Really? Here are some screenshots from Geekbench of the M2 Ultra Mac Studio (not the Max) and the 16" M3 Max MacBook Pro.
The 16" M3 Max MacBook Pro beats the M2 Ultra Mac Studio in Single core easily while being able to match the M2 Ultra in multi core performance.
Calling the M3 Max not a significant leap in performance over the M2 Max is joke, when the M3 Max is basically beating the M2 Ultra.
Really, stop spreading BS information. The 16" M3 Max MacBook Pro destroys the M2 Max Mac Studio, it is not even close.

1) Ultra chip performance is a special case and not something that I have commented on, nor do I intend to.
2) The numbers I quoted (hence the italics and quotation marks) are simply what MR published. No doubt other entities have more accurate benchmarking. However they are just benchmarks, used in a limited way as an adjunct to decision making. So smallish inaccuracies from MR or whomever are IMO generally moot.
3) What I said was: "Personally I primarily look at GPU and single core, and I do not call 14% & 18% a
significant leap, I call it normal good evolution."
Is that what you call
BS? I did also quote MR's 38% multicore increase.
4) I will real-world be in the thick of that analysis after M3 Studios are released, i.e. should I replace my M2 MBP Max desktop setup with an M3 Studio or with an M2 Studio? If I ignore 3D it will come down to real-world price/performance comparisons,
not to M2 Max benchmark versus M3 Max benchmark comparisons as [IMO silly] benchmark afficionados seem to like focusing on.
Decision-making
today, [if I ignore 3D] based on extrapolating MBP M3 Max to [likely] M3 Studio, my expectation is that I would use the M3 pricing premium and put the extra $$ into an M2 Studio with maximum RAM. Folks like me who actually buy Max chip boxes IMO will long term [
if we ignore 3D] real world see more benefit from $800 more RAM than from M3 versus M2.
Apple is of course very likely to throw further hiccups into the analysis with M3 Studio. They always do.
No BS, just my experienced opinion.
