Which chip do I choose for 3D work, what do you recommend among these options:1. Apple M5 Pro (18-core CPU, 20-core GPU)2. Apple M5 Max (18-core CPU, 40-core GPU)Both of them are going into a 14.2" MacBook Pro, not the 16.2", not into a Mac mini / Mac Studio either.I'm not pro-level, and I'm using Blender, but I might try some other software if need arises in the future.
>>1026881Any of them will do
>>1026883You mean out of these two or are you also including the base Apple M5 (10-core CPU, 10-core GPU)? Either way, how come, isn't M5 Max GPU twice as fast as the M5 Pro GPU? Although it may throttle in the 14" MacBook.

>>1026881Mac mini 4 is cheaper and offers more.
>>1026884Any of them
>>1026884Anon I learned on something with 50x less computing power than any of these you'll be fine with anything. That being said more is more. If you want to spend the money spend it
>>1026891>>1026896How come? You mean even for rendering? Of course, rendering on a laptop is retarded, but I don't expect it to be a permanent thing, still kinda want it to be able to handle the rendering for now.>>1026898>If you want to spend the money spend itGiven that I'm putting the chip into a 14.2" MacBook Pro, I'm worried about the M5 Max chip potentially making battery life much worse + thermal throttling
>>1026900you're thinking about it too hard bro. Laptops sucks anyway. Just get something so you can actually start practicing the craft
>>1026902But I might render on the laptop
>>1026990It all depends on the scenesetup. My 10 years old laptop can render eevee scenes fine. You don't need to trace all the rays or whatever, eevee will do.
