So I purchased the base tier M3 Max Macbook Pro 2 weeks ago and love it, The thing is a beast and runs circles around my M1 Mac Mini, however, I was trying to gather info on the top Tier M3 Max (16 Core CPU, 40 Core GPU and 48GB System Memory) I have tried to find benchmarks but cant seem to find any that are comparing the 2 systems, I use Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator and now just recently started using Topaz Labs Video Ai and Photo AI which are very GPU and CPU intensive application.

I am trying to find out how much of a improvement will I see with the top tier M3 Max vs the Base M3 Max I just purchased, I know the increased memory is always a good thing but I'm not sure if the extra CPU and GPU cores will increase the rendering times, If its only going to be a few seconds then, of course, its not worth the $500 difference but if it can shave off a few minutes that it may be worth it especially since I dont upgrade my Macs very often.

Does anyone have any comparisons or know what improvements I will be looking at?

Thanks for any insight!
 
im sure you can find videos of the numbers you are seeking online and compare videos. ive got the 128gb/8tb 16 inch variant and it handles everything i throw at it without heating up or breaking a sweat. but seems yours does as well so... ;)

I have searched and there is nothing, Everything seems to be comparing the Pro to the Max, not the 2 different Max models.
