows the same rendering workindicates that the reduced memory pool actually prevents GPU cores from using certain functions.

MacBook Pro M3 RAM memory test

During his conclusion, Yurvev touched on one of the most important decisions customers make when choosing the memory capacity of MacBooks. In this sense, Buying the 8GB MacBook Pro looks like it will limit the M3 chip’s performancebut choose 16GB or 24GB configuration options mean a higher investment, which isn’t as attractive considering the memory isn’t expandable due to unified memory architecture.

Apple introduced the new MacBook Pro with M3 chip at the “Scary Fast” event a few weeks ago. in spain, The price of MacBook Pro with M3 processor starts from 2029 Euros. The 14-inch model with M3 Pro starts at 2,359 euros, and the 16-inch model with M3 Max processor starts at 3,049 euros.
