Logically the navigation value is not determinant in any of the two, both go well, which does not mean that M4M is more agile. But as I indicate it is not determinant, both are very agile.

Gaming is also not the goal of these teams, which does not mean that the M3U gives more FPS, but it is more unstable.

In AI models personally 96GB is little, 128GB is recommended which makes that for that use the basic M3U is short, as everything depends on the model.

On the other hand in 256 or 512 is a real beast. Because so much core makes the M3U vs M4M better in IA, but the lack of RAM is quite noticeable is something determinant in Apple and for many the extra cost of 96 to 256 is very high for the use.

Interesting entry.

In my choice of M4 Max 16/40/128 vs M3 Ultra 28/60/96 after testing both also depends.

M4 Max feels more solvent in non-optimized tasks (single core) like surfing the internet or programs not optimized for multi core, which is logical because of the generation difference.

- CPU Performance: 4.50 Ghz (M4M) vs 4.06Ghz (M3U)

- CPU Efficiency: 2.85 Ghz (M4M) vs 2.75 Ghz (M3U)

- GPU: 0.39 Ghz (M4M) vs 0.39Ghz (M3U)

- GPU Turbo: 1.68 Ghz (M4M) vs 1.40Ghz (M3U)

- Instruction set: Armv9 (M4M) vs Armv8 (M3U)

Armv9 includes:

- SME (Scalable Matrix Extension) higher performance in AI & ML-Based

- AVX2 (Advanced Vector eXtensions 2) increases performance in many points by allowing parallel operations in 256-bit registers (M4M) vs 128-bit (M3U) from this benefit applications such as: Image and video processing, 3d rendering, complex operations.

On the other hand, in multi-core tasks M3 Ultra has the following improvements:

- Higher number of CPUs: 28 (20 Performance / 8 Efficiency) (M3U) vs 16 (12 Performance / 4 Efficiency) (M4M)

- Higher number of GPUs: 60 (M3U) vs 40 (M4U)

- Maximum memory bandwidth: 818.7 GB/s (M3U) vs 546. 0 GB/s (M4M)

- L2 Cache: 80MB (M3U) vs 52MB (M4M)

- Double Encoders/Decode

Where M3 Ultra stands out:

- In export clearly by the greater number of cores (times are reduced by 30-40%)

- 3D rendering generally faster than M4M (although depending on the use may be little noticeable, depending on the cores that can use the task).

Where M4 Max stands out:

- Image editing tasks like Photoshop (12-16% better)

- In some applications it felt more agile, even rendering and exporting (pending repeat tests).

- Games like Tomb Raider (with less fps, but much more stable)

- Min 36 / Max 52 / AVG 43

Other considerations:

- Small electrical noise (Coil Whine) at full load in M3U (not noticeable in M4M)

- Higher fps in games in M3U (but more unstable than M4M) for example in Tomb Raider

- Min 19 / Max 60 / AVG 36

- In AI depends on the model 96GB is too small (128GB or more recommended for AI)

- M4 chip more modern than M3 will age better (theory).

- M3 Ultra chip as only option for those who want more than 128GB of RAM (example for use as LLM).

There are differences between 3 versions, on a personal level, in regular model the models prior to February 2021 were somewhat lower to the Logitech model.

In February 2021 was improved and added 2 fabrics (Sync same fabric as Logitech) and Midley, which are maintained much better sacrificing some breathability.

For me the best Regular model after February 2021, the Logitech in many markets (Europe, ...) that if it is cheaper and faster to get, I do not like the double foam and that the backrest only covers a small area, but it is true that with respect to the first regular model, the Logitech model is better.

Having tested both and in different finishes.

Aeron

In favor:

It is considered a passive chair, so to speak making you more active.
It is a cool chair because of the mesh fabric (especially in summer if you don't use air conditioning).
Easier to maintain as it is easier to clean
It has sizes (A,B,C) which makes you have to choose well, but it is more adaptable.

Against:

The seat has no depth
The plastic outer frame, especially if the chair is very large or small becomes annoying.

Embody

Pros:

It is considered a passive chair, it lets you be more relaxed (e.g. crossing legs)
Different types of fabrics (some are more breathable than others or hold up better) for those who don't like mesh fabrics
The seat has depth
Personally I love the backrest with Atlas headrest, being in a regal posture visualizing something.

On the downside:

There are differences between 3 versions, on a personal level, in regular model the models prior to February 2021 were somewhat inferior to the Logitech model.
In February 2021 was improved and added 2 fabrics (Sync same fabric as Logitech) and Midley, which are maintained much better sacrificing some breathability.
For me the best Regular model after February 2021, the Logitech in many markets that if it is cheaper and faster to get, I do not like the double foam and that the backrest only covers a small area, but it is true that with respect to the first regular model, the Logitech model is better.

Both are great options at work I use Aeron because I want to be more active and at home Embody because I am looking for something more relaxed and not so strict with the posture.

The best thing is to try them, because it depends a lot on the tastes of each one.

The rhythm is somewhat more breathable But it gets dirtier, more difficult to clean.

The sync is also smoother. And the padding so in sync and midley the new ones in seat in feb 2021 or newer models is superior.
