I just ordered the 14’ M3 Pro (11c, 14c), with 36gb ram. I feel like I might have made a mistake. Should I I return it and get the (12c,18c) version. It’s not that much more. My reasoning was that I wanted better battery life and figured the extra cores might reduce it, but now I’m not too sure.

Would having 4 less gpu cores not give me the ray tracing benefits which are a big upgrade this year?

Any advice on what I should do would be much appreciated!!
