I've been waiting long to move from intel to apple silicon:
I skipped m2 because it was not a substantial improvement over m1
m3: Similar price to m3 pro with 16gb ram
m3 pro: no significant improvement over m2
m3 max: only chip with substantial improvement over m2 max
I need more ram for local LLM inference and maybe ios, vision os development but spending $800 for upgrading from 64 -> 128gb
but I can get 96gb upgrade for the base m3 max which just cost $100 more from the 64gb version but that sacrifices CPU, GPU cores
