      No problem at all! Happy you like it! I’m using the Small rig RC120B as my primary Key light then I’m using a pretty large parabolic soft box with a honey come mesh for direction. Camera wise I’m using a Sony A7IV shooting 10 bit 422 in slog 3. Lens is a Sony Gmaster 35mm f1.4 prime lens. There’s a couple other small variables to make the setup work but those are the primary tools. Of course there’s then a color grade ontop of the footage as well.

    I think the reason for the releasing two chips in the same year is because Mac revenue dropped 34% year over year and they put this out as a course correction. The fact is the only SOC selling well is the M1 line and the M1 chip is so good a lot of people cannot justify spending $2,000 to get a M3 chip minus crappy specs. I have a M1 Air and it's the best computer I've ever owned. You have a great M2 machine and I think you'll be into it for years to come.

      I 100% agree that that’s the reason and that’s why I get into that concept when I recommend what I think should happen to add value to the silicon releases. If we all knew M2 was releasing next year and had been enjoying M1 for the last 3 years I think there would be more demand and the M2 chips would be much better as well. Idk. Apple has been blowing their load and they need to slow down in order for consumers to desire a new product when it hits the market.

      Microsoft is moving its products to ARM based platforms. Why? Because it thinks that is the future. If it begins developing all new products natively for ARM, then it will be making a mistake that is very expensive to recover from.
      You're obviously unaware that software only performs well when it runs in native mode. A translation layer causes software designed and written to run on the Intel/AMD processors to run slowly or to not function properly on ARM CPUs.

      ARM is specialized, and what some of the PC-based companies are doing is going to ARM, RISC-V and the main power machines will still utilize x86 with RISC-V architecture for specific encodings.

    The reason for two Mac this year is because usually Apple releases MacBook in 3rd quarter somewhere around October. Last year for the M2's they had distribution issues resulting in a delay to early this year 2023. So the M2's are the one's that had a usual release date and now Apple hopefully is back on schedule.

    The M3 was big for 2 groups of people. 3D professionals waiting for Apple to finally support hardware accelerated raytracing (not available on the M2) and those on PC looking to change. For those already on an M1 or M2 and only doing video editing, this wasn't for you. Agian, this is NOT the same chip as the M2 if you are a 3D creative. It's a segment Apple has ignored for the last decade and are now trying to win back.

Intel just launched the Intel Core Ultra chips and Qualcomm's Snapdragon X Elite ARM chip is about to debut in laptops maybe as soon as CES 2024 next week. From all early accounts the Qualcomm chip is besting the M2 in bother performance and efficiency (though TBD on that). Apple couldn't allow themselves to be bested after planting the flag of efficiency superiority in just the 2nd generation of the M series along with dipping sales. Being a 3D artist, I've been waiting for the return of the Mac for a decade so this was a very welcomed upgrade for that side of the creative community.

    I think Apple wanted to release the M2 4-5 months sooner than they were able, because of production issues. I'm glad they didn't artificially wait with the M3 just to put distance between releases. They had the new 3 nm ready; put them out there. I disagree that there isn't much difference in the M2 and M3. Certain tests that I've seen on UA-cam show a major difference, and the base M3 gives the M2 Pro a run for its money, which is impressive in less than a year; the M3 Max is right on par with the M1 Ultra.
    I bought an M2 Pro-Pro in May, and I also felt the pangs of envy, but I have a great laptop, and you can't keep up.
    I think we should all be glad that Apple is pushing new chips out so quickly. We are not going to see a jump like the M1 was over Intel, with every new generation of chips, but the ump from the original M1 to M2 and now M3 is pretty impressive. The gains in GPU performance is nothing short of amazing. They will push the Nvidia chips pretty hard in the next few years.

