# MacBook Pro 14" M3 Pro

The M3 Pro MacBook Pro 14" runs local models at 150 GB/s of memory bandwidth with 18 to 36 GB of unified memory. On Apple Silicon that memory is shared with the GPU, so the whole pool is available for weights: at 36 GB you can hold roughly a 47B dense model at Q4. The Pro roughly doubles the base chip's memory bus. That moves mid-size models from usable to comfortable without moving you into desktop money.

Apple no longer sells this configuration new. It stays fully evaluated here because the used market is where most of its local AI value now sits.

## Measured on the M3 Pro

Nobody has submitted a benchmark on the M3 Pro yet, so every speed on this page is the formula estimate rather than a measured run. The estimate is bandwidth-driven and calibrated against chips that do have data, which makes it a good guide and not a promise.

ToolPiper contributes a result anonymously when you run the benchmark, and the [leaderboard](/fit/benchmarks) shows every chip that already has one.

## Where to go from here

What each step actually changes for local models, rather than which one is newer.

## Why unified memory is the number that matters

On a PC the model has to fit in GPU VRAM, which is a separate pool from system RAM and usually the smaller of the two. Apple Silicon has one pool. The M3 Pro's 150 GB/s bus is shared by CPU, GPU, and Neural Engine, so a 36 GB machine can hand almost all of that to a model with no copy across a bus.

Apple stopped selling this one, which is exactly why it is interesting. The 14-inch chassis cools well enough to hold its clocks through a long generation run, and it is the smallest machine Apple puts a Max chip in. A used M3 Pro at 36 GB still gives you 150 GB/s and a hard 47B ceiling, and neither number degrades with age the way a battery does.

## Common questions

### Can the M3 Pro MacBook Pro 14" run a 70B model?

No. A 70B model at Q4\_K\_M needs about 46 GB, and the largest M3 Pro MacBook Pro 14" tops out at 36 GB, which leaves about 31 GB for weights. The practical ceiling on this machine is around 47B parameters at Q4.

### How much unified memory should I get with the M3 Pro MacBook Pro 14"?

Memory is the only spec that changes what you can run at all. 18 GB holds about a 22B model at Q4; 36 GB holds about 47B. It is soldered, so this is a one-time decision, and it is the upgrade worth paying for before core count.

### How fast are local LLMs on the M3 Pro?

Token generation is bandwidth-bound, so M3 Pro throughput scales with its 150 GB/s memory bus. Divide bandwidth by the size of the weights actually read per token to get the ceiling, then expect roughly half of that in practice. A 7B model at Q4 reads about 4 GB per token pass, so the M3 Pro lands in the tens of tokens per second and a 70B model lands in the single digits.

### Is the 18-core GPU worth it over the 14-core on the M3 Pro?

Not for LLMs. Both bins run the same 150 GB/s memory bus and take the same memory options, and token generation is bound by bandwidth rather than GPU cores. The extra cores show up in image generation and video work, not in tokens per second.

### Is a used M3 Pro MacBook Pro 14" still worth buying for local AI?

For inference, the specs that matter do not age: 150 GB/s and up to 36 GB of unified memory are the same numbers today as they were in 2023. A used M3 Pro at the top memory option usually beats a new base-tier machine at the same price on both. Check the battery and the display, not the silicon.

## Run these models on your MacBook Pro 14"
