That confuses me because shouldn't those people just get an M3? and then those who get the M3 Pro want better performance. I don't understand the 'pro' naming scheme means if they're not serious about making it pro.
- dagmx 3y agoWhat is Pro to you? I ask, because it can be a huge range of professional tasks and many won’t need the higher performance of the Max, but will benefit from the efficiency of the Pro. The Pro is still a significant jump over the base M3, both in performance and capability across every metric. It just happens to be a mid range SKU and for some reason people seem to think in binary high/low terms. I’d bet it’s the most common of the SKUs sold.
- JansjoFromIkea 3y agoIsn't it basically the same reason loads of things will have sizing options along the lines of medium/large/massive instead of small/medium/large. At this stage I'd say "Pro" in terms of Macbooks is is more likely to be for people who want something more powerful or a bit fancier than an Air than people who need something more powerful, so there needs to be another level above that
- rsynnott 3y ago"Why don't people get either a Celeron or an i9?" Every CPU lineup has an intermediate; Apple actually has fewer than most, and I'd expect they'll probably add one or two more SKUs as time passes to deal with binning more efficiently.
