For anyone who upgraded from a M1 iMac to M3 iMac, I am wondering whether you noticed any significant increase in performance. I have a M1 iMac now, no video editing or anything stressful, so I am assuming I would not see much, if any, difference. Current configuration is 16GB, 1TB. Would upgrade to 24GB, stay with 1TB storage.

Thank you.

I watched a lot of you tube reviews (i know to funny) and almost all of them did not recommend an upgrade from a M1. Hold your horses till at least the next cycle of iMac, in my opinion.... My first iMac was a 2007 which I kept till 2015, do not chase the upgrade and enjoy what you have.
 
I have a M1 Mini 16BG / 256 and a M2 Pro Mini 16GB 512 and honestly just doing office work some light 2D CAD work I really can't tell a whole lot of difference. They share a Dell S2721QS 4K display.