    First let me say, if you pick-up any new Apple computer from a retail Apple store and within 30-days (1-month) a newer model comes out (even though it is after the standard no questions asked the 2-week return policy) they will take it back. In addition, if it has been between 30-days to 60-days (2-months), if you make a fuss and order a new model on the spot most time they will also accept it as a return. It is when your new system is only 3-months old when, you really get screwed!
    It would have been better for Apple, Inc. to release as follows: M-1/2/3 and M-1/2/3 Pro chips then within the next 12-months release M-1/2/3 Max and M-1/2/3 Ultra chips. However, your three (3)-year upgrade cycle makes a lot of since for me when it comes to the Mac OS. Where, a new Mac OS would be released only once every three (3) -year period (smile...smile).

    I see a lot of video editors complain about render times not being faster. I know some people are not into specs but I do stress that consumers need to learn about the way Apple Silicon works and use system monitoring software to actually see what's going on with apps and CPU/GPU usage. Some apps uses only performance cores. Some use both performance and efficiency cores. Apple change the configurations of performance and efficiency cores in base M3pro = less performance cores vs previous gen. This year the base Pros are not as good as previous gen.
    If you use hardware accelerated video encoders or Neural engine, M1 to M3 basically uses same encoders and engines. So renders with minimal effects are almost the same on M1 to M3 ( pros have one hardware encoder, Max got 2 ).
    The big difference is in GPU, hardware accelerated raytracing and more cores for the Max. That means big boost for 3d and GPU/Ai apps, Games.
    Audio apps are having same issues. Software not yet optimized. Very frustrating not knowing what apps works well with the variations of Apple Silicon.

    The M2 came out later than originally planned, and Apple bought all of TMSC’s 3nm chip production, so they couldn't let chips pile up for months just to create an artificial gap - that would have been very expensive. When you have the opportunity to release computers running technologies no other company has access to, you do it when it's ready. The M1 and M2 were already so good, most people using those shouldn't upgrade unless they need to jump up to the M3 Max. Apple is trying to reach the masses who haven't upgraded and it should help their holiday quarter sales, their most important quarter. Sometimes the business demands override other considerations.

    I mean, the short answer to your concern is that you're not expected to buy a new laptop every year or two. The incremental upgrades are for the people in the market at the time they are released, not people who just recently upgraded. I'm not even an Apple guy, but I feel like I need to defend their annual release cadence. Also the M3 got some pretty serious graphics improvements.

      To be honest. I don’t really have a gripe with it. Just gotta be dramatic for the UA-cam clicks. As a fan of Apple I would always love for their reveals to be massive amazing theatrical events where the products are super anticipated and exciting. The annual release makes sense for the business. The M3 is pretty awesome.

    Cool video and some interesting thoughts! I think a new Mac every two or three years is too long. Some folks will buy the new fully specced out MBP every year no matter what. Also, for those that skip 1 cycle they will have to wait 4 or more years for a new Mac. Personally im fine with a new Mac release every year even though I probably won't buy a new one every year.

      That’s completely fair. I’d revise my thought then to be specifically targeting major chip releases. The M2 was essentially just an M1 mark 2. I guess I’d prefer them to be more contained.

    Your whole point of the video is that Apple releases new chips too soon but we don’t do that for you or anyone to get a new laptop every year. I mean, you can, and we thank you for it. But you don’t need to. You should have your own upgrade cycle regardless of how often Apple upgrades devices.

      And everyone will. I did say I think it would be valuable to share holders to have a larger hype cycle for the chips which would more than likely lead to more demand for them. Less people buy laptops as frequently as iPhones but it seems like Apple is trying to make sales numbers of laptops come closer to the phones. By throwing out new chips every other quarter they’re trying to create demand and boost sales. I think they should step back and focus on quality over quantity.

    Absolutely right. This story can't be told often enough. You don't always need the latest and greatest. I'm not sure if this means that Apple shouldn't release new Macs every year, but apparently there will always be people that _absolutely must_ have the latest model, just for prestige. And that's bad, that's just producing more e-waste and push the exploitation of our planet. So in the end, I have to agree, even though this means that if I need a new Mac just before a new line of Macs is released, I'd have to get a two years old machine. But personally, I'd always go for a refurbished one anyway.

Also, a few days before the release of the M3 lineup, Qualcomm was touting “better processors than Apple” 😅 and that was obviously short-lived.
