By Celcius Go To PostIs MeteorLake / ArrowLake still going to use the Big + Little core architecture?yes
Too bad this tech wasn't around 3 years ago, kind of feels like they missed the train. I'd definitely use one for work tho. In fact, I might get one.
I use the same primary monitor for both work and play, so I am the target audience for this. OLED still isn't quite there for me.
What would be the best mobo and ram to pair with a 7800x3D? Will be used mainly for gaming and UE5 dev stuff.
Wifi welcome, but optional. No other particular features are required. B650 chipset will do just fine, unless X670 makes sense.
I'm very much out of the cpu/mobo/ram game at the moment, asking for a buddy.

Actually, scratch that. Dev stuff? Might be worth trying to find a motherboard that supports actual ECC (and reports it back to the OS!) and as much ECC RAM as they can afford. Speed probably doesn't matter as much for this. ASRock might have something, but it will take research to find one that actually does report ECC errors.
I don't think he's quite that serious about it to warrant going the ECC route. He definitely wants 64gb tho.
What's the sweet spot currently for DDR5 and Ryzen 7000 in terms of speed?

With that said, the memory speed isn't nearly as important with the X3D chips. I wouldn't spend a lot more money to get a 6000 stick instead of some really large 5600 sticks or something similar. For what it's worth, the max supported speed is 5200.
Oh, stick with two sticks if at all possible. You will likely need to slow the memory speed drastically with four sticks.
Alright. Will be looking at 2x32gb DDR5600 - 6000.
EDIT:
Something like this would do nicely, I think.

By MBP M3 14in. reviewAs for battery life, this laptop refuses to die on me. (Which makes my life difficult when trying to do battery rundown tests.) With the display at 300 nits, adaptive brightness disabled, and all battery-saving options turned off, I got between 12 and 14 hours of constant use every day. Admittedly, 300 nits is bright (I like things bright), and you’ll get a few hours more at the more typical 200 nits for average usage.Now now my dear 2018 15" i7, don't cry, don't cry
By Zabojnik Go To PostAlright. Will be looking at 2x32gb DDR5600 - 6000.Should have mentioned this the other day, but there are also 48GB sticks, if they want 96GB of memory.

By reilo Go To PostNow now my dear 2018 15" i7, don't cry, don't cryRISC SoC portable devices are wonderful.
FYI, I bought an Intel ARC GPU yesterday from Micro Center for my home NAS because it is slot powered, supports AV1 encoding, single slot (I think), and was only $110. Might be a couple more weeks before I do anything with it as I need to do some case modification to let my HDD drive bays fit properly (it has some little tabs that stick out that I either need to bend flat or remove).
By Kibner Go To PostShould have mentioned this the other day, but there are also 48GB sticks, if they want 96GB of memory.Yeah, I was reminded of that while browsing PCPartsPicker. I think he's good with 64gigs, but I'll mention it, thanks.
By reilo Go To PostNow now my dear 2018 15" i7, don't cry, don't cryI’ve got a 2012 MBP that can’t last 30 minutes off a charger. It’s being retired this month, I can’t stand that fucking thing anymore
By JesalR Go To PostI’ve got a 2012 MBP that can’t last 30 minutes off a charger. It’s being retired this month, I can’t stand that fucking thing anymoreYea, I think I'm gonna bite the bullet with the new M3 chips. Kibner convinced me to run a VM for all my work shit.
By reilo Go To PostYea, I think I'm gonna bite the bullet with the new M3 chips. Kibner convinced me to run a VM for all my work shit.I think the only thing that bums me out is that the drop to 3nm doesn’t seem to have had as big a change as you’d hope. CPU and GPU perf seem to scale with core counts, I would have expected more of an architectural change.
Can’t decide between the M3 Pro or Max either. I know they’re just benchmarks, but the Pro seems like such a sidegrade compared. Though the Max hurts battery way more

Given that you're upgrading from a 2012 (!) you should not be concerning yourself with any of this lol. Get the M3 Pro.

You’re fully right, there’s just something that weirdly annoys me
By JesalR Go To PostTheyHatedHimBecauseHeToldTheTruth.jpegIf it does bother you enough you may want to wait another week for some more of the benchmarks to come out.
You’re fully right, there’s just something that weirdly annoys me
EDIT:
So while the M3 Pro is manufactured with TSMC's 3nm process, compared to 5nm for the M2 Pro, the chip's resulting performance gains are diminished due to it having two fewer performance cores. The M3 Pro also has 25% less memory bandwidth and one fewer GPU core compared to the M2 Pro.This is probably why.
By limiting the M3 Pro's number of high-performance cores, Apple has created more differentiation between the M3 Pro and the M3 Max, which has up to 12 high-performance cores. However, as a result, the M3 Pro is only marginally faster than the M2 Pro.
On the other hand, if you are the type of person to use a laptop for 10 years like you appear to be.. I think i'd go with the M3 Max.
Just don't get 8GB of RAM.

By diehard Go To PostOn the other hand, if you are the type of person to use a laptop for 10 years like you appear to be.. I think i'd go with the M3 Max.You can't configure the M3 Max MBPs for less than 36GB

Oh i was meaning don't get the M3 Pro with 8GB but i was confusing it with the base M3. 18GB is the minimum on the Pro. $3200 starting price for the Max yeah i'd prob just get the Pro also.
If you guys want to save some money, it might be worth waiting a couple months and checking the Apple Refurb store. Might could save you $200-300 and you still get the standard Apple warranty + eligible for Apple Care + having an even lower chance of getting a lemon.
My wife has an Employee Program discount but unfortunately the 16" MBP is excluded from any discounts.

Yeah, Apple in the US and Canada don’t check your student status. Would have grabbed one in Canada, but they don’t do Britiish keyboards
There's a 16" M2 Max with 1TB / 32GB at Microcenter I can get today for same price as the M3 Pro spec I was looking at. Might do that instead.
By reilo Go To PostThere's a 16" M2 Max with 1TB / 32GB at Microcenter I can get today for same price as the M3 Pro spec I was looking at. Might do that instead.I don't even know if you would really be missing anything from doing that, tbh. I guess slightly worse battery life but better performance? Don't know what else is different.
By Kibner Go To PostI don't even know if you would really be missing anything from doing that, tbh. I guess slightly worse battery life but better performance? Don't know what else is different.According to Apple's own estimates, they both get 22 hours of battery life: https://www.apple.com/mac/compare/?modelList=MacBook-Pro-16-M2,MacBook-Pro-16-M3,MacBook-Pro-14-M3
Btw, you should have support for more external monitors with the Max vs the Pro, so that’s a small benefit with going for the last gen machine at the same price, too.
By reilo Go To PostGood to know! Decided to go with the M2 Max, picking it up today.Awesome! I think you'll be really happy with it!
Goddamn, these new MBPs are hefty bitches. Definitely a throwback design to a decade ago, but phew Jonny Ive is turning in his grave.
This... is mindblowing. Thanks to Kibner for recommending UTM (https://mac.getutm.app/) I was able to setup a VM of macOS 14 within .... minutes? It took longer to download the macOS image than it did to set it up.
But the most, crazy, unbelievable thing? The VM feels native and the performance is amazing to boot. This will allow me to run my work stuff inside the VM in isolation while running everything on a single laptop with performance that's seemingly 10x of my old Intel MBP running essentially two OS simultaneously.
I don't know what to say.

Anyone ever get stuff from Lofree (https://www.lofree.co/)? Quality good?
