I wonder if anyone could do a Anandtech style breakdown of these new RT cores. Are they doing something like SER? The 4000 series had major improvements to raytracing compared to the 3000. So when the M3 launched i did not expect them to beat a laptop 4070 in rendering. More like a 3070 was my guess.

https://youtu.be/5Z6EtjccaZc?feature=shared At 5:24 the M3 beats the laptop 4070 by 4 seconds in a render test lasting about a minute.

Also I noticed in geekerwan’s video where the M3 max lost to the 4060 laptop, the original issue of the large GPU of the M series not clocking up immediately still exists. Thats why it seems in their blender test which was just 9 seconds, it lost to the 4060 whereas in this german youtuber test it beat the 4070 because the test was longer allowing the gpu to ramp up fully.

i would dismiss this persons review and the commenter.

Slower than 4070 laptop.

From Geekerwan vs 4060 laptop. https://youtu.be/BpeVdHwaHWU?si=9PVPHZ2cw8xF8hc2&t=747

9 seconds for both in BMW.

24 secs for 4060 (optix) and 26 for M3 in Secret Dear.

Has nothing to do with ramp up. The more complex the scene the bigger the gaps.

So being on par or slower than the 4060 laptop obviously means the 4070 laptop is faster

Lines up with Blender themselves.

But this commenter is insistant Blender and Geekerwan is wrong.....
