A Notebookcheck analysis of the performance and efficiency of the new Apple M3 SoC, Apple's first 3nm chip, in comparison with AMD, Intel and Qualcomm.
I have the 2019 i9 fully maxed out from my employer, and also several M1s (including Pros). When it comes to keeping your hands or feet warm, the i9 is a clear winner. For everything else, it’s the M1 … M3.
Seriously, any M, and especially the Max is a stellar replacement for any Intel MBP, and any workload; especially video, but Blender should perform better as well. The i9 is severly throttled. Otherwise, it’d just melt itself.
He needs to consider GPU. GPU is what matters with rendering not video. If his system is using CUDA than the M…17 doesn’t matter, he needs to consider this.
His system is likely not even using the i9 for his task…

I have what he has, and there’s no GPU to speak of on the i9 MBP.
If he needs to run Final Cut Pro, he’s stuck with Apple, so I don’t think that there’s a real GPO to speak of.
I believe that the M1,…2 …3 are the answer, and especially the MAX.
