For M1 owners, just wait for M3. It should be on TSMC 3nm which will be the next true node shrinkage.

- thathndude 4y agoPlease post more of this. I need an angel on my shoulder whispering. I have a 16" with the Max chip, and yet . . .
- Tagbert 4y agoDon’t worry there will be daily rumor stories posted here about the subject along with daily stories about how great recently announced X is. Your challenge is to sail between Scylla and Charybdis.
- swat535 4y agoI mean to be honest if you have a 16' M1 Max, there is no reason to upgrade for the next 2-3 years.. The performance improvements will be marginal at best and in any case, what good is a machine if you can't keep it more than a year? I just ordered my 16' Max and am not willing to upgrade for a while.. it's not even worth the wait for the M2 Max pros, since it will be basically the same specs and you'll have to wait more than a moth to get it anyway so why delay further? If you have cash to burn however, then I guess it doesn't matter..
- holtkam2 4y agoLol same here
- Aperocky 4y agoM1 owner but since 2020, so probably the among the longest users. I'm tempted. I also think 3nm is going to beset with production problems, I don't think it's coming around anytime near.
- april_22 4y agoI am reading that alot of users had issues with the 8gig model. If you have 8gigs, did you experience any perfomance issues?
- mediaman 4y agoI did - I believed all the '8 gig is fine' stuff at the beginning, and didn't like how much Apple charged for RAM. But for my work anyway it often starts having stuttering and slowness issues if I have too many things open. Otherwise it's quite fast.
- april_22 4y agohm okay so i will maybe get the 16 gig version better
- kirso 4y agoI have the 16 gig version since 2020. Overall its the best machine I have ever owned but even then, maybe in 10% of the cases when too many chrome tabs are opened, VSCode and a bunch of other apps are in, I can sometimes notice the slow down but its not super critical. I did have severe issues with Kernel Panics, the laptop would just blink a pink pixelated screen and restart but that has been fixed.
- Aperocky 4y agoI had 16g though. 8g would be horrible.
- jcmontx 4y agoYeah, I have the M1 2020 with 8gigs and 512ssd. I encounter some issues when I use it for development.
- rowanG077 4y agoI expect M2 pro/max/ultra to be on 3nm. TSMC projects first customer product to be shipping end of the year. That matches Apples update cycle and we know Apple always is the first one to snag the new nodes.
