Lightroom never consumed more than 6GB of RAM when I applied the same heavy color grading, tone mapping and custom filters on all of them and exported them sequentially. If you have 32GB of RAM, then that for sure won't be a bottleneck in this test.

          Anandtech tested and said it consumes 92W during stress, not 100W.

          Struggling with tasks against the 3060? Go read Anandtech again, this page has all the evidence to proof your BS is so very stinky. Quick quote: "On the GPU side, the GE76 Raider comes with a GTX 3080 mobile. On Aztec High, this uses a total of 200W power for 266fps, while the M1 Max beats it at 307fps with just 70W wall active power."

          M1 Max is not lousy as you so boldly claimed. Everyone can see you are the indisputable clown spouting all sorts of BS w/o any proof to backup. No need further argument no matter what you dream to claim.

            And M1 max in many Task it struggle against rtx 3060 so no need to keep argument that there are many variants of 3080.

              Claiming the M16 has better performance when the M1 Max is crippled by Rosetta and emulator w/o Metal support is very bias. Such results are only accepted by apple haters blinded by hatred, can't see for themselves the things for what they are.

              How about LT boot the M16 in safe mode and run those tests again? Fair? Acceptable? Why not, if crippling the mac is considered acceptable? And the SD chip runs a ARM version of windows. No complains over x86 emulator apps here?

              And the M16 is not even consider cheap!

                The vlaim of RTX 3080 is not bias, at most not full truth. I have mentioned many times in this discussion there're many variants of the 3080, companies are no longer branding it as such but the usual 3080 naming. Can you understand this simple English and get this into your head! Apple is not bias and likely using a Max-Q version, at most described as half truth.

                Temp and battery life of the M16 were never mentioned. Wattage too. The 3060 alone is already 80W, the i9 is another 45W.

                Your last para is even a bigger BS. Consumer don't care for native codes?? No better excuse for such a nonsensical video tests that's so out of whack?? You are smoking illegal stuffs too much! Consumers who bought the M1 macs all are waiting for native codes!! Why?? Becos they saw how much better their laptop performs from those apps already running native!! It's simple!!

                  Hamburger, 09 Dec 2021The video clearly shows Davinci won the test. The rest of ... moreFirst the video prove Apple claim of rtx 3080 perfomance is bias, and i never say even in single comment that New Macbook didnt have good battery life, we all know Arm have better battery life for now.

                  That M16 has more perfomance than M1 max not equal, if you look for cheaper models you may get something with equal perfomance and cost less.

                  And consumer want things to work, they dont care if it run on rosetta or native, if you pay $3500 for laptop you expect it work its simple.

The rest of the tests ran on Rosetta and universal binary Dolphin emulator that doesn't even support Metal. So not surprise the M1 Max didn't do well at all.

                    No temp check and battery life test on the M16? The M1 Max has 20hrs and the M16 comes in at just 6hrs 34mins
                    https://www.laptopmag.com/reviews/asus-rog-zephyrus-m16

                    The M16 is not even a clear winner in the video.

                    Price for M16 at Amazon is about USD 2400 incl shipping. MBP 14" M1 Max about USD3300. And you said same or batter performance for half the price of the mac??

                        People who wants hi end, hi performance laptop, the price is going to be high. Period.

                        The coming MSI with Alder Lake i9 12900HK and RTX3080Ti is expected to retail at about USD 5400

                        No doubt these 2 laptops have much higher performance than the 16" MBP M1 Max (USD3900), they cost a lot more too.

                        High performance laptops cost a lot of money no matter the brand and OS, period.

                          The lowest end one is on par with M1 Max in performance. Nothing to glorify apple laptop, it is what it is. And hi end laptop cost a lot more. Nobody sells you good stuffs for the cheap. If you read my first post onwards, you'll know I didn't say M1 Max is the best out there. I'll say it again, laptops that can compete or better are in the high price bracket.

                          You want a 60W laptop that can give you very high performance? RTX3080 and Intel Tiger Lake or new upcoming Alder Lake won't match that power envelop. RTX3080 mobile chip alone sucks more than 60W. High performance laptops don't come cheap over windows side of things.

                          Here's another hi end hi performance laptop.

Don't cherrypick a benchmark optimized horribly for a mobile 3080 and perfectly for an m1 max then act like the m1 max is superior since it scored as high. In most tests a mobile 3080 is over 100% faster than the gpu in the m1 max. Stop praising Apple's chips like they're the holy grail when they're mediocre. They're what's to be expected of ARM chips. Much more efficient but much slower.

                                    Just like you talk about cars performance, you talk about engine cc, engine type, powertrain, things like that. Comparing match for match, like for like.
